BuffyBear's Journal, 13 Oct 11

Buffy your a hoot..any kind of walking is good..its just more pleasant out side...Naw your haven't been that bad..I know I have heard some of that...LOL..Thanks for the song on my journal...have a good day sweetie 

Bitching and griping is an excellent calorie burner--keep up the good work. 

Bren - Your comment this morning reminded me of that song! Some of these grocery stores are so huge I feel like I've had a work out by the time I get checked out.  

Furthest South - Didn't know I was burning calories - When I find something I'm good at, I stick with it.  

Thanks Buffy....you just reminded me of something! At my higher weights, I used to dread going into some of those big places....first the l-o-n-g walk from the car to the store, then all that walking in the huge store itself. Inevitably, I'd forget something w-a-y over on the other side and have to take another l-o-n-g walk over there to get it and then hike my way back to the car after checkout. Now, at a lighter weight, I don't even think about it, and, in fact, even park a bit further away to get a bit more exercise in! Wow, how things have changed!! Hope you're having a great day. 

Buffy did you get my PM about WOE ? Also don't you drink almond milk, what's it like ?  

You could bitch while walking through the store and burn lots of calories. 

Good evening, Buffy! I have been reading through your last few journals and I have really not been able to comment on your situations. I'm sorry you've missed your walks in the park because of rain. It's been rainy and cool up here also. I agree with everyone else - grocery shopping is really good exercise. And believe me, I have learned over the past several months that griping and bitching definitely are wonderful for burning calories. I can't think of any other reason why I've lost any weight at all! Have a good night! 

I agree nothing wrong with bitching and griping.....as long as you are doing.... 

A little B&G never hurt anybody! Plus, I do agree, shopping has to count for something excercise wise anyway, plus the anxiety level that goes along with it really can get the heart rate up...especially if you go like on a Friday night...miserable experiences I have had on Friday nights! BTW - I usually do plenty of B&G while I am shopping, regardless of the day or time...between other people & prices B&G helps me get through it!
