I'm house sitting for friends and they have a lovely hottub on their deck. LOVING IT!!!!
I went over today by 14 calories. I think they'll burn off in the hot tub. What do you think???

(The things we do to make ourselves feel better eh!!!)

P.S.
Yes, I Am Canadian EH!!!

    Hmmm, burning calories in a hot tub? How about you do ten jumping jacks and then get in the hot tub? I'm sure that will burn off those 14 pesky calories...:tongue:

    I'm not sure if hottubs burn calories. Would be nice if it did though! :laugh:

    But I wouldn't worry about 14 calories. It's not an exact science, and in the long run 14 calories is not going to make a difference. :wink:

    I'm not worrying. I'm just looking for another excuse to get in the hot tub again.!!! :)
    (not that I need an excuse...but if it works)
    I think we should start a new fitness program: Hot-tub-ercise. Who's in??? Soup? Carrie? Tam?

    Hey Laura,
    I think that our new "Hot-tub-ercise" program states that anything consumed while in a hot tub automatically burns off during consumption. :)
