    Personally I don't include anything now that I did normally before. I figure that if it was really a help to me before I wouldn't need to be on this site. Normal wasn't enough - I have to go above and beyond what I view as normal.

    I think its a personal choice, and I choose not to make anything count that is just part of my regular way of going about my life.
  • With all the stopping to pick things out it would be hard to justify it as walking for exercise. We walk a bunch in our lives already, that's part of how we burn our base number of calories. Unless you are walking a steady 2 mph or faster for at least 10 minutes, you probably shouldn't count it.
