I made some progress with the rope tonight. I don't know if I just started to remember how, or if it's because I slowed it down a bit. Maybe the two are the same thing for me right now. Thanks for the encouragement.
On the other hand I don't consider Randy needs any encouragement with his teasing!! I realize the forum already has a princess but I think perhaps "Weet-bix Countess" or "Lady of the Weet-bix" would better fit the decorum due my years!
I think it must have been at the bottom of the pile today.Good night! Yeah I know kind of a hit and run, but I was thinking of you. Didn't see your diary earlier today?
Nice to see you as ever. Time to say "Good day to you, and enjoy your lunch," by now I suppose.I don't know why I should find that encouraging, but I did!! Thank you.
The second go was definitely easier.
Hmmm. I suppose using an alternative material might make a difference...

Breakfast 9:30 2 weetbix,. 1C lowfat soy milk. 1/3 C tinned peaches. 1 slice wholemeal toast with minimal margarine and marmalade. Boiled egg. ½ glass tomato juice.1 C coffee with 40 ml Hilo.
Lunch: 12:30 1 wholemeal bread roll. 100 gm low fat cottage cheese.
In a rush again and forgot veges again. I can't remember if I made a point of noting this last time, but seeing as it's happened again I will highlight it. I would prefer to remember to grab a vege juice if I'm short of time.
Snack : 3:30 1" sausage roll. 2 C coffee with milk. (Visiting Mum's). I would have preferred to eat some nuts too.
Dinner: 8:00 Pasta. 3/4 C spaghetti. Sauce made with 130 gm tinned red salmon, tomato, stuffed green olives, fresh basil and chives, lemon juice.
Handful of snow peas, capsicum.
Exercise
1:00 DNA Tower. 800 steps. This was the girl's idea and she had the time worked out too, so that was all I could fit in. I went from one set to the next with little delay because I knew my time was short. The first set was a killer. I went up faster than before (56 secs). I think that was partly because I used the other spiral and my sense of how far I had to go suffered - consequently I didn't pace myself. When I got up there I thought all my leg muscles had fused and I might not be able to walk down again!! I did a couple of stretches at the bottom though and it was ok again after about the third set.
5:30 Local walk 3.5 km (2.1 miles)
10:00 (?) Rope. 100 jumps, 100 gallops R foot forward, 100 L foot forward, 100 alternating skips.
I think probably it was easier because I was going more slowly and because I didn't have to keep stopping as often as before. Restarting over and over is hard. I still had patches of that but I got in 40 jumps at the beginning and that gave me more confidence. I'm thinking it will be worth it for me to do this just to build up my skill for now.

LOL. I loved your response sleepy.
I am on holidays - a couple more days left. They are definitely more fun these days now that I can enjoy being more active.Whoo-hoo! It looks like you are staying really, really busy!
I have been, too.
I figured you had been busy too. It's lovely to see you here. I hope it won't be so long till you say hi again.
LOL! That's clever.
I really really want to jump on those weetbix temptress jokes - I think I deserve an upper class title!! However, I love seeing you here, so I will tolerate this for the sake of your presence.

Seriously, thank you so much for your kind words. They meant a lot to me.
omygosh! skipping! that is such a good idea! i am going to go and dig out my rope and try and do 100 every night

It's not my idea. You can thank the Trucker for that. I hope you have fun!
Thank you!! By now it's evening and not over yet. Time for a quick skip before I have a proper look at the diaries.Hello! I hope you are going to have a great day today...or are you in the evening already?
Walking and videos are still my favourites.
Thank you. I've seen a lot of other people's pics by now and I thought it was time.
There's room for more Princess'es around here - I'm sure I can't be the only one
Oh Your Royal Highness, how very kind. I'm not sure that I need a royal title, but I do think a noble rank would suit me.

sleepless - Thank you so much for those kind thoughts. I am really looking forward to you feeling ready to post pics too!!
Breakfast 9:00 2 weetbix,. 1C lowfat soy milk. 1/3 C tinned peaches. 1 slice wholemeal toast with minimal margarine and marmalade. Handful of brazil nuts. ½ glass tomato juice.1 C coffee with 40 ml Hilo.
Lunch: 3:00 2 slices wholemeal bread . 100 gm low fat cottage cheese.
V8 vege juice.
Dinner: 8:00 2 slices wholemeal bread. ~ 170 gm crimson snapper, light dusting flour, a little olive oil, lime juice. Snow peas, capsicum, celery, broccoli, 1/2 tspn low fat French Onion dip.
That was too much fish! I really need to make sure it stays under 150 gm now. Way under if it's 2 serves of carbs as well, it was just too heavy.
11:30: Planning on eating the salad I didn't eat because that fish was too much. (Zucchini, tomato, capsicum, mushroom, olives, snow peas, balsimic vinegar.) And maybe some watermelon.
Exercise:
9:30(?): 20 min Heat video.
10:30 (?) Rope. 100 double jumps, 100 gallops R foot forward, 100 L foot forward, 100 alternating skips. 100 single jumps.
My son suggested the single jumps. He said it would be "a good goal for you, Mum," and that it feels like you're flying. It does too. Stepping on the rope while you're flying doesn't feel all that wonderful though!
