Question, should I add walking for convention?

Hello everyone,
This weekend I am going to a convention. Now I will be doing a lot of walking between panels, but it won't be consistent walking. For example I might walk for about 15 minutes, then 3 hours later walk for another 45 min, etc.

I am debating if I should include it into my food/exercise journal?

    If your conventions are anything like mine you'll be interacting with other attendees a lot as you walk, which will have an impact on its intensity as exercise. If I were you I'd temporarily bump my activity a level or two and let that cover it.

    You're very right, I might be stopping frequently to talk with people.

    I will at least add the dancing part of the convention though.

    I would log it as 1/2 or 1/4 time. That way you get some calories from it but a modest estimate.
