The number "800" managed to freak me out a bit, especially when I looked at the forthcoming workouts and "1,000" came up. Not sure that we won't be doing "2,000" jumps very soon in the future. So, the thought of 800 PLUS the workout was daunting enough to send me back to bed this morning. Decided I needed to take the only opportunity I will have in the next 2 weeks to rest. Felt better for it. But also managed to catch up on eating everything I needed to eat today.
I also made some muffins with coconut flour which were d-e-l-i-c-i-o-u-s.
After putting off the exercise sessions I actually found it relatively OK to do the 800 and then start the rest. It is all in the mind. Only worry though is that I skip in a nearby park which has hard packed dirt on the ground as I figure this is better than concrete or stone. However, it takes me about 2-3 minutes to walk home from the park and not sure if this is too much of a break in the exercise routine before I start the other exercises. Other option is skipping on the road and amusing the neighbours. But that may be too hard on the knees for the long term.
Push ups were hard though. I am also looking forward to the time when my arms will be pulling up less weight in the incline pull ups (due to miraculous weight loss on my part) with the vain hope that that will make them easier. They were tough. Lots of moaning going on. Nothing louder than that as I didn't have the energy. But...... once it was all over I was bouncing around, so that is good.
