I Have A Plan

These are not words that my husband likes to hear me utter. Generally they involve him doing ... stuff. Lots and lots of stuff. Stuff he generally has little or no interest in doing.

But THIS time I saw the glow in his eyes when I mentioned the "Walmart" section of the plan, the speculation that this could work, the remembrance that his wife is both smart and not-a-gold-digging-trollop.

Its a pain, an expensive pain, to take the children to the gym to work out. Technically, I can work out while they're in the nursery, but thats six dollars per hour which can add up quick. The alternative being that my husband could watch them which is also problmatic this time of year. I have an alternative plan!

The Winter Walmart Weightloss Plan! Think about it ... Walmart is laid out with the extra-large aisles forming a big square race track. Down by toys, across by fabrics/shoes, up through groceries, across by the registers, down by toys, etc. I just need a pedometer to measure the laps around the store. Its heated. Its always open. I can pick up milk if I need it (after my laps) without an extra trip getting kids in-and-out of the van. I have to leave the house anyway to pick up the boys at school. I can up the intensity of the workout by pushing both girls in the cart. Walmart is close to the house. Its free!

This is the PERFECT plan to get in a few miles per day! Bwahahahaha. I'll let you know how it goes.

I can picture it now. A special row of workout-carts with wheel tension settings on them (for those who don't have two girls to put into the cart.)

You might also walk out to the garden center and put a few 40lb bags of manure into the cart. Of course, the cart guy might start to wonder why every single day someone loads up a cart full of manure and then decides not to buy it.
