Sex...a committment to exercise.

I am still learning about the calorie burning thing... more and more each day. Carmen said once that She was counting the calories burned while washing her car... So I am getting into finding out how many calories that I burn each day going through my daily activities...Shopping, Standing, Walking, Brushing my teeth, Showering, reading, Sitting, resting, sleeping, hairstyling, cooking, washing dishes, foreplay, and sex... I was shocked. Even without working out at all... I burned like 5280 calories today. They say to lose one US Pound, you must burn 3500 more than what you eat. So, if I eat less than 1780 calories today, I'll lose a pound. I wonder if that's accurate. I burned 398 calories driving today, 1743 calories while I slept, 1992 calories sitting or resting, 672 calories shopping, 199 showering, 131 calories walking, and the rest while standing, brushing my teeth, reading... and sex. Turns out it doesn't burn as much calories as I thought... but I will continue to do the research and experiment often.... I found this information on healthstatus.com on the most accurate calories burned estimation calculator. I guess there's one benefit to being morbidly obese... besides the huge boobs... I burn more calories because of my weight. It is fun to calculate... Try it! and Do the Sex research too... It may not burn the most calories but It's the most fun you can have while working out... That's for sure!
