Did 20 minutes of hooping this morning and had to quit I will try to do it 2 more times today - I'm trying to work up to an hour in a day ideally 30 and 30 for now - and I stop and try the smaller hoop too which makes me have to work harder and faster still can't do long on it but now at least I can do some with it -- and on the bigger hoop I'm getting much better at going in both directions. Maybe I will make a smaller hoop and put some rice in it so it is weighted ... That might make it harder than the big hoop but easier than my pretty bought hoop ..
Done done done with Jury duty for 6 years hooray! Will get a check for $80 which right now should fill my car with gas - and since it used just over a quarter of a tank for the two days I guess I'm ahead of the game ..
Haven't weighed this week - have eaten more than normal (all OP just more and less than 20 carbs just more volume) and I'm drinking tons and tons of water and putting lots of salt on my food because of the heat .. and my routine was messed up enough with the jury duty that I haven't gone to the bathroom - tmi I know but it will mean I weigh more lol. ... Next week I get blood work done and see cardiologist on Friday - should be off BP meds completely by then .. Am down to the lowest dose possible and BP is averaging 100/65 sometimes 103/65 once 97/65 I felt kinda blah at that one though ... I sooo wanted to be below 200 by doctor visit and I will be close but I don't think I will make it - my body has slowed down the last few months to a crawl - I know intellectually that it needs a set point after losing so much but I was really hoping it wouldn't happen till about 189 so I was working on the numbers after 100 lost. 191.3 will be 100 gone and I am so excited for it to get here - dang it .. I'm sure it will take till September at least ..
How is everyone in the heat making out ... Sort of envious of you all in winter zones right now ... My living room with all the fans going is 90 and it's only 10:30 in the morning ...
wow! Almost 100 pounds lost? Awesome! What is this hoop? A hula hoop? I never could do that lol.... I'm ready to hit onederland myself. I know we can do this with Atkins

oops sorry
I have about 80 to lose so I feel your pain. It shouldn't be too hard doing Atkins though
Surviving breast cancer is a big deal! You can accomplish anything now

I've seen your name before I think? Have you been on this Atkins board before? I bet your knees will be happy to get the weight off. You can do this
