Day 13 and all really good. Skipping has been hell although I tried something different tonight and it felt a lot better.
Basically - to date, I have been doing a skip, then a small skip or jump in a rhythm for each time the rope swung around - effectively jumping twice for each skip. I know this sounds dumb .. but I began spinning the rope around quicker - so now I am effectively skipping very quickly but to the same rhythm.. I do tire out but I was getting blocks of 100 down and not getting tangled.
I suspect most of us are already doing it this way. Will try this again tomorrow for our mega 800 jumps trial. I am guessing over time stamina will improve allowing me to get larger numbers down. I admire those in the group who can already do this. Who thought skipping would be so difficult and good for you.
Food going well. Dinner was risoni (pasta) with asparagus, mushrooms, beef slices with broccoli on the side. This was the first time I had pasta since starting PCP - beef also. Within the limits although not as often. My body was telling me I need iron / my Maltese background was telling me I need pasta (still a carb). Have the same for lunch tomorrow - at different portions.
Onwards and upwards: bring on Day 14 ! (And can I say still a long long way to go but I am seeing effects and feeling really good.)
That double jump thing will even out over time. Everyone does that at first, you're not weird.
