It's just about 10pm and I just completed my 800 jumps. I normally do my exercises in the morning but I was up at 5am pacific time this morning to catch a 7am flight back to Connecticut after a business trip to Seattle.
I am psyched about the exercises as they are going very well and my body looks forward to them every day. This week I transitioned from the basic jump technique to alternate foot jumping (speed jumping). As my technique is getting better I am starting to jump faster and my bead rope is too heavy. I am planning on picking up a new jump rope that has a counter and is more for speed jumping.
I am not doing as well as I need to with the diet only because I have not taken a scale with me nor have I committed the time to eyeballing my quantities. I am doing very good at eating the right foods, but I need to commit to figuring out the right quantities to eat. I have already picked out a portable digital scale the I can take with me on business trips. I am picking it up tomorrow. I can also spend a lot of time on figuring out other strategies like eyeballing as I am not traveling anywhere next week. Per a recommendation from Patrick, I will be cutting up various gram amount of the nutrients and eyeballing them to get used to the amounts. Having the portable scale will also help.
I feel better than I have in a long time. I am getting to bed at a decent hour and sleeping pretty well. Since I am not eating any of the junk I used to eat my body has more energy I also hope to have new pictures up by this weekend.
Sounding very strong! Good luck with the portable scales. Getting the right grams is important because when Patrick and Chen make changes later they need a benchmark.
ReplyDeleteYour energy will only increase and you'll keep feeling better.
ReplyDeleteA good jump rope David can make a big difference. The speed ropes are nice. Good to read that your body is feeling the purge of eating better. Out with bad...in with the good!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you are liking the jump rope, I love the other exercises but I still hate the jump rope. Tell me if switching makes a difference. Eye balling the grams gets easier with practice but I notice I am sometime surprised with the protein portions.
ReplyDeleteI feel great too and I am also sleeping better. It's great isn't it?
Keep it up!
