Look at the Bright Side…

September 29th, 2007 · 1 Comment ·

I haven’t gone back to Jersey, my home, for at least a month and half. My grass has grown tall and in different directions. My first reaction was…”not again, this is a nightmare!” As much as I appreciate the greens, cutting grass is definitely not the way I want to enjoy the nature. However, I was able to get a couple hours of moderate workout from mowing the grass. And of course, I was not shy to replenish myself with some delicious vegetarian quesadillas filled with cottage cheese (in the next entry) for dinner. Well, here’s the look of my lawn, before and after I have done some work to it.

I burnt about 200 to 300 calories…not bad on an off-day from training.

Don’t take chores for granted. They count as part of having an active lifestyle!

    oh man, the two pics look pretty much the same but with different lighting haha… probably could have burned 200 more calories if you cut it right!
