Afer 18 years it was time to either rebuild our small pond or demolish it. We went with demolish. I found someone through Craigslist to take my plants and fish, along with most of my supplies. So, I spent my morning hauling 3 waterlilies (weighing about 50 pounds each) from the bottom of the pond, along with various smaller potted/heavy plants. Then there was the entertainment of catching the fish, which went something like this:

Run, Squat, Swoop and Scoop, Stand, Repeat
Every 20th time, jump up and down like a fool, thinking you've caught a fish
Every 40th time, jump up and down like a fool, run in circles, because you DID catch a fish

Repeat until all 6 little buggars are caught.

How does something like this get logged???? Never mind, I think I'm going to bed now :)

    Sounds very similar to gardening. Squating, scooping digging and running from BUGS :sick:


    When you wake up :yawn: put in gardening.

    :drinker:

    Well, maybe something like moving boxes up stairs.... or something like that I saw under exercises. Try just looking at all of the exercises shown here and pick something that sounds close.

    Perhaps it would be easier for us to help you estimate this if you took a video and uploaded it for us :D lol.

    I might log it as gardening too. I was amazed at how many calories I burned last night pulling weeds for an hour! I might actually start enjoying it/doing it more often since I get to log my cals burned! lol
