Something interesting – ALL of my overweight clients have house keepers to clean their houses. In fact, I too have looked into a house keeper BUT after this blod how could I give up the opportunity to burn some extra calories. Now that I am over 40 I find it harder to keep my weight down so I will embrace "cleaning" with a new attitude!

I'm glad to see this post. I have been a fidgeter for as long as I can remember. I even asked a fitness trainer how many extra calories am I burning, his reply was, don't bother, it's not much at all. I didn't believe him. I fidget in the evening while watching tv. I bounce my feet and lower legs up and down and even when I go to bed, my feet are still going if I can't get to sleep. It drives my Husband crazy but it makes me feel good.

That’s interesting and also very doable. Definitely will keep this in mind as I go through the day.
