My Fitness Plan 101

New year, new you, right?! Everyone and their neighbor has some kind of new fitness or diet plan they hope to stick with longer than the end of January. My husband and I have often talked about going to the gym and working out together which is an awesome idea and I hope we will sometime. But for now it's just another thing to make time for and we'd have to find someone to watch the kids. Anyways, so I was thinking about all this and realized that I don't really need to go to the gym. So many of my daily activities are totally workout material. ;) Check it out! Here is Rachel Ballinger's Fitness Plan 101:

a. Plant a Garden

b. Eat the vegetables you grow in your garden

There you have it, lots of exercise and a good healthy diet! Oh, and don't forget to also:

c. Drink lots of water 

d. Get plenty of sleep

The best part of this plan is that I'm actually doing it. I'll share some pictures for proof. 

Ok, I'm not making the kids do all the work! But they are very willing helpers and ask to help. Brittany says she just likes the sound the hoe makes as it hits the dirt. She's my country girl! 

Lol! Please don't laugh at me! It's hard work! The ground is hard and has quite  a few rocks in it, but I like it. I really do! I enjoy being outdoors and working in the dirt. 

Here's one for all you cat lovers. This is our cat, Pearlie. :)

Today was such a lovely day and to be outside working up the dirt was a great way to enjoy it. I'm happy with how much we got done but there's definitely still plenty of "exercise" left for us to enjoy in the days to come.

Happy Gardening ya'll! (And remember, stay fit and eat your own homegrown veggies!)
