    So I was in my office this morning and my computer was updating itself. Instead of sitting at my desk waiting for it to upload I did 5 minutes of "jumping rope" (jumping at my desk without a skipping rope)!!! 5 minutes down, 25 to go!

    It is official I :heart: skipping. Fancied some ice cream and popcorn tonight, as it is date night but would have put me over on kcals. So I did 15 minutes of skipping and now I can have ice cream and also half way through my skipping :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

    I think from now on if I fancy ice cream ect I will use this as a benchmark if I want it bad enough I should skip for it.

    I love this weeks challenge !! I'm deffanitaley going to need it since I will be consuming cake and few dinners this weekend since tomorrow is my 21st birthday!!!! Not as excited as I always thought I would be for this day, but hey growing up in Louisiana means I've been getting away with it all before so the only thing is I'm actually legal to do it now. Lol. The casino is the only thing I haven't done before, an I'm not really feeling like going. I love being a part of this group, it's nice to know I'm not alone in my struggle. I will be going kidnap my cousins jumprope tonight! As for the other challenge things are tight right now so idk if I'll beable to do it every week but like everyone else I would love to by a hot new outfit for Christmas!!

    Wow I did 5 mins skipping and it was hard! I always used to want to skip 100 in one go after watching the secret garden when I was younger and maybe soon I'll be able to achieve that goal :-)

    Aaaah, I'm having a hard time jumping rope!!! I keep getting it caught under and can only manage to get 2-3 jumps at a time. Yesterday the weighted hula hoop I ordered finally arrived and I didn't have much luck with that either--I couldn't get it to stay up.

    I have my work cut out for me!!!

    :bigsmile: Just got done with 50 burpees (40 beginner and 10 advanced)!!! :bigsmile: I had to make up for last week. I did 10 the first day but I got lazy the rest of the week. It took me awhile to do these 50 but I feel really accomplished. I already feel back on track!

    Maybe I can even get 5 or 10 minutes of jump roping in later today. :smile:

    Dude, that's awesome! I should do that because I only did 20 then got lazy :) I think I will tomorrow, just to show myself I can!

    agree!!! I figured out that using my imaginary rope I never miss the rope so I think I actually end up jumping more - just thinking

    Super multitasking! Thanks for the inspiration :)

    My scale is just not moving. I'm exercising 6 days a week, under my calories everyday, watching my salt, carb intake and drinking my water (bleah) This is aggravating!! *sigh*. Ok just had to vent! Skipping is fun, but dangerous for me with a actual jump rope LOL. I'm going on a long weekend mini vacation. Hopefully it will kick start my weight loss again.

    Well, I went and bought myself a skipping rope and plan on starting this challenge tomorrow. I used to love skipping rope. The only problem is, I want to do it in private and don't know if I'll be able to do it in the house... my exercising issues, but I'll get over it.

    On another note, the last few days have been crazy! I haven't had any time at home... hardly. Yesterday was my 6 year anniversary with my fiance and he got into a car accident. He's ok, but sure was a crazy way to spend our anniversary. Our plans kind of had to shift for it. Now, he's fine, but his car is gone to the scrap yard... which also means that I have to get up and drive him into work in the morning, then come home and get ready for me to go to work... remember to go pick him up... it's crazy!

    I just want one night to stay at home! Just one...

    Are you eating your exercise calories?

    Have you tried upping your water, and taking a bit longer rest? I noticed when I'm working out a lot, that sometimes the scale won't move, but then if I just rest for like Fri, Sat, & Sunday, I'll magically be down like 3lbs come Monday. Its just the way my body is, so its just a suggestion. :)
