I have been wondering about exercise calories and what counts. I was counting

pretty much any activity that was above the norm. The norm for me when I started

was sitting on my a$$. So I started out counting the calories for cleaning above

the minimum that I was doing, yard work, etc. I have read different schools of

thought on this approach, though. It was working for me for a while but it

doesn't seem to be working anymore. Something isn't working, at least. Has the

more active me become my new norm? What do you guys think? What kind of activity

do you track?

I think caloriesperhour.com can do it too: I do not know how user friendly it is.

Otherwise sparkpeople.com or thedailyplate.com are sites I use...

No, I don't " eat " my extra calories. It is just more for curiosity and to see if

am doing as much as I think I am. The aches and pains tell me I am doing plenty!

LOL

I am not a fan of exercise for the sake of exercise. I get really bored, really

fast. But I am a putterer. Since I have not been working, I have cleaned out the

garage, refinished the wood floors, completely redone the flower beds, etc.

I did find a buddy to walk with today. I am not sure how easy it is going to be

for our schedules to mesh but it would be nice to have a buddy. I have also

decided to take my dog to the park and walk with him. He is old and lazy (like

me!) but at least it will be something. My neighborhood is too hilly for me to

attempt at his point. And like the old joke - it is uphill in both directions

from my house - literally. I have to find something since I ave closed the pool

now.

Thanks for all the comments. I am just trying to get back on track like I was

earlier this summer.

Thanks!

I actually track everything in a spreadsheet and use a rolling ten-day average

for all of my nutrition goals. (I am an engineer by trade - translation N-E-R-D

- LOL)There is some flexibility there but that may be what I need to do. I seem

to lose best when I have a high calorie day thrown in the mix. I actually had a

doctor once that dieted Mon - Fri and ate what he wanted on the weekend. Of

course, over time, as he lost weight his " wants " change to healthier options. He

lost around 80 pounds doing this Mon - Fri thing. I have trouble getting started

back when I do something like that, though. I may need to mix it up a little,

though.

I called myself having a " bad " food weekend this weekend. Yesterday, I put

everything into the tracker anyway and my calories for both days were within 20

calories of goal each day! I was off on some of the other goals like sodium and

fiber. It was just amazing to me, though, that without planning, measuring,

trying whatever you want to call it I was spot on my calorie goal. Talk about a

rut!
