I'd like to know what happens in your everyday life that you think could be burning calories, but you don't count them. Please, NO SERIOUS answers here! Just for fun!
For example, today I would like credit for:
Tossing and turning (insomnia) - 1.5 hours
Forgetting why I came into a room, leaving, then remembering, and coming back into the room and forgetting again.
Handing out money to the kids
Scratching lottery tickets in the hopes I could retire early
How about it???:laugh:
