Dear Reader,
I can go on a ride with my husband and not even leave the station, because when he's sitting, his leg vibrates. Up and down, up and down, a perpetual flight that a hummingbird would be envious of. And soon, everything within close proximity picks up the beat and starts vibrating right along with him.
Whenever I've pointed out to my husband, that his leg motion is taking the entire row in the movie theater along for his jog, he's always defended himself saying it's his weight control mechanism. If he quilt jiggling his leg, he'd probably gain an extra 20 pounds. "Now you don't want that to happen, do you Suzanne?"
But I never believed a word of it until my husband had me listen to a report on the news. Apparently researchers at the Mayo Clinic are siding with my husband. They've determined that it's not only trips to the gym, but the everyday pacing and fidgeting that might help determine whether someone's fat or thin. If you fidget, sway, or pace back and forth enough during the year, you could trim off an extra 33 pounds. Or in my husband's case--he was grinning ear-to-ear, "I could trim off an extra 20 pounds!"
I hate it when he's right. I guess I better just learn how to sit back and enjoy the ride.
Thanks for reading with me. It's so good to read with friends.
