Ditch Digging Workout

I think every bone and muscle in my bone is aching as I write this post. Today, my husband decided to dig out the new sewer and water line for our new garage. Of course, I had to help. We rented a trencher. I thought it was easy as we went through the back yard. Yikes….I was in for a big surprise. When we headed down the hill through the woods. There were so many tree roots this thing had to cut through. As it did, it jolted and jumped. I felt like I had been tossed around inside a tumbler. The good news is….we got it done.

This was my first and last experience at ditch digging. I’m not sure how many calories I burned with this type of work. I know it was more than I burn when I walk in the park. I figure it was a good toning workout as well. I’m glad I was able to help my husband. It has to be downhill from here.

Off to soak in the tub with my diet green tea. (I take it everywhere with me.)
