Puddle Stomping...

Options
So I've gotten a little OCD about logging calories in/calories out.

I was gonna take the baby swimming, but there's enough rain coming down that we could swim in the puddles.

I wonder how many calories I would burn puddle stomping with my 19 month old (You know, put a stick in the gutter, chase it down to the drain, go back to where we started and repeat with whatever is handy and floats).

Seems like a mastercard commercial.

Swimming... 379 calories/hour...
Jogging with stroller... 650 calories/hour...
Puddles stomping... Priceless...

    Too funny!

    I find myself wondering the same thing... We had "wacky olympics" at my office yesterday (things like tug-of-war, beach ball volleyball, bungee races, etc.) and I couldn't help but wonder what would happen if I entered tug-of-war into the exercise log here - turns out nothing, but that's when I realized I had taken it too far!

    Keep up the active lifestyle!
