What don't you log?

I haven't really been logging exercise...I know I could log some things (I spend a lot of time scrubbing, food prep) that involve movement but not as much walking so my fitbit doesn't really know about it, but I don't bother. I do exercises that the fitbit might not give me enough credit for, because it only knows Im moving when I zumba, it doesn't know Im moving my arms and such. But I don't bother logging that stuff. I don't want to be tempted by "earned calories". I'm having little enough progress as it is. And I feel like the exercise I get in makes up for the sedentary time that I have built into my life (such as feeding the baby). I also do not put in anything for breastfeeding, which burns calories on its own.0

I don't log "life". Walk around an amusement park for 8 hours with my kid? I don't log it. Walked up to the 7th floor at work instead of the taking the elevator? I don't log it. Received a package? I don't log it. 1 mile walk each way to the nearest Subway from my office? I don't log it.
I log all my food, but I only log exercise that I took on for the purpose of actually doing exercise. Anything else I would seems like I'm just trying to hit a number to justify my calorie intake.0 -
I only log calories burned when I am intentionally exercising. I have my activity level set to sedentary because I sit at a desk most of my day, but i do not log the 10 minute walk to the bathroom 5 plus times a day or the random exersices (squats calf raises) i may do to get the blood flowing. I dont believe cleaning is an exercise on a regular basis however if i do a "spring cleaning" walls floors carpets moving furniture ect i will sometimes add that and when the pool gets a good cleaning scrubbing tile and brushing all the walls i occassionally log it if i feel the need. but i NEVER eat back my calories and it works for me so i am sticking to it. Sometimes it just feels good to see the numbers0

I log cleaning, but only because I do it all day as part of my job. I'm not just tidyin up around my house. I'm scrubbing, vaccuuming, ect for hours at a time. But, I only log about a quarter of the hours I actually clean.0
