Day 2 of attempting to jump rope.
Today went soooo much better. 30 seconds on 30 seconds off for 10 mins. I managed to go the full 30 seconds several times 40-55 jumps. Tripped up a few times but no any where near as bad.
I did a couple of things differently.
1st… I had a shot a Jaeger mixed with 4oz oj. A shot to loosen up and relax. Oj for the sugar.
2nd I put in some headphones and played some music.
3rd I jumped in a more public place (pressure to do well so I don’t embarrass my self)
It worked!! Now to learn to speed up my rope and stop “double jumping” between revolutions.

Day 3
20 mins total 30:30 intervals
5 mins with 1/2 lb rope (this is what I have been using)
5 mins with 1/4 lbs rope (not ready for this yet. Tripped more often. Was trying to try to go faster and stop the double jump. Need to learn to speed up with 1/2 lb rope.)
10 mins 1/2 lb rope. This went better. Slowly worked up a little faster managed to stop double jumping. Still a slower jump but better.
Also was doing cross swings during rest to keep body moving. Worked on going right into jumping from the swings. Last 5 mins I managed it perfectly with out smacking the back of my head after the first jump lol.

20 mins 30:30 skipping. Boyfriend joined in using a 3/4 lb rope.
Missed a few days due to a family emergency. Mom slipped and fell. Muscles are swollen and angry around her old injury (2 slipped discs in lower back). Had to help her get a doc appointment (not er or urgent care due to covid concerns) get meds and help around the house.
Thankfully no fractures or new slipped discs. Can’t tell if old worse are worse due to swelling tho.

So… Slowly getting back into things wanting to prep my self for gym opening in a couple weeks.
I need to focus on consistency again and managing my diet. I have put on a few too many lbs in my laziness.
Today marks day 1 of starting to track my weight again and watching my portion sizes.
Diet wise I am gonna keep it simple
Breakfast is a fruit and veggie protien shake using water or almond milk for the liquid.
Lunch usually left over dinner or a salad/sandwhich with tuna
Snack if any is a protien bar (protien 1 has 20grams each)
Dinner is always a meat, a carb source and a veggie. Will be using less oils when cooking this.
LSS cardio 30 mins. Just a nice incline walk. HR between 130 and 150.
