Now that I don't work, I suppose I should address the most common question people ask me, "What do you do all day?"
That's a tough question to answer because it depends on the week. I actually find lots of things to do. Typically my day starts out like this:
6:00 Wake up to let Jack come into my room and sleep with me.
6:45 Wake up brush my teeth.
6:50 Take Jack to my parents house.
7:10 Take a crap and then watch ESPN or Angel.
8:00 Stretch
8:15 - 11:00 Work out doing weights or cardio. To be honest, some days I watch movies during this time. On Mondays, it is clean the house day and errands which go until noon.
12:00 Eat lunch
12:15 Go to the pool to read the Wall Street Journal / LA Times / People / National Geographic
1:15 Check my email
1:30 Prep for dinner
2:00 Run
2:30 Shower
3:00 Pick up Jack and play with him until 5:00.
5:00 Cook dinner
6:00 Eat dinner
7:00 Shower time
7:15 Quiet time
8:30 Story time
9:00 Watch Tivo
Repeat Monday - Friday. Basically that is my day. If I have more errands or chores than I just cut out the exercise or the pool.
I am really not into exercising that much but I figure if I am not working I should try to get into shape. I am pretty decent at the cardio stuff but I started using weights and I am seriously the weakest person on the planet!!
Pushups...nope. Pullups...not at my weight. Lifting my own body weight...if I can't do it on a pull up bar how am I going to do it with actual weights? Actually I am getting better at all 3 but to lift 6 days a week and now I am stacking various exercises I am struggling with even the lightest of weight.
My sister turned me on to a protein drink and that really helps...the first day I took it I lifted for 3 hours straight. No one said I would be super sore the next day! Only problem is that it taste HORRIBLE.
I read that Muscle Milk is the best tasting drink so I tried it and yup it taste awe-some. Only problem is that it doesn't help muscle fatigue so I am back to lifting what an 8 yr old girl would lift. Ugh.
Working out is so over-rated but such is the life for this trophy husband! =)

funny post man!! :)

oh btw...is your sisters recommended protein drink...a sold product or you have to make it!??
i was wondering if Dawn's suggested drink might do my demaciated body some good with/without workout.
:)
Any leads on finding new work, Mr. Trophy Husband?
sunil-
the protein drink is a powder and it isn't meant to 'bulk' up. it was to help me recover from muscle fatigue. i can't remember the name but it taste horrible!
my sister adds fruit and stuff to make it better but i don't like smoothie type drinks.
i started drinking muscle milk, which tastes GREAT but i don't think it helps my recovery at all.
at least you can be thin with the strength of a 5 yr old girl!
