O, The Humiliation of Being Me
Okay, okay.
I am embarrassed to show y'all this video of me hula hooping but you guys demanded it and, well, apparently I have no pride. And also, no life.

I should explain to you all (because I know it's not readily apparent) that I am still dieting and I am exercising. I've been trying really hard since March 6th and so far, I've lost a whopping seven whole pounds. Which I had to beat off of my body with a crow bar. If I'd shown the kind of discipline I've had for the past two months at any other time in my life, I could have RULED THE WORLD. I hate my metabolism in my forties. (Should it even exist, which I doubt.)
And here is my daughter Jane (8) showing us all how it's REALLY done. (She wanted to put this on her OWN blog but I am sneaking it in here so that the last visual you have in your brain is not of me hula-hooping, especially if you're going out to dinner or something.

THANK YOU!
They must get it from their mother.
Alas, it is a skill I lack.
Every year, at the gym at work (excellent place for a gym) they have a competition (a.k.a. incentive program). One of the challenges is hula hoop. Most people last 2 or 3 seconds. I think I'm up to 2 minutes - after years of once-a-year practice.
There's two women who have a face off - every year. Over an hour. 60 min of hula hooping. Its insane. (And wildly popular.)
All for a $25 dollar gift certificate to some big store.
I can't do it at all.
