gategrrlYeah. I've slacked off. Last time I wrote, I said I was quitting the YMCA. Yes, that WAS a huge load off my mind. Now I don't have a bill piling high on my credit card every month (which is great for my credit card losing some "weight"!). Me? Instead of getting anxious about making time for a class, I've slowly, and I mean slowly, started out with a jump rope.
Two days ago I made it to 26 jumps/skips over the rope, which is really a tube of gray plastic with a weight to make to it swing. 26 jumps and I was way out of breath. Today I made it 24 and then had to stop because of...let's just say I have physical issues related to childbearing...but I was barely winded that time. And the best part? It's fun. It's really really fun. I feel like a kid again when I'm jumping that gray tube rope. And I have no excuses for not doing it, except that I'm lazy if I don't. I'm even thinking of trying out a hula hoop, but I never could do that. Couldn't get the coordination down for keeping that hoop up around my waist. Don't know if I want to try. But it might be fun. Might.
And I'm walking on the dreaded Plateau. 162 steady. I just love my carbs too much, I think. And Halloween is coming with its tons of candy and cookies and (thanks to Mermaid) cakes...OMG. I'll be lucky if I don't gain back every pound I've lost since last April.

Date: 2009-10-28 03:22 am (UTC)Set a definite number of times to jump over that rope-tube, and do crunches, gradual stuff. Also been meaning to get my bike finally put together after I had it shipped out to CA about, um, 9 years ago now? Embarrassing: but with the kids, I really didn't have a chance to get back onto that very uncomfortable seat (which I am SO going to switch out for a better one designed for a women's pelvis!).
But yeah. Exercise should be fun dammit.
