Default Haven't been doing exercise per se

okay so hearound and catch lightre is the deal. I've moved up the owl rung to the first rung after induction because I've been so busy I haven't had time to get to the gym. From the moment I get up in the morning till I go to bed I'm shoveling, lifting heavy objects, bending over to pull weeds and pick berries, and moving wheel barrows (with flat tires) filled with dirt. So although I haven't been getting to the gym I've been busting my butt. No offense to the men out there but I was getting tired of waiting for men to show up and do what they say they are going to do so I did it myself with my power tools. I enclosed the bottomw of my porch with the lattice work, built the railing, mowed the grass front and back, moved heavy stones without the wheel barrow, cleaned up after the dogs, trimmed trees, pullled weeds and built a cement walkway from my porch to the driveway. And on a side note I took time after the sun went down to run around catching lightning bugs with my daughter. Today we are going to the berry farm to pick 30 quarts of strawberries for jam then we are going to the lake for some swimming time!

I love this way of eating. Before now I wouldn't have the energy to do all this stuff. Now I go to sleep at night content that I've achieved something during the day and I sleep better than ever and wake up refreshed ready to tackle the next day.

So although I'm not making it to the gym as often as I'd like I'm technically working out more than I ever was.
