Day 41-42'ish - Weekend Warrior

We went to Deanville, Texas to help friends get their new home, sort of a ranchette, ready for move-in. I was excited for my friends and... wanted to know how my PCP workouts would fair against an honest days labor. The house will have a long way to go, but they recently expanded their family to include goats. Lots of goats. Ironically, the property has to be ready for the goats before the people. That means fencing. Cross fencing. Gates. Posts and more.

Due to some travel logisitics, we didn't get to the 3 acre farm until mid afternoon on Saturday. It worked out okay, they had been to town to get last few materials. We quickly settled in to start stretching 4" goat wire fencing that was about 5 feet high. This required rolling out huge rolls of wire, stretching with a come-along, and nailing to posts with special fence nails. Fortunately, most of the previous posts were in good shape to be re-used.

Denise and I worked the remainder of the day Saturday, and some of Sunday. We kept up and stayed right along side our friends who do this more often than us. By the time we got back in to the city Sunday night, we were tired, but maybe more from the driving and excitement than the physical labor. PCP rocks!

We ate fresh food from a market selling grass feed meat, some frozen vegetables, and home made bread. Not all PCP friendly, but we focused on the good portions of the meals. Our friends in the country couldn't find anything wrong with our diet? It seemed rather natural to them. Well, they were opting for a lot more salt, so we cooked portions separately. But, otherwise, no major challenges.

We did miss a workout coming in Sunday night, but we moved that to our jump rope only night and it felt good to work out the muscles. I am still a little behind on jumps (catching up from the flu), but I can definitely feel I am getting in good strong workouts now. Yeah!
