It Scared me outta my mind!!!!!

Last night one house down from mine went up in flames. The only part of it standing were the limestone walls. The houses here are so close together....my neighbor siding just melted down the side of her house and I have never felt "fight or flight" that strong before. When I felt the adrenalin release, it burned and then I was shaking like a leaf.....and know I have a crazy thought do you burn calories at a higher rate when you are scared beyond belief? I have never had adrenalin burn before like that before and is it weird I can feel it release? But, my family and I as well as my neighbors are incredibly lucky that the wind was'nt blowing, half the neighborhood could have went up.....I'm still shook up about it!!!

As well it should have! That's quite the eye-opener!

I think it does burn more calories.. (not a true comparison) Last week I went for a 3 hour ride w/my husband on his motorcycle (which I really really don't like) and my BodyMedia Fit (like they wear on Biggest Loser to record calories burned) registered some moderate and vigorous activity during the ride. Obviously I wasn't moving so it had to be "stress"...
