Blog 7 - Hula hooping!




Challenge 38 - Hula Hoop!

 Yes my hula hoop arrived so I thought I may as well give Challenge 38 a go! Previously I have tried to keep a hula hoop up, but mainly using a child's small hoop and have failed miserably! So, I bought an adult weighted hoop and although there were a few very rubbish attempts and my technique looks more like a weird cowgirl jolting around rather than a sexy and sultry technique that you see most hula hooping ladies do, I managed to complete 40 revolutions... just! As it was a slightly easier challenge than I expected I will try and get my mate Jo to complete the 40 too! At least I now have a new hobby and can try and make my technique a little bit less strange!

Other progress on the other challenges... no word from the game shows (Challenge 30), I attended an interview for a new volunteer job (Challenge 12) and got the job so will be starting training at the end of October. I have also registered with the Blood Donor Wales and have made an appointment in October to give blood. (Challenge 25) I know it seems a relatively simple challenge again however I tried multiple times last year to give blood but they always turned me away as they were too busy or I was under the weather. So this time I have made an actual appointment.

I have also done my 40 sit ups every day (Challenge 6), lost half a stone in weight (Challenge 26), on my 7th reading book (Challenge 11), had 5 date nights with the hubby (Challenge 14), visited 7 pubs (Challenge 17), listened to countless CDs (Challenge 36) and committed 5 acts of random kindness to strangers (Challenge 28).

I have spent some time planning out some of the challenges and spacing them out throughout the year. Next month, I'm going to try and tackle swimming 40 lengths, turning my phone off for 40 hours and finishing off the kindness acts.

But for now enjoy proof of my ridiculously unsexy hula hooping!!
