Jiggle

I have been a self-confessed exercise slacker over the last month. However, based on that fact that I am now noticing my rear end actually entering the room a fair bit after the rest of me, it is becoming increasingly appropriate to revisit my hiatus and anchor myself back into Pilates-land.

Not that I don't like Pilates. I absolutely love it and my body responds almost instantly to the DVD going into the machine ~ in almost Pavlovian fashion. But I go through these little rebellions about twice a year. I've learned that they are always short-lived, but do generally involve sour candy straws, Snickers Bars, and a stepped up relationship with the ever-fabulous Dr. Pepper. They are always enjoyable while they last, as it is not the fall that hurts us...it is the impact at the end of the fall.

Typically, these "rebellions" last about 5 gained pounds or one month, whichever occurs first. Then, I admit the error of my ways and embrace discipline again. Right about the time I begin receiving mail addressed to "Lachen's Thighs".

Yeah, that's always a good motivator.
