Weigh In Non-Result

Weigh in last night. I honestly could not believe my eyes when I looked down at the scales. I lost 1 and 1/2 lbs this week. "Hurrah" I hear you say? Well, not exactly ... I put on 1 and 1/2 lbs last week so that makes me 11st 2 and 1/4 lbs again. It's almost a non-result. That's 7 weigh ins since I first hit that weight and I just can't seem to get under it.

Alas, I shan't be disheartened by those pesky stubborn scales that seem to refuse to change. I'm back in the habit with my food now ... weetabix for breakfast, fruit salad and yoghurt for lunch and a sensible dinner plus a decent amount of exercise. My hoop has also arrived (!) so I have no excuse for being a couch potato.

I'm pleased with my purchase. The hoop comes in six sections that click together so it can easily be dismantled for storage. The sections also mean it is adjustable so it can be a heavier 40 inch hoop for beginners like moi, or 36 inches for more advanced users who want a faster hula. I put the DVD on and it looks pretty interesting but I didn't follow it properly as I was just trying to get to grips with keeping the thing up! The new size and weight took a little getting used to but I picked it up and hula'd for almost two entire episodes of the Simpsons. I shall probably have a go at the exercise routine tomorrow. Also, unlike the ones at class this hoop is foam covered which means less bruises ... BONUS!
