    I have never logged cooking as exercise. I usually don't log cleaning as exercise. But, I am this week because I normally don't do the kind of cleaning I am doing this week. I am doing a good fall cleaning. Going through every closet and room cleaning and decluttering everything. I don't log it as many hours as I am doing. But, I will log it as about 2 hours (when I am spending about 6 hours).
    When I do every day cleaning, I don't log it!

    This is me for sure! If on a Saturday morning I am running around doing all the deep clean stuff I can spend a few hours but I log an hour.

    log sex as "walking the dog, 2.5 mph" like the rest of us do

    :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    I actually logged it as sex once, when I first started MFP. I didn't realize that it would post to the news feed. :laugh:

    this again? :noway:

    Edit:
    sex burns 90 cals. for 20 minutes ... If you want to add it, do the math. I think it should be one of those things you don't worry about. The idea isn't about how many calories you burn, but __ (you fill in the blank).

    Sense of humour failure?

    Happens a lot on here doesn't it...

    Why don't you go off and have your breakfast, see if you can find the 'humour' button when you get back.

    I'm gonna start logging it as "uni cycling". I don't think that will raise any eyebrows. It seems legit.

    I actually do unicycling :laugh:

    I always thought it was vigorous cleaning.

    and riding a motorcycle apparently. The argument was that keeping on the machine through the wind required effort.

    Id say that the first week that I had my new, heavier bike could count as exercise, since I wasn't used to it and was just desperately trying not to be crushed by the damn thing every time I stopped. After that, nah.
