Amazon Runner's comment on my last blog about working out by lifting and splitting logs was too good not to repeat: "You may have invented a new fitness craze that will sweep the nation-- just think....... Birch presses, ashrobics, pine-ups........." Very Very clever! Thought for a minute she might have been channeling Jack Sh*t
(Actually I'm dealing with elm, oak, locust, mulberry and walnut, but too tired to come up with new wood-work out names. Any more ideas AR? Anyone else?)
Every fall I usually spend 3-4 hours each weekend filling my logracks to get ready for winter. Yep, moving, splitting and stacking wood is a great workout. And the reason we say when you burn wood for warmth it "heats you twice".
Monday was my weigh-in day. I weighed in, changed my weight loss ticker and "countdown" I'm not going to mention it in a post; I've decided that unless I hit a milestone I won't mention weekly losses (or gains) I'll continue to change my "ticker" and change my "countdown" -- just not comment. Over the last few weeks I've learned that my weight from one week to another doesn't tell the whole story. Whats much much more important is the process. And dealing with my inner gremlins, self-sabotage and my issues surrounding food.

This should be one of the Secrets of the Fat Fat Sisterhood. Shhhhhh...
My father-in-law works at a hospital with a doctor that splits wood regularly for exercise. The funny thing - he doesn't even have a fireplace. He has wood delivered to his house and goes out and splits it. When he is done who knows what he does with it.
ReplyDeleteYou're right. Dealing with issues surrounding food is a process. It must be invigorating to work outside cutting wood.
