Hopping thru Helen and some Stations

Well, I got to experience my first Jumping Helen on Saturday.
200 jumprope/21 Kb swings 16kg/12 pullups 3 rounds for time.

I must say, I kind of liked this Helen. Timewise, it was definitely a bit faster than running Helen, and I didn't have to stop and gasp for air quite as often. I completed this one in...13:27, if I remember correctly - it was about a minute faster than I can do the running version. The good news, I was able to keep up with the boys on this one, a rarity on these timed things. Of course, it would be more impressive if I could actually do a real pullup, rather than having to strap myself into the bands.

Today was stations 2 - 4 rounds - 1 minute at each, 1 minute rest between rounds.
Situps - I started here, and this was my big score getter.
Wallball 16 - round 1, these actually weren't bad...next rounds, they definitely got harder (shocking, I know!)
Pullups - Red bands, but last time I did this one I was still in the big Blues.
Slamball - 16
Box jump - 16 inch box

Round wise, I got 91, 96, 85, 84 for a total of 356. Definite improvement in average score per round. Last time, I scored 228 in 3 rounds, so average of 76. This time my average score for 4 rounds was 89. So....YAY improvement!!!

Now for a small feat - I started the food/workout log today - the same day that 5 people brought in all of their leftover cookies and crap. Tempted though I was - I did not want to write down "I ate a cookie" - so I stayed away, fought temptation and succeeded!! Phew...it's the little things!
