Day 20
Spent a couple hours at the Whole Health Expo. It was smaller than I was expecting, but many interesting booths. I came home with a bag FULL of things to read. I did buy myself a gorgeous necklace, I had a hand treatment, and bought a hula hoop. Yup….. I really enjoyed chatting with the woman who makes them. Then I tried one. I had sooo much fun, couldnt leave without one. It’s funny, I loved it as a child and was actually very good. Well, those are days to strive for again, cause was I any good??? Not so much. Oh, I also bought a salt stone lamp. I have been looking for one- and for $22.00- Scooped it up!Food wise today has been minimal. I am figuring out, if I stay busy, I am less likely to feel hungry. It’s more likely, being busy takes my mind off food, as this seemed tough last week. I hoola’d a little when I got home, and started to flip thru some of the literature I got from the expo. Will be doing my yoga dvd tomorrow, and I am aiming for Mon/Wed/Fri for my yoga days for now. I found with this extra weight, I am very unbalanced. I definitely feel my range of motion increasing. OH, and my DH made a comment yesterday after a big hug, that I felt smaller. YEAH! Back to the hula hoop- if you have children, this is a great activity to share with them. There is something very relaxing- maybe the rhythmic movement- It’s exercise, and it’s fun. Ladies, I dont know about you, but my hips dont move like they use to. lol I think I am going to attempt to make my children their own. I found a website that gives detailed instructions on how. http://www.jasonunbound.com/hoops.htmlHave a great day!
I never could hula hoop. My mother, who is 59, can hula hoop better than any 6 year old I’ve ever seen! It’s so funny to me, since no matter how many times I’ve tried, I can’t keep it going! That sounds like a fun little exercise toy, though!!
It sounds like you had a good time today! And how nice that your DH said you feel smaller.
I’ll be excited when my husband has something like that to say about me! Soon enough!
I spent my day shopping for “workout clothes.” I got me a few pairs of pants, and a couple of shirts, so now I will be more likely to workout because I’ll have some cute stuff to wear while doing it! I have decided that I WILL NOT buy myself any new clothes until I lose a significant amount of weight because I KNOW I will outgrow them in no time!
I’m glad to hear you had a nice day. I hope you have a nice evening, and I’ll be checking back with you tomorrow!
Until then,
Robyn
ahhh to be (feel) young again. A hoola hoop is just the trick. We used to do the motion in water aerobics but with out the hoop it just isn’t as fun
Sandy,
It sounds like you had a fun day, I am glad to hear that. I find that when I am busy that I forget to eat lately lol. anyways its late and I had a full day myself so I will keep this comment short. keep up the good work.
As Ever

Cool! I bet the hand treatment felt divine. Hey! You could have a group All-In-One session/class that does visucalization, affirmation, and hand treatments. You could pair everyone up and each could do the other’s hands. Only takes a few minutes each, to make a huge difference. I’d go to a class like that, jsut for the hand massage !
What is a Salt Stone Lamp?
Great you’re staying busy and chasing carrots …aka…squirrels
anyway, you’re lucky you have one that speaks up in a positive way about those things.
So sweet your DH notices. That helps a lot. One time I lost 10 pounds (and that’s a lot on my small frame) and DH never said anything, says he didn’t notice, which maybe means also he never noticed i gained 10?)
I want to make a hula hoop! Will you post the directions on your blog?
