So let me tell you a little about me:
I get up around 7am
I take my dog Optimus Prime for a walk
I bullshit and get ready for work
**8am shake for breakfast!!**
I'm always late for work.
My office hours are 8:30-5. I take lunch around 12, and when it's nice out I use that time to go for a walk. I usually work 9-5:30
Then I change and go into horsey mode
From 6-9/10 I work at a horse farm. I walk around -- ALOT. I bring the horses in, there are 8 that need exercising. There's a momma horse and her baby and they need to be fed and nurtured. There's a piggy walking around oinking at me, there's a goat following me around head butting me because he wants food, there's a 3 legged cat meowing at me because he wants food.
**SHAKE for dinner between 6 & 7 pm**
Bringing everyone in from the field... that can be a journey in itself. I need to see just how far that walk really is lol. And how far really depends on who wants to come to the gate and who wants to hang out at the back of the field. I bring them in, give them their supplements, check everyone over for cuts or soreness, and saddle up. I ride one, 'pony' 3 behind me. 4 horses get worked at a time. SO I get an upper body workout holding on to the ponied horses, i get a leg workout kicking and steering the riding horse, and of course a core workout (because good, centered riding is all about core!). 20-40 minutes with each set, I do 2 sets of this. Then maybe I get to get on a 'green' (young/untrained) horse and teach her how to horse like a big girl. Then I turn everyone back out [more walking!] and go back up to the barn to scoop poop, sweep the aisles, tidy up, fill water buckets, and turn the lights off.
All in a days work... but is this exercise?? I think so! I get over 12,000 steps a day (17k on a really good day!) and I work all sorts of muscles. What do you think??
As for the Isagenix program, I have my shakes during busy times when I don't have time to make myself a full, healthy meal. Breakfast while I'm rushing around getting ready for the day, and dinner when I'm rushing around trying to beat the sunset to get in all the stuff I need to do. IT'S PERFECT! I think that I should stick with the two shakes a day thing through the WHOLE summer. It's not the worst thing I could do...
