Wiggle, Jiggle, and ride-up

No, I didn’t fall off the face of the earth nor did I give up on my journey. I did however have a cohort accompanying me for the past few days which made it impossible for me to have the desire to get up and do anything. I still found the strength to do a little Hip Hop Abs on Saturday and as usual I took Sunday as my day of rest. Tuesday I just did some resistance training, upper and lower body because we are under an extreme heat warning, and they advised against working and exercising outdoors until today at 7pm. Yesterday coming back from Kroger at 4:50 it was still over 100 degrees outside and at almost 8pm it was still about 95 degrees. Monday was a nice day so I decided to make that my first day to really do 4 miles for my walk/run. It was going well, however when I started to run I felt some drag behind me. That is when I realized that in spite of the fact that I have lost 30 lbs my butt still wiggles when I run. I don’t think I noticed it before because so much other stuff was wiggling as well.  Running with a wiggly butt is like running dragging someone behind you that is holding on to both of your cheeks. I usually walk after I run and as I walk I try to keep up a good pace, like marathon power walking, arms pumping, stomach sucked in, and legs moving as fast as I can. I don’t know if it was because I had just started to notice the wiggle but all of a sudden the jiggle of my thighs became very evident to me. I normally ware yoga pants when I work out and maybe I get better support in those pants, but I wore some basketball shorts instead on Monday. (I needed to wash) Well anyone who has thick thighs know that certain types of shorts are not for us. I was power walking along listening to my Donald Lawrence Pandora station when my shorts started dancing to the music also but instead of moving side to side they were riding up the center of my thighs. I hate having to pull my shorts down every ½ mile or so, I felt like that guy on the commercial, “I’m tired of my thighs rubbing together” So from now until I get to 138 I will be sticking to my yoga pants, hopefully that will cut down on the wiggle, the jiggle, and the riding up.
