Skipping with kids is GREAT!!!

Had a tough start to the day. Not only tired, but after dental treatment yesterday couldn't chew. So breakfast of liquidized food including carrots and celery just not good. Plus if it is liquidized, seems to make you hungry more quickly. Snack and lunch was also reminiscent of baby food. So was not in a good mood. The kids both said they would come to the park with me and skip this evening. So they skipped and played with airplanes whilst I skipped away. I discovered 1) it just whizzes by when you have distractions, and 2) if I keep moving forward in something between a light jog to a slow pace I am much more fluid and don't trip up as often. For the first time ever I managed to get to 100 without tripping up! Kept going round and round the park. Result! The rest of the workout was a breeze as a result. But I did nearly tip over the drinks on the coffee table when I tried to do my pull-ups. Need a child to sit on it, and no drinks! Aim for tomorrow: take husband AND kids to the park to skip.......
