Excercise vs Flipflops

Today I walked 3 hours. Then spent a half hour in the pool swimming around in my daughters private swim class as it was parent day. (If it wasn't a private class, I wouldn't have had to work so hard!). I am pooped. I still have a floor to clean, laundry to put away and 2 parent teacher interviews to go to tonight. So Mr. Ferriss says that all this activity counts for bubcass. Zilch. Real excercise is "the application of measurable stimuli to decrease fat, increase muscle, or increase performance". Everything else is "recreation". Recreation? Playing wii for 3 hours while eating potato chips and still wearing your house coat? Recreation. Carrying 20lbs of laundry? Excercise. I think all movement that helps burn calories needs to be declared!! Otherwise, I hate to think that I had a rec day, and no one told me about it. I would have worn flip flops and carried around a martini.

No, I didn't lose weight today. Whatever. I did make it to the grocery store. I purchased the highly recommended foods....saurkraut (you need to have something fermented in order to digest foods better), frozen spinach and wild salt free canned salmon. I bought other stuff too, but these were the staples I was missing. Did I make anything delightful and tasty for dinner that was all about me? No. But I did have two hamburger patties with mustard and onions on a bed of spinach.
