BodyBug

I've got a Body Bug (you know those things they wear on The Biggest Loser) and I love it. Reason being, that it is very motivating to just plain keep moving. Because it all adds up. My goal has been to try to burn 2800 cals. a day. Now on a day with a workout in I usually get to about 2600 and I have to go above and beyond housework to get it up to 2800. One of my personal downfalls is that so many of the extracurriculars I do involve sitting. I'm a big reader and scrapbooker, I enjoyed getting together with friends and talking, I play around on the computer and work with pictures alot. I sew, I tutor, I mentor, I play the piano, all of the above are done on my rear end. Well, in my effort to live better, I've been adding little jobs to my regular routine and they are really adding up. For instance, last night, in stead of just doing the dishes, I also cleaned and reorganized several drawers in my kitchen. Anyways, I went over 3000 burned calories yesterday. First time ever! So now I'm going to regularly think about the fact, that every extra little job I do, helps me become a healthier person. Plus, the more active I am, the less obsessed I am with snacking.....
