Shape Up For Summer Progress {20.6.14}

Hola Sparkly1s

It's Fitness Friday and time for another catch up with my Shape Up For Summer.  As I'm writing this I'm feeling bummed about it all.  I've just taken my measurements and weighed myself.

Weight - 159lbs   {-1lbs}

Waist - 36inches {same}

Hips - 42.75inches {same}

Bust - 35inches {same}

 

You see why I'm feeling bummed now.  I feel very demotivated.  Realistically I know what the problem is.  I'm not exercising enough.  I'm still loving my hooping.  I'm hooping pretty much every day for around 20 minutes but I need to step it up a notch now.  I need to challenge myself.  20 minutes non-stop hula hooping comes easy to me now so I've been looking more and more into hoop dancing and definitely feel like I want to give it a go.  It looks like a MAJOR workout! 

 

Hooping really is so much fun.  I wasn't sure if I could use the hoop I have though.  It's quite chunky and heavy so I thought I would need a 'dance hoop' as opposed to a 'fitness hoop.'  This helped me out into deciding I need a lighter hoop to dance with.

I know that this is my wobble AND the time when I could easily give up.  I also know it's the time when, because I'm not seeing results quick enough, I start doing silly things like missing meals.  I've been eating really healthy for the past few weeks and I've been enjoying the freshness of my home cooked meals.  I definitely feel like the amount of carbs in my diet were making me feel sluggish, bloated and generally just bleh.

 

Anyone got any advice for when things aren't going as you'd like?  I'm determined not to give up.
