Mine came on Saturday. I got lemon flavor, as I am not a huge fan of fruit punch in general, but I should have gotten 2 of fruit punch and 2 of the lemon because the lemon tastes an awful lot like TheraFlu. I'm sure I'll get used to it and it's certainly not the worst tasting thing I've experienced, but I can't say I'm loving it. 😂

Oh goodness!  Definitely listen to your body!

When I was doing JRD90, I had a slowly healing torn rotator cuff - I was able to do pushups within reason, but I absolutely could NOT do pullups or chinups.  So, I looked for alternatives - in my case, I did single arm rows with dumbells.  I still got a good workout without further damaging my shoulder or impeding its healing.  Maybe you could find something like that - an safe alternative exercise - for your pec muscle?

It would definitely be a good idea to have some kind of mat.  The concrete will wear down your ropes (which, as you know, are not cheap).  I jump in my garage, too.  Until I had the money to get an actual jump rope mat, I just got a workout mat that was close.  You can find some on Amazon that are pretty affordable.

Great job!  But now I'm not looking forward to Day 5... ;)

Well done!  It's a great feeling, isn't it?  I remember how I felt when I finished JRD90.  It was an amazing feeling!  Great job for sticking with it to the end!  You should be proud of yourself!

Thanks for the support, guys!  If it had been just rain, it would have been no issue...but it was LIGHTENING and that just was not safe.  One day, I'll have a house where I have a space to workout INSIDE of it and this kind of thing won't be an issue. ;)

Well done!  I'll be doing Day 4 after work today.  I'm the reverse of you - today is a 12 hour day for me and I'll be doing it after.  Something to look forward to? ;)

I don't generally workout before work because I already have to be at my job really early in the morning.  After work actually works better for me.
