New Kind of Exercise

So today, I did an "unconventional" way of exercising.  I REALLY needed to clean my house.  I needed to get my Christmas stuff down and organized and I needed to totally scrub my kitchen and rearrange all the furniture in there.  All in all I worked for 4 hours.  At the end - I was EXHAUSTED!!!

I logged in my time in my calorie tracker after 2 hours.  It was almost exactly the same amount of calories that I burn in just 30 minutes of aerobic exercise.  It makes sense, so I wasn't really surprised - but at the same time it's lame I had to work for 2 hours instead of just 30 for the same results.  Although I DID get a lot accomplished, so that's great too!

We ended the night with a movie, smoothie and popcorn.  Our FAVORITE way to end the night.  I recorded everything that I put in the smoothie.  Good thing I make them really healthy!!  It can still add up quickly though so it was nice to track the exact amount.  With a small smoothie and 100 calorie pack of popcorn - I was set and my calorie intake was still right on track!
