My thought is that this is really what's meant by NEAT (non-exercise activity thermogenisis). Seems like articles that tell you how good this is for you define it as "fidgeting", but I think its those active areas of daily living like cooking from scratch.

Emme - Yup!:D (yeah I know...I need to shave!:lol:)

*EDIT* - totally off topic, but I just finished making toll-house choco-chip cookies for the first time and I ATE ONE!...yup...just one!...and I liked it!:D Seriously though...I love the feeling of being in control of my food. I think the trick is allowing yourself "some"...sometimes!:) Anyhoot...it was soooo worth it, and I've never enjoyed a cookie more. (probably cuz I haven't had one in 8 months..haha!) But that's it. I'm satisfied. I don't want anymore...and I've got a 5 mile run in about 15 mins.:)
