Default How many calories did I burn? Long story!

Here's the set up:

I'm in the kitchen making a broccoli slaw which turned out really tasty; broccoli, bean sprouts, dried cranberries, slivered almonds and a poppy seed dressing, sorry back to the subject, so I take off my ring which is very sentimental to me as it belonged to my mother who passed away this March, and I mix up the slaw with my hands..easier that way. After cleaning the kitchen I come upstairs to put away the laundry, get clothes ready for work tomorrow and take a shower. I realize I am missing the ring, now I'm worried that I threw it away when cleaning up. I grab a package that I'm sending out in the mail and head down the stairs, as it turns out way too fast. I miss the last two steps and take a flying leap out into the middle of the living room, pulling the railing out of the wall at the same time (that will cost some money), and land quite awkwardly on all fours. So I'm thinking I burned a boat load of calories.....what do you think? Oh and I found the ring on the counter.

Hahaha! You remind me of when I was a little to obsessed counting calories and after finishing business with my husband I looked up on MFP how many calories I burned. It was a big disappointment because it only give me 25cal for the whole session!
Sorry for the info!!!

If being clumsy burned a lot of calories I would be so skinny.

25 cals - almost doesn't see worth all the trouble

Thanks, Im glad I found the ring too.
