what do you count as "exercise" what do you log????

i only log actual exercise... like when i put on my exercise cloths, and go work out
i don't log cleaning, or cooking, or sex
those are normal, every day things that i don't feel should be considered exercise.

I count my gym exercises. I also work 2 nights a week in a kitchen for my second job. I count that as well because I work my *kitten* off and I dont see a difference in the gym and working in a kitchen. Why shouldn't I log it as exercise?? I like those days because I can normally endulge a little more than usual.

I only count planned workouts like walking, jogging, weights, rock climbing, swimming, biking, etc. Things like cleaning I do not count because it's really hard to know exactly how much you burn doing that kind of thing unless you have a HRM, in my opinion. Maybe if I had a HRM and could see exactly how much I was burning, I'd feel different!

I haven't done a lot of cleaning or yard work lately (and it looks it), but I think if I was to do some intense housework or yard work for an hour or so, I'd count it.

Other than that, I count my traditional "workouts" and my kung fu class. The only normal daily activity that I log is the 20 minutes I spend walking the dog. But to make sure it counts, when he's stopped (sniffing, looking, doing his business, whatever), i march in place to keep the burn going.
