We are on our way to go eat Zaba's for dinner (yum!) with my hubby's best friend, so I am going to make this quick....er lol.
Today I did heavy cleaning. HEAVY. Heavy like when we first moved in here. I scrubbed both bathrooms head to toe...err, wall to wall (I don't think my bathroom has any toes) and the kitchen as well. I got in a pretty good workout. Because I knew I would count my cleaning as a workout, I was aware of it...so I did some lunges while I was drying the floor w/ the towel (not necessary, but I did it for exercise) and scrubbed a little harder, just to get a better workout. I stopped after about 1.5 hours and took a small break (turning off my HRM) and then finished the kitchen and mopped. I did 2.5 hours of heavy cleaning and burned 865 calories. Not bad for cleaning! Keep that in mind the next time you are scrubbing, mopping and/or cleaning. House cleaning is a great workout! (so is mowing the lawn!).
Hope you all have a blessed Sunday! I'm slow to catch up on my emails and comments so I apologize!
Make it count!
I can do this. I am a star.
