Don't Be so Glum, Chum

Last Saturday was a beautiful day here in the Piedmont region of NC. I spent the late morning shopping for items to decorate and clean my home and after that, I spent the next 5 hours cleaning (which included scrubbing the bathtub, sweeping, mopping, vacuuming, laundry, etc...)

Since it was such a beautiful day, I was so bummed about not taking advantage of it and going for a walk. That is, until I came across this Interactive Calorie Calculator. According to my calculations, I burned 221 calories on my 1 hour shopping spree and 1202 calories for the 5 hours I spent cleaning. That's a total of 1423 calories!

So next time you are down about being too "busy" to fit in a workout, punch in your numbers and see just how many calories you burned!
