Hula hoopin' myself slim

A few years ago my mom was working out at Curves. While working out there she was introduced to a 3 pound or so hula hoop! She bought me one and I loved it! I used it but when I got pregnant it made its way to the storage shed. I am happy to report that it is out of storage and being used once again! I love this thing. You can order them here and its a great little work out for your waist. 10 minutes in the morning and 10 minutes at night and there you have it! I suggest cutting it by half the first week or so and building up to the 10 minutes. Yes 10 minutes doesn't seem like much but it does give your waist a work out and you will be a little sore in that area (believe me) :) This morning I measured myself and I'm just going to put it out there...33 inches is my starting weight and periodically I'll be sharing what it is when my waist is going down. No I don't believe I'm fat, I think I am average but I would like to firm up a bit!! Who wouldn't, right? Has anyone ever heard of this before???

Getting Active!

Running shoes...check! Work out clothes...check! Treadmill in the spare bedroom...check! Motivation...uh....Everything is there for me to work out but the motivation! What's the deal? Back in high school I loved to run and work out but ever since then I hate it! Yes time has changed...6 years, marriage, a kid! But that's no excuse I'm pretty much just lazy AND I do love me some chocolate! I love to go out for walks and I should get out more often, but it never fails, something always comes in the way and I don't get out. So in light of being lazy, I'm making new goals for myself! I am going to become a more active person and I'm going to get back in shape! I'm going to switch it up and maybe to TaeBoe one day and a walk another. Nothing too extreme and maybe I'll get back in the swing of things and like it again! So now I want to know, am I the only one with this problem or are there others like me!?!
