Easy Empty Nester Workout ;)

I usually work out to my Beachbody and a few other non Beachbody DVD's, but this summer I've been taking a bit of a break from them and doing outside activities to pump my heart up and get my exercise in. "Workouts" such as mowing my lawn - it takes us about 7 to 8 hours by push mower to complete - gardening and taking walks on our gravel road. One other fun workout is fishing. It doesn't really get my heart racing except when there's a fish on the hook :)

Anyway, I just wanted to tell about a new experience for me. Mister and I have been fishing on his time off from work as a form of chillaxin. I am not totally girlie when it comes to fishing. I can put my own worms on the hook and sometimes even get my own line unsnagged :) But I've never 'done up' my own line after the snag comes out of it and the line is free of fish hook and weights. But I've been watching my husband do it for years now. Well, recently I was having a very disappointing run of unwanted snags and about the 3rd time of having to have my husband do it for me, I decided to 'try' it myself. I got the egg sinker on, the split shot, the swivel and the hook on all by myself. Granted I did the knot a little different than what he did on the swivel, but it worked. I was so proud of myself! But alas, when it was time to reel in, I couldn't. Why? Cos when I had started the whole thing, I had the line on the wrong side of the reel. Duh! I was a bit embarrassed and that burst my happy bubble. But my sweet husband assured me he had done that many times, even after he knew how to do this right :)

So far I haven't made that mistake again. And I even tie the knot the same as Mister. lol
