I went out to the farm this weekend. I miss the farm so much. I miss the animals, the peace and quiet AND exercise!!! I mean for instance, this weight bet that I am in with Wilma and Bruno, well, I have to exercise. I HATE going to the gym or to exercise!! Period!! To me, it is a great waste of time. You walk on the tread and go nowhere! You pump iron and for what? People look at each other, there eyes darting left and right. There is etiquette and protocol. Whatever!!
Now, if you are at the farm, you are exercising and don't even know it. If you walk from the house to the barn which is several hundred feet from each other, you are exercising. If you pick up a 5 gallon pail of chop, water, or oats and walk with it from the grain bin to the feeders, you are exercising and lifting weights! PLUS you have a ton of clothing on which is also hard to maneuver in. You are bending under wire. You are climbing to get over the gate! Pitching hay over the fence. Kicking straw around for the cows to lay in. Who needs kick boxing class!! I lost 2 pounds over the weekend and am toning up. It's great.
So who says the gym is the place to be! You wanna lose weight? Go to the closest farm or ranch. I don't know of one farmer or rancher that would turn down farm help! They may be crazy but they ain't stupid!!
Course, I may be a little biased being a farm girl and all!!
