I missed my workout yesterday ...and I was really bummed about it , especially since my bofriend and I went to Red Robin and we split a cheeseburger & hot wings and I had 2 glasses of wine to boot .....

So I thought hmmmm I wonder if doing all that laundry including folding it all burned off an calories ...


Well YES it did !!

Based on the calories per hour website it says you burn 11 calories every 5 minutes ...

1 1/2 hours of laundry = ME HAPPY !!!

    You should see how much cleaning and cooking is - I feel better about that on the days that I can't make it to the gym, usually the cleaning and cooking days!

    I can never make it to the gym:grumble: I don't have a membership anywhere anyway. Most of the time cleaning and cooking is what I do when I'm at home. That and walk my dogs. So that's kinda my workout.:ohwell: and on days that I go to work I do the same things all over again. Cleaning and running around the store, and running the cash register.

    You shouldn't count it anyways. When you input your activity level (sedetary, moderate etc) it already calculators this type of activity.
