So I don't log my calories for cleaning and stuff like that becaue I just use it as cushion and I don't trust myself not to over estimate my effort (nothing against anyone that does, to each their own), but a friend of mine is using some other app thing and it allows for logging sexual activity.

I checked and MFP doesn't have any of those in the database. LOL. I suppose if I wanted to I could "add it", but I still don't think I would. I'm not sure I want everyone knowing when I get down and dirty with my hubby but thought that is was funny.

What other types of "physical activities" do you add, or see others add, that are funny or just plain weird.

    I have to admit that I did check for X activity when I first joined MFP, I was desperate for extra calories. So sad that it does not count.

    That's so funny! I always joke about how I wish that was an option for cardio activity. I've actually worn my calorie monitor watch during to see how many calories I burned!

    The funniest add I have seen is getting calorie burn credit for food preparation. One of my friends logs that often. Granted she is to her goal weight but what is the point of that? Then you can log walking across the room, taking a poop, and setting the table for dinner. I was recording cleaning when I first joined MFP because I wanted credit for it, but I think it is better to set aside real time to exercise and everything else is just bonus calorie burns.

    I use yoga as my code word but inevitably someone starts talking about how they have always wanted to do yoga. Then I feel the need to explain. I now just let those extra calories burned be icing on the cake :) Oh yes, ride them cowgirl :)!!!

    Too funny! I'm just getting around to reading some of the comments, because I only had my mobile app yesterday. LOL, I needed a good laugh. Maybe I should think of a code word and add it just for fun. I actually do yoga, so I might have to take up horseback riding ;-). I'll have to Google how many calories though because I don't own a HRM.

    I don't add any exercises that are odd... But can I just mention MFP has in the database sperm/ejaculate? Wtf! LOL I guess some people really SHOULDN'T share their diaries!

    Edit: I don't know if she added that in there or what... But that's 5 calories I'd choose not to count!

    I wore my HRM for this a couple times, but I do it when I know I'm going to be baking for hours and not sitting. I don't eat those calories back, I just want to know how much I burn while baking a crap load of cupcakes and cookies because I'm always exhausted afterward. Sometimes moreso than when I go for a run.

    I once saw someone logging "Special times with hubby". As a tragic single I decided I was feeling left out... so now you'll find "Special times with Jillian" logged in my exercise several times a week.

    With any luck someone at least thinks I'm getting some action.
