*POWER* IN NUMBERS!
WOW!! I made it the entire weekend…stayed on track with eats, and exercised!! The exercise is what I am most proud of. The cardio really kicks my butt! I know it will get easier with time, and with more weight off.
I had blogged a couple days ago about POWERING IT UP in the month of January. I just really need to get with the program, and I decided one way or another I was going to do just that. By the way, I dearly appreciate all of the wonderful comments you guys left me. I also was really excited about others that wanted to do the same as me….get busy & make this happen! There really is something to be said about power in numbers-WOW!
Lucky for me….Nancy, the coordinator of the WILDCAT team, replied to me and said she was going to come up with a challenge for our team for the month. Just what I needed!! A challenge! That really got me pumped…again, just what I needed. The next day there it was-a jump rope challenge! This will be a challenge, but she posted some really good tips and ideas on how to train with a jump rope. The one I will be doing is jumping for 5 min and then weight training for 5-in a 30 minute period. I really think this is doable. So, tomorrow I am gonna buy my rope and shake the place up!!! lol!
I invite all of you to join me in this. Doesn’t it sound like fun??!
Take care you guys! Have a great week!

Woohoo!!! I am also stoked for the jump rope challenge! Let’s get it done Renee!!!
I am totally down to jump rope! Let’s do it!
I bought my jump rope!! Lets go!! Love Debbie
I love the challenges on here. They get me on fire and ready to MOVE! Jump roping is awesome exercise. Unless you’re like me and end up chasing the rope after you trip on it more than you do actually jumping.
Woo hoo, stoked here too!
YAHHHH!!!! I have my jump rope too! Thanks for being our inspiration! Now, I have to go find a cute cat to rep you! I thought I saw a blog from you, so I searched and searched and herrre it is!
MJ is hilarious!!!! Keep chasing girl!
I’m glad the challenge is catching on. You know what inspired it - it was that Shadowboxing class I did before I got sick.
As soon as the cough leaves me body,I can do more cardio the way I used too!
WHOOOOO HOOOOO!!
I am really glad to see so many eager jumpers too!!!
Thanks for the support all, and…
HAPPY JUMPING!!!!!!
I will look for my professional jump rope with heavy weighted beads and a counter. I am VERY up for this. When I first tried jumping rope, about 25 years ago, I could only jump once or twice before I was totally winded (THIS IS THE TRUTH!). Well one year later, I was able to skip for 15 minutes straight at a real good speed. I had not even thought about skipping rope for many years until I read this post. SIGN ME UP!
Renee! You are doing great girl! YEAH!!!!!!!
Great job!
That sounds like an amazing work out! Jump roping is like the best exercise for you in the world. (I unfortunately suck at it… I am in VERY BAD SHAPE!)
Good luck and keep up the great work
Thanks for the response. Jumping rope is an excellent idea, but I think I’m gonna stick with my elliptical until I get a bit more stamina. I Plus my stomach would probably fly up and hit me in the face. I hate when that happens! I bought a neon pink hula hoop the other day and am waiting for the house to be empty before I try it. Have a great day. Donna
Dang! I am pumped just reading your post!
