Scorpion Flip

So I didn't get on a machine last night but I did some things to at least work off a few calories. 

While waiting for him to get home I decided just to do a few little things.  During a commercial break I went to look for the jump rope but couldn't find it.  So I just did it without the rope.  I tried to do it for the rest of the break but into the 3rd commercial I couldn't do it anymore, my calves were killing me.  So the next commercial break I went up and down our stairs 6 times (each way).  Then grabbed the small medicine ball and did different lifts and things with it.  Then I grabbed the red stretch band and did different things with it.  Of course doing those took me into the regular tv show.

By the time I was done I was pretty tired and definitely had worked up my heart rate.  But I did my usual and ended up sitting down to catch my breath and didn't get back up.  Which is why I actually prefer the machines, I can make myself continue doing them better than when I'm just free wheeling it.

I did bake chicken and tots for dinner.  But it was under 500 calories in all so I don't feel so bad for doing so.  I took a couple chicken breasts out to thaw last night as well.  This morning they were still mostly frozen but hopefully by this evening they'll be thaw. 

We watched a couple biggest losers that we're behind on and during one of them Bob showed a new thing he created called the scorpion flip.  We tried it out, sure looked easier than it really is when Bob did it.  And after just doing one of them we were both breathing hard.  And neither of us did it properly so I said we need to do it once every day until we can do it cleanly and then the next day do two then so on and so on.
