Day 7-9 – Real World Exercise

Elephant
We saw Elephants! (But, not this one. Thanks Unsplash!)

So, I’m back to +2. hmpf. I’ve been focusing more on the exercise than the diet. Oh well, I’m still feeling pretty good about it.

I’ve been out in the real world lately. On Day 7, I was complete jelly from the exercise the day before, and other than some light stretching, I took the day off. Yesterday, the kids and I headed to the Zoo. We were there for 5 hours! Our zoo isn’t a flat meandering sort of place, it’s on a steep hillside. Even a short trip is decent exercise. After 5 hours, I was again completely exhausted.

Today, more real world exercise. I’m volunteering for invasive species removal in one of my local parks. Four hours of pulling Scotch Broom (Cytisus scoparius) should put me in the same state today.
