Hmmm..My bathroom and bedroom (mostly just for show, and my closet full of clothes LOL) is upstairs, so I try to make as many trips up there as I can in a day.

I try to play circus and wrestling with my kids. I give leg and arm rides to the younger three and, man, I'm begging for mercy by the time we're done!

I gotta be honest, I'd rather just get my exercise at the gym. I hate housecleaning and gardening, so I pay someone to clean my house and my SO pretty much does all the yardwork. I do some form of exercise for one hour every day, but it's running or swimming or at the gym. I can't think of anything else I do that would amount to much in terms of calories. I suppose maybe my weekly grocery shopping, since it entails going to a mininum of three different stores (and sometimes four or five) and takes a couple of hours.

Last summer i cut my grass ALOT...that was one of my was of getting excersize. This year though i go to gym classes. But yeah...i lost a pound by skipping about 3 days of excersizing. Actually...it was just I finally gave my muscles a chance to heal and get rid of all the excess fluids in them. But it is soooo good to see 155.5 as my high weight for the day instead of my beginning weight in the morning!!

LOL Some of just what you did. I've been painting our fence, in stages. I gotta work during a 2 hour leeway when my son takes his nap. While hubby's home though, I can sometimes get more done. So today, during hubby being here and naptime, I spent more than 3 hours outside hauling scrap lumber from the torn down fence into the burning pile, cutting honeysuckle away from the bushes, weed eating along the fence (until the weedeater started smoking...ooops), and helping hubby to pull (using a rock and lever with chain) 10 fence posts out of the ground. One even stuck in concrete and some of the concrete came up with it. I'm ready for a nice loooooooooooong hot soak in the tub tonight.

Many days I'll take a 5+ mile walk with my son in the stroller, come back and do lunch, get him down for a nap and head out and paint the fence for a couple hours. I have a sprayer, but it's a large fence all along the back of the property. We tore down the one out front and used parts to repair bad sections in the back and side fence.

my son is a little tumor - doesn't want to be put down, at all, ever. (yes, yes i know... we're trying to break him of that) anyway, if lugging around his nearly 20lb butt all day counts as exercise... then that's mine.
