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
