Do you count the calories burned by just walking around the house/job all day or is the excercise I track only supposed to come from specifice exercising I do above and beyond that?

    Only log specific exercises. The calories you burn doing everday things do not count because your body is used to them. Check your profile to make sure you entered your lifestyle correctly...sedentary, light active, active, etc.
