You Say HASAY, I Say Time Out
This week was a complete time out on the exercise and diet fronts. Unless you count the following creative ways to burn those pesky calories:
Lifting a 22-pound turkey in and out of the oven to baste every 20 minutes;
Chasing the 2-year old nephew around the living room so his Mommy can enjoy her meal;
Giant bear hugs to the kids home from school for the weekend (at least 50 each);
Racing to and from the airport with bags on Wednesday and again on Sunday;
Chasing the dog around the house when his mouth is full of our appetizers;
Serious lifting and lowering of large wine glasses, every day, over and over....and over; (more points if you squeeze in those abs while lowering the glass to the counter to pour more)
Stripping the beds, doing the laundry and remaking the beds to be ready when the kids return for the Christmas holiday/ Winter break;
Napping on the couch through endless hours of football on the TV (more points when the inner thighs squeeze the blanket around your legs).
Okay, so you're not buying into my new workout routine? Let's see how it worked....
Original HASAY weight: 135 pounds
Today's weight: 132 pounds (up 3 pounds from last week). Damn. Such a shame.

As the mother of a two year old Tasmanian toddler, I officially count chasing your nephew as HASAY exercise. And the football watching too, it's hard work napping and keeping a blanket in place, plus you probably did crunches on the couch while you got comfy. This week was a wash for everyone, methinks. Let's get back at it and lose those lbs you gained. Woo hoo, go HASAY!
