We had 15-16 inches of snow today by my calculations. I went out several times to shovel. In front of the garage the drifts were 24 to 32 inches. It was deep.I won't be walking anytime soon. Many of the properties don't shovel. It will be hazardous until March!
So today I shoveled. And shoveled. And shoveled. I joked that I burnt 100 calories. Might be closer to the truth than I think. I looked online. Some sites said 20 calories a minute. Some asked my age and weight and they ranged from 300-650 an hour. One asked if it was light or heavy snow. Light was 12.5 calories, heavy 20, but it only went up to 200 pounds.
I went out and was out at a minimum of half hour each time. For a total of five times, I think. One time, when I did the garage drifts it took an hour.
Don't you find it shocking that nobody can agree. Shouldn't it be as simple as activity x minutes worked = total. Simple, right?
Maybe I need one of the electronic things you wear on your arm. Not. That would be so stressful. I'd be checking it constantly.
