SAHM's with no little kids running around all day - LOOK HERE

[neenee]

Okay, so my youngest DD is 13yo and is gone everyday from 7:20 am to 4:15 pm so there is no "tending" to her that needs to be done during the day. And even when she is around she is at an age where she is very self sufficient. So, my days consist of just me, doing my few daily chores, scrapping a bit and watching movies (I'm a HUGE movie buff), oh and a workout or two.

I keep my house tidy and organized. However, I am not a clean freak. I know I don't sweep, mop, vacuum, dust, etc. as often as I should but hey, it's not disgusting either. We are very neat people for the most part.

So, what I am struggling with is how in the world you can up your calorie burn as a SAHM in my situation. I would never be happy cleaning my house top to bottom each day. I am not able to workout more than 2 hours a day because I get very bored. Honestly, sometimes I long for little children so that I would be more active during the day. Even when my little Ben comes for the weekend, I usually lose a pound or two cuz I burn so many calories playing with him, packing him around, etc.

So, what do you girls in similar situations do to fill your time during the day that is fun and still burns some calories? I know if I worked outside the home I would burn much more than I am burning now but, forget me working....it's out of the question.

Here is my typical day:
7:00 - wake up and do a few chores
7:45 - check in at forums, scrap a layout
10 - workout for 45 to 50 mins
11 - watch TV
break somewhere in here for a few chores
maybe scrap another page
4 - start dinner and do the last of my chores while it's cooking
5:30 - 6 - eat dinner
Cleanup
7 - workout for 45 to 50 mins
8 - watch TV
9 to 9:15 bedtime

Clearly I sit alot of my day. Actually about 6 to 6 1/2 hours of my day is sitting. I think I need a garden maybe to get me off the couch and active doing something that is fun and won't have me watching the clock waiting for it to be over. Any other suggestions?

P.S. Sorry I rambled.....
