I get to the gym yesterday and start to unpack all the stuff I need, water bottle, HRM chest strap, MP3 player, take off shoes and socks open gym bag and take sneaker outs then NO CLOTHES!!! I forgot to puy my gym clothes in my bag…I knew I picked them up the nite before but I set them down to get my work clothes and never picked them back up.  Of course I wasn’t my anal self and neglected to re-check my bag before going to bed that nite…I SWEAR I PUT THEM IN THERE.  Okay, no gym time for me and DH was down in the Sauna so I sat there watching everyone else for an hour.

But all was not lost…we had wood delivered yesterday and it had to be taken off the trailer and stacked in the garage - 3 CORDS OF WOOD TAKEN OFF THE TRAILER, CARRIED INTO THE GARAGE AND STACKED….YEAH BABY THAT’S MY TYPE OF WOROUT.  We got 2 cord of bigger logs and 1 cord of 1-2 inch diamater littler logs for starter wood…there were a lot the littler logs cuz it takes more to make up the cord.  I had a blast doing it…plugged in my MP3 player and went to town carrying 3-4 big logs at a time like it was nothing   …of what joy physical work like brings me… I sit at a desk all day at work and hate it. I love functional training..was dancing around in between and DH almost peed himself a few times laughing so hard.  The wood was on a hay trailer so when most of the wood was done it became my stage..hey, gotta have some fun while doing this kind of work.  

But I do know that 2 years ago I would not have lasted anywhere an hour doing this.  I know this because we did this 2 years ago and I was dying after like 5 or 10 min.  This time is was an hour and DH sent me in the house as it was 10 at nite and I stilll had to get my stuff ready for the next day. 

I even used my HRM so in 67 min I burned 244 calories, got in a good full body strength session carrying logs and had fun, fun, fun doing it. 

Too bad my camera batteries were dead…I wanted to take a pic for a visual of what this trailer and wood looked like.
