cleaning.

sorry it's been a few days.  pretty hectic, have a friends wedding tomorrow, i have some crafting to do for it!

anyway, i've been putting around mom's weight watchers account for a few days reading up on activity.  at the meetings, they basically said anything could count as long as you were moving.  i had my doubts on that, but i found a whole list of things that (if you do them long enough) count as activity!  so i've been doing double duty, cleaning my house and burning calories.  i try to do at least a half hour of active house work (sweeping, mopping, vacuuming and scrubbing things) a day, plus a shorter treadmill period.  the treadmill has been really hard on my back and my knees lately, but if i make sure to get in some extra activity in the day, i can cut my time to fifteen or twenty minutes on it and still feel good.

as it is, today i added a bunch of laundry and even for realsies made the bed today and got to a whole hour of straight cleaning.  i tried to even be conscious of where i was moving and i would go the long way around, anything to be moving.  i put it into the activity tracker and it spit me out 5 activity points!  even going on the treadmill for 30 minutes i would only get 4, so i'm actually ahead for the day.  i still may try to get my treadmill time in, but i do have a lot to do to be ready for tomorrow!  i need to craft another gift (mine was kinda lame, so i thought i'd make a little something more to go with it), i need to get my dress out and see if it needs to be cleaned, i need to do my nails, go to walmart and get a gift bag, a card and some pantyhose (and i guess i need to cook dinner at some point). . .

may skip the treadmill and walk an extra lap or two around walmart.  walmart > treadmill.
