Burning calories.

I burned a little extra calories today. I skipped rope for 20 minutes and burned about 240 cals. I know that's NOT even close to the calories I consumed yesterday but I couldnt do more, I was TIRED. I plan to add rope skipping to my routine, not everyday but maybe 3 times a week.
I really like skipping rope, I use to do it everyday with my sisters and friends. I stopped when I got to middle school and coincidentally enough that's when my weight started to creep up and really fast. I mean I've never been the thinner sister of the bunch but when I was in 7th grade I believe I was 128 (yeah, that's over weight for a 7th grade kid), at that time I was only 10 lbs heavier than my sisters! When I got to grade 9th I was 168. That's a lot weight gain in 2 years. Hopefully by bringing back rope skipping into my life I will lose more weight =).

Today's eats:
BREAKFAST: (before I had BF I drank hot water with lemon, I heard it helps flush out the bad stuff in your body) 1/2 c oatmeal - splenda (skipped the PB), 1 cup of grapes, 1 oikos honey yogurt.
SNACK: 1 fiber one
LUNCH: scrambled eggs (2 egg whites, 1 whole egg) with string beans and one corn tortilla.
DINNER: 1/2c rice and 1c beans and a hot link.
SNACK: 1/2 c fruit salad from yesterday.
(I realized the hot link and fruit salad weren't a good choice)

I watched the "Orphan" tonight (which was a good movie) and there were chips passed around and I got a few, I didnt measure it but it wasnt much, maybe a handful.

Asided from the rope skipping, I did level 1 fromt the 30 day shred. I use to feel it was too hard for me, but today I felt it easy. I did enjoy it because it was something different from the passed days. I needed that change, and i'm going to continue with level 1 for one whole week and then move on to level 3.

My friday classes are canceled until after spring break...Yes!!! Which means I go back to friday classes until April and longer weekends. I'm happy. Tomorrow my friend and I are going out so that'll be fun.
I'm hoping that before I leave I'll do 20 mins of jumprope, so I'll just have the dvd to do after I come.

Thanks for reading!
Talk to you soon! =D
