Day 5 Getting Better

Well, again I used my best 'shock absorption' form to muddle through the jump roping.  It seems to rid the pain by 85% or so, but the problem is I look like the hump back of Notre Dame when I'm jumping.

Any how, accumulative lower body exercises now have made my legs pretty sore which makes climbing the stairs to put my little guy to bed very difficult.  However, I do remember well that feeling post-marathon when the site of stairs made me weep.

On the diet: better today, although the night is still young.  Half bowl of cheerios, half a salad with grilled chicken, an apple for a snack (which I have allowed myself a whole one since I am still nursing Wyatt and c'mon, give the girl a break). My husband is making surf and turf for dinner believe it or not; lobster and steak. (We don't normally eat like this).  He is a man who LOVES to eat.  I plan on having the other half of my lunch salad and a small portion of steak.

Looking forward to tomorrow's exercises.  My mat arrives, which I'm hoping will help the back pain.

Stay strong Heather. The rope jumping will come along. We will be doing a lot of it I'm sure so just bull your way through it and do not get discouraged. We are not in a hurry.

The pain will pass.
You will un-hunch as your legs become stronger.
