Clean. Clean. Clean. Workout!
Th. Another rainy, cold, crappy day. Who wants to get up and work out when you can feel the house shaking from the wind and hear the frigid rain pelting the roof? Bleh.
Workout
it counts
so yeah theres too much to do to carve out an hour of time this weekend to go nowhere on an elliptical. so i spent three hours power shopping and running errands all over town followed by another 3 hours of intense cleaning & puppy proofing of the house. mopping and scrubbing floors and moving anything chewable.

Meditation Yoga and Apartment Cleaning
Yeah, so it wasn't much of a workout, but as my back has been bothering me since last night I'm counting any effort in the general vicinity of exercise as a workout.

Clean Momma Recklessly Combines Dusting and Pliés
Let's say you're a mom with no time, but you still want to get fit. Stop trying to carve out special exercise time, says Carolyn Barnes, a.k.a. cLean Momma. (Her strange capitalization.) Instead, she suggests working fitness into your household chores: Push-ups while you do the dishes, or lunges while vacuuming. Really?

Sunday Serious Cleaning and Another Swim
This was a full day of barn close up. For the winter. We also pulled in the raft, using Maxwell's ingenious car-rope-skids technique. Still, it required another swim in the bay (and there was the earlier dip well past midnight which might be included in this tally.) Lot's of hauling, hedge pruning, and eventually a glass of wine on the bluff.

October Swim and Wood Chopping
I made Steph and Pete join me for a swim in the ocean. Then some lunatic and abbreviates sprints on the beach. It was cloudy and not warm, and the water was rough, but it was necessary. After we got burritos and tacos at La Fondita. And after that there was some wood chopping and hot tub stoking.

may 24 - spring cleaning
sometimes i schedule parties just so i'm motivated to clean my apartment. i invited people over for memorial day, so i spent the day cleaning and moving furniture and painting an outdoor table and scrubbing all of the surfaces in my kitchen. exhilarating - i certainly worked up a good sweat and used some muscles dragging the couch around.

Energetic Cleaning w/ Circuits for Dessert
I blew off everything else I had to do today and went on a cleaning rampage. At least 4 hours of that included high speed (trying to finish in time for a friend's b-day party), super active cleaning.... like running up and down stairs, to and from the garage, carrying boxes, moving furniture and sweeping every floor upstairs and down.
Spring Cleaning
I didn't go to the gym today but I'm more soar than the last time I worked with my trainer. Today I spring cleaned my apartment. And I cleaned everything. Bathroom, kitchen, bedroom, office, living room, dining room. The apartment got cleaned from top to bottom.
