All That Jiggles

Don't know when it happened, but I noticed that I jiggled.  Not the normal jiggle that we all have.  I mean, the does-anyone-see-that? jiggle.


I can't help but blame Wichita for my increase in alcohol consumption which lead to my sweet potato fries consumption increase,  which has, I'm sure, added to my weight increase.  Although, I'm not above blaming the earthquake for that.


So, fortified with SoCal weather, I girded the girls in a jog bra, strapped on the iPod, dug the iFit into my sneaker and headed to the park. Of course, this had to be the little league day from hell when all the parents on cell phones, grandparents on walkers, and dogs on leashes were out.  That's ok.  It all adds to the workout, right?  Who wants to just run in the park, looking at birds and listening to an updated workout playlist?  Don't knock grandma over, don't run into Mom yelling into the phone, and don't trip over fido's leash that's stretched across the width of the jog path.   You burn more calories.  Really.  Right?


Did I mention that it was also churro / hotdog / kettle corn day at the park?  Aw come on!!!


I did pretty well today despite the above. I ran an extra mile although my iFit seems to have forgotten this fact...  


I have to admit, having the right playlist makes all the difference.  I decided to update it last night and am totally stoked I did! Who can't kick ass to Joan Jett??  She is a badass and makes you feel like a badass while you listen to her. I'm sure I almost looked like a badass.


Early Michael Jackson doesn't hurt, mixed in with some Bee Gees: who can't run to "Jive Talkin"?  Disco folks.  Disco is key to shakin' your ass.  Shake Shake Shake your booty.  You know it.


Finally, having the right song for your POWER song is huge:  today I switched things up to "Dog Days Are Over" by Florence and the Machines.   There's NO way you can't power that last lap around the park with your arms in the air Rocky style with that in your ears.  Not that I did the arm thing, but I thought about it.


After the park, I came home, closed the blinds and danced around with my weights.  People do that, don't they?


SONGS OF THE DAY:
Bits and Pieces - Joan Jett
Touch - Joan Jett
Dog Days are Over - Florence and the Machines
Working Day and Night - Michael Jackson
Jive Talking - Bee Gees


Speaking of jiggles, I bought a shake weight.  What?  Is that wrong?  Shake Shake Shake...
