Is wrapping presents exercise?

I kind of had a slacker week. I didn't blog, much, and I only got in three workouts! I'm shooting for a better week, but not feeling so good so we'll see.

Previously I mentioned that shopping should be a sport, but I have another one. . . wrapping presents. It really is a lot of work. You've gotta relocate all the presents to the wrapping room, find the tape, all the paper, bags, ribbons, bows, tags, etc. By the time you've done that, you've cleaned out a closet or two because you can't just dig all that stuff out and leave a year's worth of junk all over the place. Then you sit down with the presents and figure out who gets what and wrap. At this point, I'm completely exhausted because it took me so long to find everything. I just bought a bunch of fancy gift boxes and I still have plenty of gift bags. Those are the best. They sure take the work out of wrapping.

Oh, let's not forget decorating the house. . . same drill. Gotta find everything. I remember a long time ago hearing someone talk about hiring someone to decorate for the holidays and thinking it would take all the fun out. I've changed my attitude. I'll all for it. It's just not that much fun when you have all the responsibilities of life.

There are so many parties this week/weekend. . . four in fact, that I just don't know how I'll get in all my workouts and eat healthy too. I did make Body Pump today, but felt like crap because I think I'm getting a cold.

Come to think of it, that Smart Lipo is sounding better all the time! Oh wait, there's the oozing fat thing after. Oh well. . . tis the season to eat, drink, and be merry, right?
