I'm always so wore out by the end of shopping. Changing in and out of clothes, walking back and forth from one end to the other at the mall, and I'm beat! I know I'm burning extra cals, but I'm not putting them down.. Does anyone put their shopping down as exercise? Just wondering..:huh:

    I do :D But I only count it as an hour or so of walking because I don't want to overestimate! When I go shopping I am there for hours and I walk fast. It is definitely not part of my daily/weekly routine, so I add it.

    I don't, but I have thought about getting a Cinnabon and calling it a wash.

    If I'm out shopping for 3 or 4 hours, I'll count 1 hour of walking at 2.0 mph because realistically I'm walking and stopping and standing, etc... not walking the whole time. If you count it, do so conservatively so you don't overestimate the calories you're burning and throw off your weight loss.
