Wink Household chores are a detriment to carb-ups!

Does anyone know how to do a proper carb-up when there is lawn work to be done on the weekend? I mean, really! A good carb-up is when you sit around or nap and wake up every two hours and shovel some more carbs down the ole' pie hole. So, how's a person supposed to do this effectively when there is 3/4 acre of lawn that needs cutting (with a push mower), duh ?!

Isn't that what God created wifes for? My Honey has a major lawn fetish. It has to be cut just right. The couple times I thought I'd surprise her and cut the lawn, she went out and cut it over again because it wasn't right. Would you like me to send her over to your place?

Eat even more to compensate for the calories you'll be burning with all the activities?

Arnie....those days are gone, unfortunately, my wife used to be the same way when she was a stay-at-home mom, but she has a career now and is above lowly lawn maintenance chores!

Em.... I will indeed now endeavor to make up for calories burned during what I definitely see as wasted good eating time by consuming above and beyond what is needed for a good nap laden carb-up, LOL

holy crap! 3/4 acre with a push-mower? are the wheels at least power-assisted? my back would ache if it weren't!

thought about getting a riding mower when you reach one of your weight goals?

hmmmm let's seeeeee... heyhey, why not bring in a cow or two? they should keep the lawn short and provide milk for carb-ups haha

yep, why not just eat more? munch on granolla bars or something while cutting the greens
