NO TITLE
A lot of students have told me that when they stop hooping they can see their body change back a little. I haven't hooped since the last class and already feel sluggish even though it's only been a little over a week.
I refuse to weigh or measure in right now as I have decided for the moment to just "be". Honestly, I don't want to get discouraged if a little bit of weight returned already. It's really difficult dealing with a soft belly post partum... especially when I had abs that I had never had before. I looked in the full-length mirror yesterday. It's hard looking at a scar and a soft belly and wondering if my bottom will ever tone again. I can tell, without getting on the scale that things are still adjusting back somewhat... just not fast enough for me! I still cannot fit in my pants or skirts for that matter. But I refuse to buy new clothes. And I absoutely refuse to do sit ups. I hate sit ups. Once I found the hoop, I gave up sit-ups for life!
I am working hard to remain patient with the process while really wishing and hoping it would go faster! My flow is still not there. I feel stiff and uncomfortable in my body. I miss performing when I felt so secure. Now I get nervous when I have to hoop in front of others. My balance is still off. I know I am on an upward path, but how long does it take? Am I being unrealistic? I get frustrated right now because there is no time to hoop outside of class for me right now. Henrietta's 3-month old schedule just will not allow ANY solid time for me. And I must say, it's really difficult to hoop holding a baby! How do new moms balance time for them when everything around them screams (literally) otherwise?
