Jump Rope
Looking to purchase a jump rope. Amazon has some fairly inexpensive models, but I'm not sure what to purchase. Something durable with some heft to it. Any recommendations? I see there are vinyl models (for indoor use) for speed and leather models.

Snacking
I can't find a filling snack that will keep me full for more than an hour. Peanut butter and apples are a great option and so is hummus and veggies, but I would like other options also.
