My aching buttocks!
Well it was a crazy finish to the week. managed to get shopping late last night so now am armed with some healthier choices for snacks/meals.
No definite “workouts” this weekend but yesterday was beautiful and we spent about 2 hours in the back alley jumping rope. I taught my niece to jump rope about 3 weeks ago. Now its all she wants to do. So i have a small rope the we stand at either end and turn for her. she is getting really good at it. So yesterday we attracted a few of the neighbor hood kids as well.
Well we broke out the “BIG ROPE” (one of my brothers climbing ropes) so we could accomodate more kids/adults. So basically I spent two hours jumping rope on and off. We were trying to teach them how to “jump in” to an already turning rope (had to enlist the adults of the neighbors to turn for us big kids. We had a great time. Today my buttocks are sore. So may add jumping rope to my list of things to do. . .
Finished the day with a meal of 4 oz salmon, 4 oz sirlion steak and a salad. (Also had two beers, but hey I earned them).
So getting healthier, not by leaps and bounds but defintiely making headway.

Brilliant, sounds like a great day, and those beers were definitely well earned.
That is awesome. Jumping rope is certainly a great workout…works the calfs and the thighs, and of course the glutes (as you have already noted). And nice meal, the beer isn’t so bad, though you may want to do 1 per day for a better formula. Keep it up, every little change makes a difference, never give up. God Bless!

dude, I hope that was an _old_ climbing rope.
I’m working on my diet too - good to see you back on it.
bigdave_nv: Well, he hasn’t climbed for years and I am sure he would consider it a good rope, but I am sure he would not mind us using it. . . maybe
Jumping rope is a great add to a workout…
When it gets too easy, start trying double-unders.
And when you think of me, think of me as your friend, not the devil. I’m not the devil. I’m not.
jumproping is a great activity!
