Sounds accurate. I personally only log actual exercising. For me logging stuff that really is just daily routine stuff feels like I am cheating myself. Look at it like this. If you don't log that stuff and go off actual exercise vs food intake it makes for a decent buffer. I don't like to pad the numbers at all. I always…

that beats mine! I did 2.5 miles in 30 minutes the other day. I am working on sustaining faster speeds. I did 1.8 miles tonight at 5.5 mph. I hope to do a half marathon next year sometime
