Cleaning Calories

Uncategorized

9 Aug

My day is completely backwards!

First, I had broccoli for breakfast.

Then, I had pancakes in the afternoon.

And I was craving a turkey sandwich for dinner!IMG_7324 (800x533)

I paired it with some green bean fries and a pickle. Hit the spot.IMG_7311 (800x533)

This afternoon I finally set aside some time to clean. I wore my bodybugg and turns out I burned over 350 calories!

Plus, it inspired me to rearrange the entire furniture set up. Our condo looks like a new place now!IMG_7326 (800x533)

I have an early client tomorrow. I’ll see ya in the morning!

    I usually don’t comment on food/fitness blogs just to say something looks good, but that turkey sandwich looks the bomb. I want to reach through the screen and grab it, for real.

        Super dumb question and maybe I missed it and it’s leftovers… but can you get turkey like that already cut, or did you roast a whole bird at some point in the past few days? Seriously, it looks like Thanksgiving leftover turkey. So good! If you can buy turkey that looks like that pre-packaged or from the deli counter, I have to know! (I also don’t eat meat that much, so I’m blaming my ignorance on that!)

          It was thick cut roasted turkey from Trader Joe’s. It’s already cooked and sliced (because I would have no idea how to do it myself).

          If you don’t have a TJ’s I think you can get it at the deli counter (but I wouldn’t know what to ask for).

          Not a dumb question at all, if I wouldn’t have stumbled upon this ingredient I would have not known where to get it.

            Thanks, Monica! I might have to make a trip to Trader Joe’s the weekend to satisfy my now crazy craving! They make everything so easy, don’t they?

    I can never convince myself to get into deep cleaning. Maybe thinking of it as a workout and killing two birds with one stone will work!

    I wish I could think of housecleaning as a workout, then maybe I’d enjoy it more. I just have a block on it. That’s a great calorie burn.

    I knew cleaning was a workout! Seriously I’m always a sweaty mess after cleaning the floor or the bathroom.

    Another interesting calorie burner? My aunt has a Body Bugg and told me that when she flat-irons her hair she burns over 150 extra calories! 😛

    I wore my body bugg while grocery shopping once and I was surprised to see how many calories I burned (walking around, reaching/bending to get items, carrying and off loading bags). House chores are a great way to stay fit, I just don’t do them enough 😛

    Cleaning and shopping are two very worth workouts! 🙂

    People underestimate how many calories you can burn from cleaning. I mean, Cinderella did it– why can’t I?
