Rope jumping and other stuff.

What the hell was I thinking?!?  For those of you who follow me on FB you know that I planned on jumping rope for 10 minutes every hour yesterday.  Ha...that didn't happen at all.  I did however,  jump rope every hour.  I eventually jumped 100 jumps or more each time I did it.  I just wanted to move while at work.  I need to move more.  Because let's face it...there are days when I just sit at my desk and wait for ya'll to post.  I know...I'm pitiful.

So jumping rope at work and at home were my only forms of exercise yesterday.  That and playing with the kids. 

So in an effort of full disclosure...I ate like crap today. 

I went to Abuelos Mexican Restaurant for lunch today.  Well the lunch didn't take place until 2 pm.  I hadn't eaten since the night before at 8:45 pm.  Yup...I'm the worst.  If not I'm not hungry I don't eat.  Oh wait.  I did have two 100 calorie cheese packs.  BTW...that cheese is so yummy when it gets to room temperature.  Gross...I know.

Back to my lunch.  I already know what I wanted to order.  I told myself I was only going to have 10 chips with salsa.  That didn't quite work out.  I could pretty much see the bottom of the container when it was all over.  I left the salsa...but the chips.  I couldn't stop eating them.  They were hot.  OMG.  Okay..so my meal was Enchiladas DE Cozumel with Pappas.  Yup...I ATE IT ALL.  I think I might have left some pappas on my plate.  But that is about it. 

Dinner was a smart one.  My water intake was pretty good today. 

Then at 9:45 I decide I should work out.  LOL  I know...it's a wonder I ever sleep.  So I did my 3 workout videos again then I jumped 250 times with 10 leg crunches, 10 scissor crunches and 20 full sit ups.  That was killer.  But I did it.

LBG are resident lapband guru talked about setting goals the other day.  I have been working on my list.  I will share it with you soon. I can't wait to work on them.  I have to get Jen to tell me how to create tabs...LOL...all I do is type people. 

Since my face has cleared up...I'm back to taking photos of myself.  You know I love me.  So here is a picture of today's outfit.  It was cute...however..I'm not happy with my crotch area.  I mean it just looks out of place.  (excuse the picture...my mom took it...sitting down...so it doesn't really show how fabulous I am.)

Did ya'll see that my awesome roomie, Stephanie Joy reached goal.  I'm so freaking happy for her.

I L-O-V-E that outfit! So cute! And good for you getting in some movement at work. I got your text message, but not until late. Didn't want to wake you, but wanted you to know I wasn't ignoring you! Oh my goodness, it took me 10 minutes to get down the steps to the bathroom so I could take a shower! Today, i don't know how I'm going to make it at work! Have yourself a fantastic day!

Jumping rope is an amazing workout. My dad used to make me do it as a kid!! You are looking fabulous!

Amanda said...

I love that you jumped rope all day long. That is a fantastic idea! I think I might do the same. One day that is!
Love the outfit...I think the crotch area is more from the angle of the picture then anything.
Have a great day today!

Steph said...

I've never been able to jump rope. I have this horrific coordination thing, but I was good at Chinese Jump rope, but that's way different! You look great honey!

You have SO flung a craving for me for Mexican. Damn you!! :)

You look great and thanks for the shout out. All the love and support yesterday was overwhelming. We are going to have so much fun next month!

As for the food dearest, just move past that and don't dwell. I am sure it was delicious and now out of your system. There are no "bad" foods. : )

Um, three workout videos? That does sound killer. Good for you for pushing through that.

Cute, summery outfit you have on there and your smile is positively contagious!

Rhonda said...

Umm, of COURSE it shows how fabulous you are!

I loved seeing the jump roping goal on FB. It did sound a little ambitious (10 mins is a LONG TIME!), but I wasn't gonna rain on your parade! I think you're awesome for doing 100. I bet your legs are feeeling it today.

I need to figure out what leg crunches are. I need me some of those.

Whatev' - That pic is fabulous. Good for you on the jump roping. That's a great idea and one I may be stealing, but I'll need to get a jump rope first!

MandaPanda said...

I don't think I could even jump rope 10 times in a row so you go! Cute outfit!

Theresa said...

Hey - I hear you and Brandi are getting tattoos in Chicago (did I already email you about this??) I'm wanting to get one too. A bee added to my flower - but I'm also thinking of getting something else - but I'm stuck on what and where - so... we'll see. But maybe I could tag along with you two - have you picked a place to have it done??

Cece said...

So much going on in this post ! 1st off - okay, not eating twin ... we must eat (cuz I do the same thing ... and then binge - at least that's what I used to do !!) THREE videos - you go girl - I can't even get thru one (well, I don't have one to get thru but you get my drift). Outfit is so cute - agree with Amanda - it's the angle of the camera - cuz it is cute !!

Andrea said...

Those chips are the devil!!! Glad you didn't let it get you down and did good the rest of the day! You look fab!
