Activity level and counting exercise

Hey guy, just looking for some clarification on a few things in my food diary and all that.

I've set my activity level as lightly active as I work in a pet and produce store and spend all day on my feet (8 hrs a day). I do spend most of my time standing and cleaning in one spot, or behind a counter, but on most days I range from walking approx 2km worth of distance or higher.

Since I've already listed my activity level as lightly active, which gives me more calories to work with, should I NOT be counting this general walking around? I have been counting it as 1hr worth of slower walking a day but I don't want to take credit for calories I've already accounted for!

    Thanks, that's what I've figured. I've gone back and edited old diaries to see what diff it makes and it's no wonder I've only been losing 400gms or less a week on average. Haha, oops!

    I'll make the changes from here on out, and hopefully will see an improvement!

    The activity level constitutes the "working out" for the credit of walking.
