Days Missed: 0

12/21: Slimdown Xtreme w/Chris Fretag, 25 min.

Running around like a loon to about 4 or 5 different stores . . . wonder how many cals that burns?

Workout 6 out of 13 done!

Way to go everyone!!

Dogs walk today, plus cleaning. Picked up the Christmas ham from Honey Baked. Can't wait!

loose seal: Shopping for hours or running all over stores can burn a lot of calories! As can cookie-making, apparently, lol. I was really surprised the other night to see how many calories I burned in 6 hours of continuous baking!

Days 7/15

chickadee . . . almost all this week I've been dashing to and fro and in about 10 minutes I'm starting in on two days of baking/preparing for Sunday. How did you figure out how many cals baking/cooking burns?

Really didn't feel like exercising but did anyway. Now? Am super glad that I just did it, put my back into it and am done. The dogs are looking at me like 'hey! are you taking us out now, huh are you, huh, huh?!?!?!?!?' <sigh> after I get things underway . . .the pecan pie bakes for an hour, likely I'll try to get them out then. Maybe I'll shower tomorrow! :lol:

Xtreme Kickboxing w/Chris Freytag, 40 min. One and done!

Workout 7 of 13 DONE! :D And....I FINALLY broke 190...Yay!!!

Since I don't work out on the weekends, I wanted to be sure to say that I hope everyone here has a blessed and safe Christmas Eve and Day this weekend.

sandcar . . . well done!! Congrats on breaking through . . . it's so rewarding to see a new 'decade' of numbers, isn't it?

I'm hoping for a dogs walk later today but that's about it. Literally no time -- I'm down to the wire. Posting as I gobble my eggs.

Have a wonderful Christmas everyone!

Oh boy. I just opened a Christmas present from a relative who had no idea that I started my weight loss journey - a yoga exercise ball. :present:

Now I'm off to google this, I don't know what to do with it. :)

:clause:

loose seal: I have a BodyBugg, and so I was able to see the calories burned when I uploaded my data. Over those 6 hours of baking I burned ~1050 calories, whereas I would have burned ~450 if I had been sedentary during that time. So, I burned about 100 extra calories an hour during that time.
