    No, I did cleaning before and I didn't lose weight. It's part of life.

    No, but it's in the back of my mind that I have a little wiggle room on those days. For me, it's the days I stay home with my 5 month old versus days I'm at work. I am MUCH more active when I'm home (surprisingly) than at work. Being at work is a freaking break LOL I'd like to get a fitbit to know exactly the difference between the two, but I guess I really don't need to. It's probably a few hundred calories so I just don't panic as much if I come close to my calorie goal and not having worked out. I worked all darn day with that baby and house cleaning!

    I would only count it if I do it for an hour or more and only if it's really involved.

    Or just power cleans. Those are the only cleans I'll log.
