So I took Thursday and Friday off because I was inducted into the colonoscopy club….WELCOME TO 50!  Yesterday I was struggling with not working out because I had two days off.  I was thinking I would run after I went grocery shopping and that was the plan in my head.  The problem was that I went out into the yard and began gardening.  I started at 8:00 and worked and worked and worked weeding my large garden out front.  It spans the corner of my yard by the street in an arc shape and is about 25 feet long.  It takes the longest to weed because it’so big. I finished weeding around 3:30, shopped then made dinner then finished off by mulching half of the garden.  All the while as I weeded and mulched I was disappointed because I hadn’t run or worked out.  As I was hoofing one bag of mulch after another totaling 25 bags at 20 lbs it occurred to me that I actually did have a hick workout.  I lifted 20 lb bags of mulch which engaged my core and arms, stepped up with each one & farmer carried it across the yard.  I had to have done 200 squats or more throughout the entire day as I weeded and moved.  Lifting the bags also engaged my back muscles.  I did all of this for 8 hours then another hour and a half when I laid the mulch.  That’s a lot of working out for not working out.  That was really sneaky how that workout just slipped in when I wasn’t paying attention!  So today I can feel my workout from yesterday which means I did actually work those muscles which means that I don’t have to feel like I have to run today because after all I’m supposed to be taking it easy.  I feel great and very productive.  I guess it’s all in how you look at it right?  Good job self!
