  1. As you regulars know I am not an exerciser as I am unwilling to do anything to lose weight that I
    can't commit to forever. Two weeks ago we did the every year and a half trip to the laundry matt. We
    do this to wash all comforters/blankets/pillows/coats that won't fit into the washer at home. And
    yes, I have a lot of linens in this department. I also decided that I would wash everything in the
    linen closet, sort it and get rid of what was getting ragged... then I decided to not do the regular
    stuff at home and took it also... We got to the laundry matt at 5:30 PM and didn't leave until after
    1:30 AM the next morning... We sat down twice for 15 minutes and left once for a ten minute car ride
    to get more soap... It was as cold as it gets here and we moved the entire time except for those
    breaks. Just for fun since I had plenty of flex points left I put in for four solid hours of
    laundry, 12 activity points. I knew I was tired but never dreamed it would be that many. I don't
    take activity points for the daily things I do as I think the balance will come there when figuring
    out maintenance. I guess why I am writing this is just to say that even increasing your daily
    activity through chores and moving in general will help your losses. I am still not finding any
    exercise that I can commit to but I am starting to look for something and that is a vast improvement
    to where I used to be.. The result of this washing honestly netted me the 12 points I stated earlier
    and 7 bags of linens for the animal shelter and a bag of wearable clothes for the food pantry to
    hand out. It also helped me to make the decision that we will do this a bit more often now as I have
    far fewer linens and I truthfully have no desire to buy more or frankly to be that tired. Lee

  2. Wowee! That was some job! And you have definitely earned some points for it ;-D Congratulations for
    a job well done ;-D Elaine K

    When I started it was just washing the car, then decorating, then the treadmill and the bike , then
    the weights. It's addictive, though I never thought I'd say that.

    Well done

  5. There just has to be an activity or exercise you'd enjoy at least as much as washing linens at the
    laundromat for 6 hours! If you can commit to a project like that, there's gotta be some form of
    exercise out there with your name on it. After all, marathons are run in less time. LOL

  6. Wow Lee! That's lots of laundry. You must have had energy to spend that day. I think about that much
    laundry and it depresses me, then I don't do any!

  7. I felt a real sense of accomplishment. I love that I helped the entire time
    without giving up and him doing it all. I also love that the closet the
    dirty things were in is organized and clean and the linen closet is cleaned,
    organized, and not over stuffed. I do now need some new towels but I have
    enough of everything else and it is all in nice condition. It just feels so
    good to declutter my house as I declutter my fat, Lee

  13. I really had no choice, it was wash it or sleep on the plastic mattress of
    the water bed, and we just kept at it and had a nice time talking while we
    did it. I usually do all laundry at home as I am super picky. He does do
    handwash for me but that is because I want him to make sure handwash has no
    spots as they are nicer clothes. I actually think the time talking was
    nice, and the side benefit of two very clean very organized closets is just
    excellent, thanks, Lee
