So I finally caved in and made my first impulse purchase of 2010 - a hula hoop.
Having once had an incredible core - I figured that I would soon get into the swing of things and be working that hoop like Shakira. Well her hips may not lie - but mines certainly do. I cannot for the life of me get this thing to stay around my waste. Given the vast expanse of fat I have sitting around that area - you think I would have no trouble balancing this little hempisphere on my rather wide galaxy. Alas.... I stood there in my garden with the neighbours suspiciously eyeing me out from the corners of their windows no doubt wondering which circus I was unceremoniously booted out of.
I tried to imagine I was using my hips for ...ahem....something a bit more fun but just as rhythmical - but not even that could help my atrocious hip/balance co-ordination.
After twenty minutes of attempts I gave up - and I convinced myself that since I could keep the hoop afloat on my neck - it was only a matter of time before I remastered the art of shaking my hips.
To make myself feel better I baked a batch of nutella cupcakes and consoled myself with the fact that you cant be an extraordinary baker and shaker in one lifetime....Thats just being greedy!

hee hee!
I didn't think so, don't worry.
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
When we were studying my SSK and I bought ourselves some hula hoops for the self same reason - needless to say, what easy when you are 10 aint so easy anymore! It was about 2am (should have known better) in the parking lot of our flats. WOW the tannie from the first floor, who looked a lot like the pic in your post gave us several different shades of Hell! good times! Last year I gave the new but virtually unused hoop to some child who actually had a hope in hell of using it!
You better have mastered those Nutella cupcakes by the time I'm home. I'll let you show me your hula skills while I judge your cupcakes.. That's how good a friend I am. I may even let you lick my fingers...
I read your comments on another blog, and wow they really struck me. I agree no one would wish to be in to endure this kind of conflict, but I guess it is journey to live and to resolve, I am finding it all especially hard, I wish I had opened my eyes to it when I was younger.
Wishing you the best of luck, I look forward to reading more of your blog.

Sounds like a blast! Im glad im not the only one with this brilliant idea to lose weight. I am still hopeful that I will remaster this art! I figure that the amount of calories I burn everytime I pick up the hoop has got to count for something!!! Well we will see with the weigh in this Saturday!
