Day 76: Combining Activities

Some days, time and everything else will just get the best of you and you will find yourself facing an almost no win situation like I had today.  My problem was complete and total lack of time with completely poor planning on my part. I fully admit that I should have planned better but I didn’t so sue me.    

At 7:30 I still had to cook dinner as well as having multiple things going on at one time there wasn’t any way I could get everything done and go for a jog and then it hit me.  What if I combined two of my activities to get my work out in. 

In this eureka moment I went to my garage and got out my dumb bells.  Now, thanks to my genius,  on the back porch while I was grilling I was able to get in a complete total body work out.  My set went something like this. 

Shoulder Press

Put the veggies on the grill. 

French Curls

Bent over rows

Put the steaks on the grill.

Push Ups

Flip the steaks.

Bicep Curls

Dead Lifts

Flip the steaks

Squats

… And Done

Shortly after the completing my squats I plated my steaks and grilled zucchini and ate dinner.  During all this we had three pots of spaghetti sauce on the stove.  In all, including today’s harvest, we have harvested, off of 5 Roma Tomato bushes,  almost 24 pounds of tomatoes.  I would think there is still another 20 to 25 pounds of tomatoes out there right now waiting to ripen. 

Pretty amazing considering the amount of rain we have had has all but killed my zucchini bushes and cucumber vines.  My green beans are doing well although not producing quite like they did last year. 

Well that was about it for today and yes I am patting myself on the back for thinking of combining activities to ensure I got my daily work out in.  Life sometimes seems to work hard to get in your way and you sometimes have to get creative to get around it.
