Sorry, people, now most of you do not know me because I haven't been logging in for the longest time. I just weighed myself yesterday. From 117 lbs around two or three weeks ago, I'm down to 112 lbs! During that time I've found a few buddies to exercise with. We did a variety of activities like jog, hiphop abs (hips, buns, and thighs), and yoga. I've also done thirty minutes of Pilates (10-minute solutions: abs, buns & thighs, and flexibility; so that's 10 minutes each) the other day. Now my abs hurt especially my lower abdomen.

Yay, for losing 5 lbs! I'm starting to overeat again in the weekends, though. Tsk tsk tsk.

Anyway, good luck everyone!

Hello again, everyone!

I've just finished my second time of jumping rope. The first time I did it was for 30 minutes and now, I did about 20 minutes of the activity. Don't worry, I didn't do it without resting in between. Of course, after a while, when I run out of breath and/or start feeling my heart rate going up, I slow down and take deep breaths and begin again.

Jump rope is a good cardio workout if you're tired of running/jogging/walking. If you check CC's activity browser, jumping rope can burn a maximum of over 600 calories per hour! It's good for your arms and legs, and I've even read on other forums that it also works on the abs? Anyway, I felt my muscles ache the day after my first try on the jump rope. I had sore arms, shoulders, and thighs!

Hahaha, I must have surprised my own body. =)

I like my lower legs (they're called calves, right?) because they are toned. I also like my lower back because it never gets chubby. Hahaha!

I like my eyes too.
