the last 2-3 days of this goal! Pooh! I have been feeling very low energy, I think because of my asthma flaring up.

Edit: But TOTALLY WORTH IT!! 10 months ago

I’m bummed I didn’t actually finish up the last days with hooping.
I do enjoy this goal though!

I did what I could!

Last night of the hooping challenge, I made it! Woooo-hoooo! It went great, and I’m so glad it’s over LOL. 30 days of continuos hooping, I cant believe I did it. I’m going to continue hooping, just not 30 minutes daily. Maybe just 15 minutes a day. 10 months ago

now that the weather is cooling down, I’ve decided to give me shoulder a rest. It’s quite painful at night and I am thinking that hooping will continue to aggravate it.

I do have a massage appointment for tomorrow so I may be back on board for tomorrow if that helps and will have just skipped today.

My flow is boring. I need more moves. My mood is blah.

Probably related to the heat as well as the shoulder pain, obviously.

So, after those things are remedied we will see. 10 months ago

I think we might be off…this is the 7th of July, and I’m already on Day 29? That would make the 8th day 30, and the 9th day 31…Hmmm! Maybe I’m off, but I think I’ve been counting fairly carefully.edit: oh, crikey, it’s me! I never posted Day 11 or 12!

OK, HARD TIME getting the hoop up to my chest again! Only did it twice out of several attempts. Lots of times up to my ribcage and no further. I don’t know why I had a period of time when it was so easy, and now it’s so hard again. I do think having an ample bosom is an added challenge. It’s like…if the hoop isn’t at just the right place in the orbit, my chest can’t get up and under the hoop to nudge it up. GAH! Frustrating.

But I had some good music to hoop to. Found some Nightmares on Wax and older OutKast thanks to kaleidoscopelady! The second NOW song I hooped to seemed to go on forever…then I checked and it was 40 minutes long, LOL! So I only hooped to 20 minutes of it before moving on to the next song, even though it was a good one to hoop to.

Hoop playlist for the night:

How Ya Doin’ – Nightmares on Wax
Now – Nightmares on Wax
Bombs Over Baghdad – OutKast
Da Art of Storytelling (remix) – OutKast
Family Affair – Mary J. Blige
Glamorous – Fergie w/Ludacris
Pump It – Black Eyed Peas

So I hooped about 45 minutes tonight. :-) 10 months ago

Yeah. Long string of days there with no hooping. But I am undefeated.

Hooped tonight (Day 28) to:

Hey Ya – OutKast
LaGrange – ZZ Top
Gone Daddy Gone – Gnarls Barkley
King of Swing – Big Daddy Voodoo
Knock on Wood – Eddie Floyd
Hold On I’m Coming – Sam and Dave

Hard time again getting it up to my chest, but I lassoed it once, so I fit something extra in! 10 months ago

I seem to have lost it.

It happens sometimes. Either my 32” has turned to jello or I’ve outgrown it in some manner. alternatively I need to grow into it again, and increase my speed.

At any rate…

Music is an issues. I was moved by some Tool last evening as well as some Lauryn Hill today.

I feel bored and lost and a little blue. I need some soul space. It’s been so freaking hot I haven’t been spending a lot of time in the hoop. 10 months ago

Evening hooping! (Still light out)
8 Songs!

Hooping on my little patio!
-JF 10 months ago

30 minutes done! One neighbor saw me from his patio. He looked like he was about 80 years old and he was wondering what kind of fun was going on nearby!
I went inside after about 10 minutes and hooped indoors to a pink floyd light show video. That along with looking out the window at fireworks was pretty fun!

For the 4th of July, we went out for dinner & for a hike up to “Inspiration Point”. We also spent some time visiting all of the horses hanging out around the park. I saw one deer just hanging around near some of the farm equipment. It was a lovely evening overall.
Back to work tomorrow at 7am! 10 months ago

Evening hooping! (Still light out)
6 more songs!
Total songs for the day 10! (Yay!)

Hooped on my little patio!
I just came back in with the worst leg cramp… (ouch)

I saw a firework during my last song!

I saw this picture & thought that it was pretty funny & I do love me some Ryan Gosling!

Earlier daytime hooping!
4 songs!

My feet hurt, either I’m out of practice or it’s because I don’t move around that much when I hoop.
I think I should practice moving around a little more anyway!

I can’t believe how long it’s been since I last hooped.
I will try to hoop a little more later!

after the munchkins went to bed I hooped some indoors.

I played with a variety of hoops. I am itching for another variety but I haven’t narrowed it down exactly and want to make a good decision.

I wasn’t terribly inspired. I need some new music. Something different.

It’s so hot I always feel sweaty and gross. 10 months ago

Nearly 25 minutes! We are going to bed extra early tonight (9:30) to work at 7am tomorrow, eek!
Anyway, I hooped while watching a woman make healthy raw snacks. After that I decided to make a raw carrot soup in my vitamix. It was spontaneous and contains many veggies that I needed to use! It tasted good but I hope my stomach can handle it! :)
I need to eat carrots every day so that I never need glasses!!! 10 months ago

Keep forgetting to post here about my hooping LOL, the past few days have been OK. I’‘ve been dropping the hoop about 4 times during a 30 minutes session, which isn’t too bad. My goal of course is to keep it up the whole 30 minutes. 10 months ago

Hooped tonight to this interview about “low carb diets”: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/amyalkon/2012/07/02/advice-goddess-radio-amy-alkon
Lots of second current work.
My “pocket” travel hoop arrived today, I’ll open the package in the morning! 10 months ago

though I did some drunk hooping with S last night…I was drunk, not her.

It was alright. I felt weird with all the guests around..and I was to the clumsy drunk point so I didn’t hoop long, it was a bit frustrating. 10 months ago

First off I got mad because it’s too hot for this ish! I whined about that for a while. That segued into a self-pitying rant of me whining about being so fat, hooping all the while. I was going to listen to music tonight while hooping but instead I watched part of The Ed Show and then part of Rachel Maddow. That made me feel somewhat better. Finally it was over! That was the longest half hour of my life! 10 months ago

I had better luck getting the hoop on my chest tonight. It was hard again at first, but James Brown nudged it up there.

SWEATY. Sorry, I know I always post that, but I do love when I’m sweating, it means I’m getting good exercise! LOL!

Hooped to:

Boom Boom Pow – Black Eyed Peas
Get Ur Freak On – Missy Elliot
Sexy Back – Justin Timberlake
Groove is in the Heart – DeeeLite
Working Day and Night – Michael Jackson
Sex Machine – James Brown (my favorite of the night)
Gonna Make You Sweat – C+C Music Factory

Oh, please hoop with us! If you like to dance, you will have fun!! 10 months ago

Missed 19. Last night I did my 30 to Michael Jackson videos because they are each about 10 minutes long! I worked on the 2nd current a bit! I feel more balanced about my hooping now. 10 months ago
