Repurposing the desk chair

Last fall, I bought an exercise ball, thinking if I used it as a desk chair, my posture would improve and
I'd burn a few calories while I sat on it all day. Smooch was skeptical from the get-go, and I had my doubts as well.

Sitting on the ball turned out to be more work than working, and who needs that?

Famous last words from my original post about the subject: 

It remains to be seen whether I will have the discipline to stick with it. If it works out, great. 

If it doesn't, I have two buddies who I know would love to try it.

George: Whoa! Those chickens really are out of control.

As soon as I walked outside with the former desk chair big blue ball, the wind picked it up and I had to chase it.

Hmmm. Maybe I would get some exercise from this thing after all.

The boys showed a high degree of interest. Lucy hid in the corner.

Then I moved the big blue ball to their side of the fence. Their interest turned to skepticism.

When the big blue ball blew beneath the burro,
their skepticism turned to get-this-thing-away-from-me-I-want-no-part-of-it.

Then the wind picked it up again, and I had to chase it again, 

and this photo shoot was turning into as much work as sitting on an exercise ball all day.

Hank: How can I investigate the ball if you're sitting on it, mom?

Me: Good question. I'm not going to get any blog fodder if I sit on it either...

All exercise balls should come with a feed tub wind containment container.

Hank: Tastes like blueberries, with just a hint of grape.
