    I can't jump due to an ankle injury so I skipped these. But I did 100 others.

    Was feeling pretty crappy about bingeing last night but glad I pulled it together and put on my workout clothes. Now my squats are done and I'm going for my run!

    Well, because of one knee, I can't jump like that. HOWEVER...I did 150 regular squats. I had my husband watch me for 100 of them (4 sets of 25) to make sure I was going down far enough.

    HOPE THAT PASSES for the day.

    Done! I had to modify the squats (didn't jump but raised myself up onto the balls of my feet quickly) but I got 'em done.
