Still trying to lose that 40 pounds I gained during pregnancy! Is anyone jump roping for 20 min/day with me? I love it! I really am slimming down and I don't have a scale and am not gonna get on one until my end-of-the-month reveal.

However...I supplemented this week with a trip to the stadium. It closes at 10 pm but we went around 9 pm and ran stadiums. The big steps are hard on my knees but there are smaller steps I was able to run up and down and I'm still sore (the good muscle sore)! Plus it's fun being in the stadium at night and it's very breezy in there. My hubby walked up and down with the baby in his front pack and got a good calf workout.

I've done it twice, and I only was able to do about 10 minutes a day. So I do 10 minutes with the jumprope and then run a mile or two on the treadmill. It's kind to nice of switch it up a little bit.

On another note, for anyone who's a runner, have you tried the Nike Plus for the iPod? Some friends tried to convince me to get it with them. Apparently we can sync our runs and train together and create soundtracks for each other. Sounds pretty cool.

I still need to buy a longer rope..you guys are kicking my butt! Have not heard much about the Nike plus. Sounds very cool!

I have the Nikes (very comfortable) just have to get the iPod. When I do I'll let you know how it works out

I will definitely have to get a jump rope. Sounds like great exercise! I could use to lose some more too. I actually went down a clothing size or two this summer, but I'd love to get down to a size 8 or 10.

Oh I almost forgot the update.

So September has come and gone quicker than I ever expected and I jumped a whole lot less than I expected.

However, I did manage to jump once or twice a week and that was about it for exercise except for the two times I ran stadiums. I lost a total of 4 pounds for the month and that doesn't seem like much but my goal is only 14 pounds so I'll be there soon. 9 months up 9 months down right?
