Whenever I join my friends during weekends for a boy's night out I always find them complaining how their wives spend a lot of time shopping.
In my case, I think of my wife's shopping activity as a "positive" thing.
Well, at least she doesn't get bored in the house doing chores and also, I think shopping keeps her in shape.
Don't believe me? Read on.
Some women love to shop for hours and some don't.
I guess it depends on the person.
I'm quite "lucky" my wife is on the yes list.
You see, women do love to find things, little things like towels with embroidery, ornaments and other apparels they could think off.
They enjoy shopping for discounted items and beautiful things they can hang on their homes.
But you know what's the "hidden" beauty of shopping? Exercise! You see, when you shop and search for a particular item, you walk (and talk with your friend) and walk from one shop to the other until you find it.
The beneficial thing about walking is that it helps you to lose weight naturally.
Women tend to shop for hours (2 hours or more) just to find a couple of household items.
During this time, they stand and walk for hours.
If you're walking on a treadmill for 1 hour without doing anything or just watching T.
V.
you might get bored easily.
However, while shopping for a particular item you like, 2 hours seems like nothing! I guess you could attest to this fact.
The key here is that you "enjoy" what you are doing.
You can't lose weight just by sheer disappointment and agony.
You'll lose some but eventually you'll quit.
When you're not happy and enjoying things that you do - it will wear you off soon.
Thus, I tell my friends to take advantage of the moment when their wives are shopping.
It seems boring, but in time you'll get use to it and enjoy it eventually.
I always plan ahead of time and search for personal items I love, thus me and my wife can have a great time shopping...
and losing weight.
