Day 118 - Mic Release isn't perfect, but catching more than not, BUT at the beginning. If I put them at the end, still missing - but they'll come! Super humid today, so chose to work on the step through and easy wraps.

Day 119 - Is a #freestylefriday with @susyjumps and I did my best😉. Included footwork I've been working on, my beginning mic release, and a 360 turn that @kh.jumps inspired me with, but I goofed and put my own spin on it🤪. I tried to include a TS but had to settle for a messy TS wrap to end with🤣!

Day 229 - Well, didn't find the woman in my neighborhood that my husband saw jumping yesterday - YET! I'm on a mission though to find someone to jump rope with! People on the street might start thinking I'm creepy the amount of times I drove down the road today🤣

Anyway, this is why you record your sessions. By the time I finished tonight, I was asking myself why? Why am I still jumping rope. I should be able to do 20 simple crosses without tripping to start with and my crosses were awful tonight. I had a hard time with so much stuff that there's just not time to include here. But when I came in to edit, I posted in the exact order I jumped tonight. After watching, yes, I struggled a lot with crosses and I can't figure out why, and I remember being really frustrated with my progress while I was jumping. However, watching I did have some good spots.

So I guess I'll pick the rope up again tomorrow and try try again!

Day 228 - this was my yesterday sessions before and after dinner. Was working on a Wednesday combo but ended up not being happy with anything I did including my cross work. Then I just wasn't motivated to edit so nothing got posted until tonight. BUT I did jump, so I kept my jumping streak and I did work the cross challenge!

Day 227 - 20 crosses wasn't happening today, sooo I worked some side swing crosses mixed with regular. I just wanted to do this short combo of them without tripping. Stepped on the rope on the last one, but no one watch that!😂 Then I worked on footwork today especially one that @freja.jumps did a tutorial on today and that I've had saved from @jennyjustjump I think it's the Miami step. I tried it a long time ago and struggled, I think I got it tonight, but my shins are on 🔥! I mixed it with some other footwork tonight too. Let's see if I can do it tomorrow and make it a little smoother!

Day 226 - SOOOOO CLOSE!!! Well in addition to the 20 crosses in 20 seconds, I tried transitioning between forward and reverse running man since watching a great tutorial by @lindseybrookewilkins today. It really helped, but still gonna take a little more practice! Since I cannot end my combos with a mic I always put it at the beginning and do a toe catch. So today I practiced going mic, eb swing, footwork - it adds a little flare, however, again it's a workout in progress. Then tried doing the wrap sequence with my PVC since that is what I was working with for most of the night.

Day 225 - These 20 crosses in 20 seconds are going to be the death of me!!! They look good when I rewatch...maybe the rope is too long. I started using the beaded rope for my wraps, but gonna use the pvc for crosses today. I think the speed of the wrap combo is a little faster...tiny bit😂...but that TS wrap in the middle....grrrr! Practiced quite a bit of footwork too but nothing worthy of editing especially since Im editing the day after because I fell asleep trying to do it last night. Nothing like your own jumping to bore you to sleep😂😂😂

Day 224 - Had a wedding to attend today and getting ready was a busy day. So I planned on taking my ropes and jumping outside at some point as the venue was out in a country setting about an hour from home. Then someone said go get your ropes, and I changed my shoes and jumped inside the venue😂! Who even am I??? I only had 3 ropes with me, both my PVCs were adjusted for taller people and at one point there were 3 of us jumping rope!🥰. Then, if you knew me you'd know that I am quite reserved, introverted, and dont dance.; somehow my kids and step kids talked me into dancing. Did you know jump rope footwork works really really well without the rope for dancing (I ask sarcastically because most of you are aware)? Well, guess who used her jump rope footwork to dance...little old me🤪! I had so much fun. All the kids looked at me and said "so mom, this is you with zero alcohol?" And I was like "yup! Just water and soda!" I think I may have scored some cool mom points with them tonight! I mean one of them even picked up a rope and jumped with me❤️ IN PUBLIC!!! And for the record, the Bride came up to me and was super excited that I jumped rope at the reception. I jumped multiple times and some were better than others but these were the only two times I asked someone to video me so I could document my day for my JRC friends! This is almost 60, and I guess its true, as you get older, you just dont care what people think!😆

Day 223 - Oh soooo close today! 15 in 15 is my new PB. I feel like tomorrow will be the day! I wondered yesterday, and today I think I comfirmed it, the mat I jump on in the garage is not the right kind of mat for jumping on. When I switched to just the floor my session got a lot better. I am falling asleep typing, but wanted to get this posted. I have a busy weekend ahead ,but I have a lot of skills I want to practice too. Hoping I can find me time this weekend!

Day 222 - I'm still working on Bee's birthday challenge. My plan was not to only work this today, but then my daughter came out and was my cheerleader so I ended up only focusing on trying to get 20 crosses in 20 seconds. I didnt succeed tonight, BUT I did get up to 11 AND after being a mom earlier today and my daughter hating me, having her come out and hang and cheer me on, well that was just about the best thing that could happen today!❤️😁 Volume on to hear the almost 17 year old having a good old time!🥰

I also still worked on my 20 alternating crosses for Bee's birthday- got to 9 if I remember correctly....long way to go, but I'm up for the challenge!
