Cleaning My House as a Workout -
This is going to sound silly, but I really don't do much in the way of 'cleaning my house'. I pick up and clean the kitchen and bathroom counters daily...laundry...dishes and garbage's. But as far as scrubbing the floors, showers, bathtubs, walls, molding, high dusting, vacuuming, and so on...I have had someone doing that for me for several years now and I forgot how hard it is. (embarrassing)
Today I started to do that on my own again,,,good lord it was such a great workout. I had already done my normal Crossfit today, but then for like 3 hours I scrubbed and washed the house. I have my Nike Fuel on and I usually get to about 4200 for my daily fuel points...today I got to 5700 just by adding in that housework.
I made a list and put a few of the chores on each day so I can burn more calories and add more activity to my day. It was also a really nice break from my computer during the day. I also did a little in between eating so I wasn't having a large meal at any one time...just smaller snacks. I had apples and then did a little house work, then made tuna fish and did a little more work, and then had veggies and hummus...you get the idea.
It worked really well and now my house looks amazing, and I will be saving money. Which I will need because eating like this has been expensive!!! LOL.
