does shoveling snow count?

I have not been exercising much at all lately. And I've been eating out a lot. But I have shoveled lots of snow. Does that count?

Over the weekend we had about 8 inches. Philly had about 15. I did three sidewalks, two parking spaces, the path thru my yard and the garage. I did the sidewalks three times. I'd rather shovel two to three inches three times than  eight inches ones.We also had a lesser snow about a week earlier. That time I just did the sidewalks.

I  did one walk with Betsy and the dogs last week. And I did the stairs maybe once each week.

I also hiked up the trail and cut a Christmas tree. Does that count?

Nope. It's all smoke and mirrors.

Next week I have off and I've got to come up with a winter schedule. The First Night run/walk is the 31st and Betsy and I are doing it together.

I need motivation to keep me going thru winter. So I will sign up for the stair climb I mentioned before in Wilkes Barre. And perhaps a Philly one too or the Empire State building. (Beats paying $20!)
