Re: HORRAY REPLYING TO THE LADIES AND HOUSEWORK

[Guest guest]

I KNOW THERE ARE ALOT OF CALORIES TO BE BURNT DOING JUST THINGS AROUND THE

HOUSE, AND THIS IS WHAT I HAD BEEN DOING ALL ALONG AND FELT PRETTY GOOD THAT I

COULD PUT ON THE MUSIC MOP MY WOOD FLOORS, VACUMN, DUST WITH A LITTLE TWIST

ADDED HERE AND THERE. BUT NOW I PAY DEARLY FOR DOING THIS IN A TIMELY MANNER

THAT BURNS ANYTHING EXCEPT WHAT ENERGY I MAY HAVE HAD TO DO SOMETHING FUN LATER

IN THE DAY. I DID THOUGH HAVE FOR THE FIRST TIME THE BEST DAY YET. FELT

SOMEWHAT NORMAL WHATEVER THAT IS. EVEN WENT TO THE STORE. THOUGH IT WAS PACKED

AS EVERYONE WAS BRACING FOR THIS ??? SNOW STORM WE HAVE HAD. I FOUND MYSELF IN

A FOG WITH SO MANY PEOPLE AROUND. ANYWAY, SOME OF US HAVE TROUBLE NOW DOING THE

CALORIE BURNING THINGS WE ONCE DID, AND HOUSECLEANING WAS MY THERAPY!, I HAVE

ALWAYS LOVED CLEANING, AND EVERYONE THAT KNOW ME TEASES HOW BAD I AM ON DOING IT

NON STOP BUT LATELY IT IS A 2 DAY CHORE. I ALSO TRIED YARDS LAST SUMMER AND TO

MUCH, SO WILL TRY THE YOGA. GOOD FOR

THOSE WHO CAN CONTINUE WITH CALORIE BURNING AROUND THE HOUSE, KEEP IT UP AS IT

IS A HELP. SHARON

Researchers say it is! The great news is that chores help you burn calories

while you get things done! If you do them often enough, you won't have to go to

the gym! Try turning on the tunes and moving briskly; add squats, biceps curls,

and other moves as you go. You can burn 200 calories an hour mopping, vacuuming,

or washing windows � the same as medium-intensity aerobics; 400 calories per

hour of mowing the lawn � the same as cycling; and 500 calories per hour of

washing and waxing the car � the same as jumping rope! So don't delay! Get

busy with that to-do list today!

Loved cleaning? :::: feeling sharon's brow for signs of fever and

delirium :::: ;D

Seriously, it makes perfect sense to split it into 2 days. We find

ways of coping, and that often means that tasks that used to be done

quickly and in one big push take a lot longer and must be split.

Witness my French drain and stepping-stone path in my side yard, with

the excavation done essentially a cup at a time, over several weeks.

On Sunday I had company. Friday, I vacuumed and cleaned the rugs and

straightened. Sat. I went to the grocery store. Sun all that was

left was a couple of hours of food prep and setting out the food,

then I could enjoy myself. Of course I had a flare Sunday, but

enjoyed myself anyway. I will say that if I were working, I would

not have been able to do any of it, including having people over.

Z (now why couldn't the cats have furballs and throw up on

the rugs *before* I cleaned them?!?)
