Hefting filing cabinets

The name of  todays exercise was hefting filing cabinets. While I was out sick my huge, 5 drawer file cabinets (there are four lg ones, and two small ones) were moved to make room for someone else (with little thought to my own inconvenience I might ad, but don't get me started 'cause that's a WHOLE other rant!) who thought their needs were more important required the space my cabinets were taking up.

Today I (and Shanan, she's such a good friend!) re-organized the cabinets. The exercise goes like this:
  • First you empty and number the contents,
  • them shuffle the cabinet across the office,
  • then carry large piles of the contents back to the cabinet.

Do this, fast, for 1 hour - break for water as needed. It turns out that this was excellent exercise both cardio and strength moves. So, I guess I should thank this unnamed person....but I won't! The other upside, if there is one, was that in this flurry of moving and organizing we were able to create a proper lunch table beside the kitchen in our office - previously there was an empty table in the hall that we dragged chairs to, but we were in the way and across from offices (and we are a loud bunch when we want to be).

Good eats day (not stellar, but good), however I was HUNGRY most of the day!! Tomorrow I promise to be better. I've already backed my lunch and it looks so good it makes me hungry again right now!!

I was going to TRX tonight, but I'm too tired. I was gonna walk the girls, but when I got home hubby was making supper and fighting with daughter to complete her homework. I sent him out for the walk with the girls and I took up the battle. So little exercise but tomorrow Laurissa will work us hard to make up for it  - I might even show up early and do 5 mins of skipping to warm up!!

Nitey nite

PS Tonight I'm going to do some research on healthy smoothies (with spinach,etc) - more on this later!
