Snow Showeling Workout!!

Okay my title says it all. Woke up at 5:30 and shoveled my 4 car driveway and sidewalk by myself. Whoo Hoo. My bum husband was still snoring and had the nerve to tell me I did all the work for nothing as the snow drift covered the driveway again. I came to work because he ticked me off!!

My workout this morning so far has been - ripping out shelving and door frame, hauling in plywood for subfloor, moving boxes, unexpectedly clearing and moving my workbench due to a leak (see roll call), and clearing the driveway so hubby can go to lowes to buy cutoff valves.  And it's not over.   Certainly don't need the gym today!

Shilpa, tell yourself to just be proud of yourself and what you accomplished that you COULDN'T have done a relatively short time ago... and think of mother nature as a particularly aggressive personal trainer.  Haha.  Don't let hubby get to you!

Shilpa,

     I think that it's great you were able to do all of that.  I haven't gotten around to shoveling yet because it's another day off from school.  I am getting so tired of the snow but you just can't fight Mother Nature.  The nice thing I found out in the last blizzard was since I am 85 lbs lighter it doesn't hurt as much if I fall down in the snow.  I am not nearly as sore as I was and I can also shovel without hurting myself like I used to.  They are both pluses for me.  I admire all the exercise that you do - I hope to get more on the ball myself.  Spring can't come fast enough for me. 

Take care.

Donna

Just think.......24 more days until SPRING. Whoooo Hooooo!!!!!


Yeah some of the drifts at my place were over the top of my 1st floor windows.  I had to call my nephew to shovel out my door so I can take the dogs out. Thankfully he only lives 3 house away!


I have noticed that a lot more women were out shoveling today without their hubbies too. Whats up with that? If it  cant be done by a machine the men hide!


Good job with all of the shoveling. At least it allowed you to escape home to get away from Mr Sarcastic! Imagine how many calories you burned and will burn as your sore muscles need extra  nutrients.

Yea that was basically my exercise, too.  We have a 2 car driveway and a walkway to our house.  The walkway from the driveway to the door of the house, no kidding, due to drifting was up to my thighs, and or waist in some points.  So, I shoveled for a good couple of HOURS yesterday.  I did take a few intermittent breaks....but I'm feeling it today.  Not like I USED to feel it, but it's still there!
