This post is from Missy!
I was formerly very athletic and I tend to build muscle mass very quickly, so I am afraid to exercise fer real yet! Whenever I start a new exercise program, my appetite skyrockets and I gain or stay steady for weeks as the muscles increase no matter what I eat, or don’t eat.
But I do need to develop a habit of being more active. I know some may not consider this exercise, but my plan this week has been to limit my computer time (gasp!), get off my toosh and finish some household projects. I have tried to maintain at least 2 hours of activity before I will reward myself with checkin emails and blogging. Ironically, a day into it, my modem fails and I have very little access to the internet! I work from home, too, so that has been tough.
Good news is, mission accomplished thus far. I finished painting my living room a lovely shade of blue in time for delivery of my Christmas/Anniversary/Valentine’s gift of new furniture, shopped for supplies and made custom drapes and pillows, did some daily cardio-tidying, shoveled snow and chipped away at ice on the deck and front walk to save my hubby the labor, and cleared one countertop of debri. I also organized my tiny pantry and a child’s closet! I met my goals AND I got something to show for it AND I know Mr. Right is happy with that. Me, too.
Sounds like good exercise to me, and the sort of thing I need to do - I have lots of sorting I must get done at some point, and that’s the problem - ’some time’ somehow becomes never!

I should exercise by doing housework! Then I’d get my exercise in and a clean house! Lady Laura does this all the time. It just sounds smart!

Blest turned me on to “Pandora” and I am setting up my own personal “Cardio-Cleaning” station. I pick up my pace and dance while I work (only when I am home alone!). It is fun and at the end of the day I feel like I have accomplished some stuff - it’s a real booster. BUT - I think I need curtains on a few more window! My neighbors must think I am crazy.
