Holding myself accountable

Posted by primaballerina on November 20th, 2009 |Filed Under General, Pilates, Weight Watchers |

I recently bought a jump rope.  I also recently started running. I was then told my my physio that my back wasn’t strong enough to be running. I’m really confused because my surgeon told me I should do anything and everything to gain strength. He said there’s really nothing I shouldn’t be doing. Clealry I need a 3rd opinion. As of now, I think i’m going to start jumping rope  anyway. I need something that I can do in my apartment when I need a break from working.

My goal is to jump rope for 30 minutes for at least 4 days this week (up until my weigh in on wednesday). There’s really no reason why I can’t do that. I can find 30 minutes a day. I would also like to try to fit in 20 minutes of pilates. I used to do Winsor pilates and found that it really helped my core strength. I need to improve the condition of my back so that i can try running again. I’d like to start in the summer.

Apart from that, I need to do better when it comes to tracking. I used to be PERFECT at following the program. I need to get back to that place. Not really sure what happened, but i’m disappointed in myself for yo-yoing since i’ve been back, and I’m certain it’s been a result of my failure to track. I’m just SO close to my 10%, I NEED to get there before I go home for Christmas. 2.2 Lbs. This should not be this difficult.

    good plan with the jump ropeing.

    another great thing is hoola hooping. Get a weighted hoola hoop, 1-3 lbs and challenge yourself on it. Go 3 min, then try to beat it, ect. ect.

    It should not hurt your back but it will greatly improve your waistline.

    Have a great day.
