Ridiculous weight loss thoughts...

I wore cute shoes to the amusement park because we weren't planning to do much walking...but then we did six miles and I got a blister.

I began wondering how many extra calories would be burned to heal. It popped while I slept, so that'll be extra, now that it's opened and has to work a little extra hard to fight off invaders.

Every time I feel a zap of pain, I wonder how many calories will be burned healing this thing, lol. Have to be a few!

I'm actually happy about the thing when I console myself with the fact that it's down there burning calories.

    It's burning calories, but it's probably not burning many Calories

    I'm sorry you got a blister, walking around after that happens does suck.

    But, um.. I don't think pain or healing gives you much of a calorie burn. Hell, if pain gave a good calorie burn, I'd be model-thin for sure.

    According to this article people recovering from burns heal faster if they eat more. http://www.livescience.com/52525-severe-burn-patients-benefit-from-extreme-calorie-overload.html

    Burns are another way to get a blister...

    But it's about more than just the calories and it appears that being at a deficit can be detrimental when the body is trying to repair itself.

    But hey. Finding a way to feel positive about an unpleasant experience is not a bad thing. :)

    Well you were right about one thing-that is a ridiculous thought.

    My ridiculous thought:
    I read here somewhere that we burn more calories in the cold due to our body trying to stay warm.......
    but I just got a fancy new treadmill in preparation for our Canadian winter....
    .....so I wondered how crazy it would be to crank the AC while I run on the treadmill....
    I mean, I have good freaking central air.....I could make this house feel like a walk in refrigerator

    I've never had luck with band-aids, even those. Moleskin, on the other hand? That's brilliant stuff.

    @juliebowman4 or just use the treadmill outside.

    Don't let that blister cause you stress - it could slow the losses.

    Was just thinking though, if you have a blister ( and your body is burning more cals because its healing it up ) would you probably end up walking around less though ?( because it would be uncomfortable to walk, run or jog a lot while you have a open blister )
    What equation did you use to figure out how many extra cals your burning ? I'm wondering if we factored in less walking-running-jogging in to it because of discomfort then would it just cancel each other out ?

    Sorry about your blister. I have had my share, and I also love the special cushioned band aids. The anesthetic, antibiotic cream helps too. I am glad you gave us a smile. It is easier to not over eat when I am smiling. Smiling burns calories, laughing too, but especially that run to the bathroom when you combine water drinking and laughing.

    I like my depends. This is not an endorsement, BTW. LOL

    Once I had to wear these cheap uncomfortable shoes ( I was in a wedding and the bride picked out all the dresses and shoes. Some of those shoes are poor quality but marked up high cost because they come from a bridal store ) and I got a terrible blister on my heel and pinky toe. They hurt so badly I didn't go to the gym for two days . every time I wore a shoe, I wanted to yelp! Lol ! Since then, no more cheap shoes and I always carry a bandaid blister pack in my car if I'm wearing brand new shoes, just in case !

    Ridiculous thought... How many calories do I burn whipping my head around giving a WTF? look to the guy who just cut me off? Because I do that a lot in Orlando traffic.

    My oldest told me that if giving side-eye burned calories, I could have eaten 10k calories a day and never gained an ounce when I had a house full of teenagers. True.

    I like sleeping in a cold room because I like having heavy blankets over me. My husband protests this. I always tell him that we burn more calories in the cold because we shiver until the sheets warm up.

    If this was true I would be 100 lbs since I have chronic pain from Rheumatoid Autoimmune Disease. Right now I must be burning alot of calories since I am flaring in my back and shoulders.

    Too bad the cortisol elevation as a result of the pain, healing process and worrying about how many calories burned will more than offset any additional thermogenesis from the blister itself. Maybe even create a stall.
