Personally, I have the guy’s same problem, and it’s certainly not from “grazing”. Rather, it’s from inactivity due to the fact that I sit at my computer some 10 to 14 hours a day on average. Even though I eat relatively lightly, I’ve gained 10 pounds in the last 6 months and I’m roughly 50 pounds overweight.

Its not a bad idea. It gets you out of the house and if you save the money, by the end of the holiday it should pay for a small break away.

Great idea until he keels over from heart attack. Its not just the exercise its also a little less grazing he needs to do! Still its a start. Good effort.

I couldn’t tell from the article, but is he using other ppl’s mowers or his own? Are these ppl covering his basic expenses (e.g., gasoline, equipment upkeep, transporation to and from the site)? In this sense, I don’t think you can fully say that he is pulling this off without expense (unless his “customers” give him voluntary tips to cover basic costs). However, your point is still valid/very sound, as whatever gas/maintenance/etc. costs, it is surely *far* less than one could hope to pay for a gym membership, personal trainer, diet program, etc. Quite a cool story/idea. Thank you for sharing.
