How much of your daily exercise do you log???

I used to log walks and stairs when I started (work on 6th floor, have to climb 4 times a day, takes me approx. 10 minutes).
Now I only log my P90 workouts. I consider walking and stairs climbing is part of my "lightly active" lifestyle ^^'

A lot of times I see people logging things such cleaning and walking for five mins as exercise in their diary. I personally only add my calories burned at the gym or duiring workouts and I feel this works best for me. I am just curious how everyone else out there does it and feels about it. So please, lets hear em ya'll!! (ps. NO RUDENESS WE ARE ALL HERE FOR THE SAME REASON)

I only log real workouts, or a chore that is as hard as a workout like stacking wood, hiking with a pack, or a brisk walk, digging post holes, stacking bricks, etc. I do lot's of other physical activity, including walking around with 32 lbs of gear on for my job, but I don't feel the need to log all of that, and I don't care about the calorie burn for any of it. If I need some extra food for working out hard I just eat some more. I don't need an inaccurate calorie burn counter to tell my what my body already tells me.

I think sometimes people go overboard logging every single thing. I want to see people succeed so if people are just using estimates (like I do) instead of a HRM then I advise them to only log the things that they know for sure matches the intensity specified on the exercise they chose to log. Like, for me, even when I think I'm running an 11 minute pace, I usually log it as though I had run a 12 minute pace because I don't know for sure and I don't want to overeat.

I get a good 20-30 minutes of walking in every day just going to and from class and running errands on campus, but I never log it. I only log my deliberate "I'm going to go exercise" exercise. I figure the stuff I do throughout the day is just a little extra. That way I'm not cheating myself by allowing myself more exercise calories that I shouldn't have.

I don't log any activity that didn't require me putting on my workout shoes and strap on my HRM.

I wear a Fitbit, so pretty much all of it.

I am eating at TDEE for my goal weight, sedentary . I don't log any exercise, but I DO document it in the Strength Training record. I figure if I work out, there will be a deficit. If I don't work out, there will be a deficit as I learn to eat the way I will forever. I can take my time to lose this. I can't say I took my time putting it on though... I went through a rough patch and gained 40 pounds in less than 6 months (fatigue and stress, not depression).

because i have logged my daily activity as "active," i don't log taking the dog up and down the street, or housecleaning. i just log true cardio and circuit training. i have a friend who has set her activity level as "sedentary," so she does count every little thing. it has worked for both of us.

I use the Body Media device with MFP so I know exactly how many calories I burn every day and during all activities. What I have discovered is that logging extra activities such as house cleaning does not buy you any extra calories, in fact, MFP over estimates how many calories people burn for their activities generally speaking. For example, I am a triathlete and I bike 20 miles in about 65 minutes, MFP says I burn 800 calories, but the Body Media tells me I've burned only 250. Body Media is 95% accurate. If I clean my house for 1 hour, I do not burn much more than if I walked a 1/4 mile, which is about 25 calories. I hate to be the deliverer of bad news, but that is the reality. I think that it is best to only post your workouts. With that said, I do understand that some daily activities such as mucking stalls, stacking hay, cleaning the house, whatever, create an increase in one's activity level, but I think that unless it causes you to breath hard consistently for a sustained period of time and you break a sweat, you should just chalk those calories up as daily routine and leave it at that. Also, I'm now just trying to take off a few pounds to get to a race weight, but I've lost 65 pounds and I know what I'm talking about.

I've been logging workouts and walking (I walk 5km to university and back every day). But now I'm not so sure if I should be logging the walking!!

Yes, if you are walking 3 miles, you should log that, you burn around 100 calories for every mile you walk or run. So yes, I'd log it.

I have my lifestyle set at sedentary so I do log walking, but only on days I've gone over my calories a little.. it makes me feel a little better not to be in the red! I do find on days I've done a lot of activity/walking (and I mean proper brisk walks, to and from.. no walking with friends or around the shops) I tend to feel more hungry and when I'm hungry I eat and if I've had a particularly active day, it's nice to show I've earned those extra calories, just for myself

I log when I have worked out at the gym, have done an aerobics DVD or other home workout and walked the dog beause the dog walks are (depending on the route) 2.5 - 3.5 miles at a 4-4.5 mph pace norally.

I will log a house cleaning when I do a FULL cleaning which includes dusting everything, vacuuming, mopping all the floors and which takes about 4 -5 hours to do and I do work up a sweat.

Normal chores like cooking, washing dishes or just the short dog walk that I do which is all of 5-10 minutes I don't log because it's normal daily activity that I do. If I'm panting and working up a sweat it's logged. Otherwise no.

I only log workouts because daily activity is already factored in

This.

Only actual exercise unless it's above and beyond the call of normal.

Normal housework? No. Pre-inlaws visiting total house cleaning? Yes.

Planting tulip bulbs? No. Landscaping involving lugging around bags of mulch and pruning shrubbery? Yes.

Sweeping a dusting of snow? No. Shoveling 18" of snow? Yes.

This.

I also spend a lot of time in the kitchen about once a week, prepping, cooking and baking for the week ahead. My life gets so busy that having all the foods pre-prepped makes a huge difference. But I'm usually in the kitchen for 3 hours+ during this time; I am working up a sweat, lots of bending and moving, lifting dishes, chopping, etc...

Plus I usually have the tunes blaring and I'm usually shaking my bonbon the entire time too. I make it count. My HRM tells me I burn around 300+ cals while doing my weekly kitchen routine; so you bet your sweet ya-know-what that I count it!
