On the Lighter Side: Fantasy Fit-Ball

Fantasy Fit-Ball

One thing that's only about guaranteed at our house. If we make a weekend day with nothing going on, then, well, we're leaving to do as short as possible. And not find the least bit guilty about it.Of course, we had to get some things out of the way first - like the snow we got all day Friday and into the night.

I let hubby fire up the snowblower and care that piece I did my normal Saturday "chores" of sweeping, dusting, vacuuming, etc. I'm not certain what Carter did during all this, but he somehow deserved to go to the batting cage when we were done.This time I went with to determine the space out. Basically, our next-door neighbor has two "cages" set up within the terminal building that serves as his shop during the week. So Daddy threw pitches and Carter hit a pail of balls, then they'd play catch and then hit some more. I only sat in a lawn chair and watched (yes the construction was slightly heated).Afterwards, we settled into a lazy Saturday. Stopped for a little lunch at the Sportsmen's Bar & Grill down the road, then came home and did some laundry and played cards while Carter watched a movie.At some point, the neighbor called to see if Jim wanted to get over and see the Packers-Falcons game. I think our neighbour the Packer fan was willing to give up his family to Vikings fans if they were toting Bud Light.So Carter and I stayed home to learn the stake and distinct to build up for our lazy day. (Plus it's difficult to see a halt when we need BOTH teams to lose! So we invented a new "fantasy fit-ball" workout regimen - based on matching letters and scoring.Altanta = Abs (1 sit-up per point when TD is scored)Packers = Push-ups (1 per point when TD is scored)Field goal = Flight of stair running (3 per field goal)Penalty = Pull-up (5 per penalty)The challenging part was that we had a running total. So when the Packers scored their first touchdown, we did 7 push-ups. when they scored the succeeding one we had to do 14, then 21 and so on. All totaled, we did 147 push-ups (ow), 42 sit-ups and 6 flights of stairs. Carter was the just one doing pull-ups and they got enough penalties between the 2 teams, that only lasted until halftime.The "fantasy" part of this is that we'd actually get fit in one game's time! When in reality, we did so many push-ups, I'll be favourable to be capable to raise my arms up to type tomorrow.Just one more ground for me to disfavor the Pack.
