Day 3: Hooping for another 100 days! DIET and EXERCISE

I'm off again! This time I really just wanted to hoop for 30 minutes a day again. I have been more "go with the flow" this time, and its working wonders. I've made up a few moves that look cool that incorporate a vertical knee stop on my right leg, then I grab the hoop with my left hand to swing it around my thumb behind my back while I drop down, then I grab the hoop with my right hand and stop it on my left knee then reverse the above move over and over. It looks pretty awesome - would look better if I had flippy-long hair then I could go all the way down and back up with a trail of hair!!

My overall flow is much better after just 3 days. Maybe its the radio - but whatever it is I think having music to jam to and time/space to do it is a MAJOR factor.

I haven't figured out which day will by me "off" day yet. I think Sunday since I will be working for my mum this weekend. And a general break day is always needed - especially for a 100 day excursion like this.


As for my diet: I will be utilizing the 1-2-3-3 method (I just made it up but I'm sure something exists!)

1 whole gluten-free grains (1 GF toast/ 1/2 C rice / 1/2 GF pizza crust)
2 fruits (anything that can be in one handful except dried fruits)
3 proteins (3oz. LEAN meat / 2 eggs / 1/2 C beans / 1 oz. beef jerky / 1/2 C nuts/seeds)
3 vegetables (1/2 C any UNCOOKED or LIGHTLY STEAMED veggie, 2 C greens)

Unlimited black coffee/tea (stevia english toffee sweet drops, no creamer)
Beyond Tangy Tangerine (or similar vitamin powder with water)
EFAs
1/2 your body weight in ounces of water

NO artificual colors/flavors/ sweeteners/anything
NO dairy/gluten/fatty meats

So with this diet and hooping for 100 days we'll see where it lands me!

Starting weight: 155
Goal weight: I don't care, haha... I just want to feel more healthy/strong

Let's hoop!

Day 9: Rocking out

So today was another leg day, but I was a little disappointed in my inability to do the thigh trick by Babz. I don't think there is enough area between my thighs to even grab the hoop, let alone spin it on my thighs (a feat in its own.) I am going to trade that move for another.

I have got that foot pass almost NAILED! I just need to remember to fully bend my knee to grab the hoop. The back-spinning hoop to one legged hooping won't work for me. I like to keep my hoops pretty and realized I don't want to backspin them. I hoop outside on the dirt and the cement, both are not very nice to gaffers tape! So no more of that move either.

Instead I am doing knee breaks from elbow hooping and one-legged hooping. One legged hooping should evolve into hooping on my arms (one vertical, one horizontal) and my legs (ditto). I need to get started adding hoops to do some multis.

I was thinking of hooping again tomorrow but not until my homework is finished! I had a blast of customers today and I gotta finish up my hoopmaking. I made 4 of 12 already. Not too difficult, I love making them really so the time flies. I will probably even have time to hoop after I mail them ^_^
