Yes, I said Hula Hoop.  Someone found a video and posted it in the wildcat forum weeks back.  I was thinking I want to try it as exercise and have a little fun at the same time.  Well, I refuse to spend more than $10 on one.  I have to be careful with my money these days.  I looked at Wal-Mart last night no luck.  I searched online this morning, they are outrageous.  I think the best price I founds was $24 plus shipping.  I think not. 

I may have struck out on the hula hoop, but not on the exercise ball.  I found one for $6 and did 100 crunches last night.  I love it.  I am looking forward to seeing results in the coming weeks.  I am trying to focus on my stomach, hips, and booty.  These areas are where I am carrying most of my weight.  I won’t be able to fit into a smaller size unless I spend some more time on these areas.  I would love to fit back into jeans again.  Come to think of it I have a pair of jeans in my closet I should be able to wear now. 

I saw some friends yesterday and today that I have not seen in 1 - 2 years.  They were all impressed with how great I look.  It is nice to hear that my efforts are noticeable, but I need to remember it’s the inner changes that I am most happy about.  Feeling comfortable in my own skin and finding my voice is by far more important than fitting into a smaller size.   Also knowing that I can do ANYTHING I set my mind to is empowering. 

So that all the good stuff, now for the bad.  One of my cousins has cancer.  Which scares the crap out of my cause  our mothers passed with 6 months of one another from cancer.  They had very similar medical histories and she is only 6 years older than I am.  I am fighting with a previous employer over my last pay check.  I demand that they pay me for the hours I worked, they are beginning to see my point of view.  Other than that it’s the same as any other day. 

I need to work on some new goals for the week. Along with pay bills, balance my checkbook, take out the trash, and find something to cook for dinner.  I love my life.  No really, I love it!  I enjoy all the day to day responsibilities along with having a fun and crazy time as often as possible.
