Hey everyone I hope you had a fantastic evening.  Mine turned out a little unexpected,  what was supposed to be a fun party turned into me hanging out at a friend’s house with her strange relatives.  It is always nice however to be reminded that everyone has strange relatives.

As for 2009, it got off to an awesome start.  I took the dog I am sitting (a golden retriever/great dane mix – pictures soon) out for a hike and an hour later my muscles were aching, but I felt like I had accomplished something!  My friend Sabrina, who is joining me in our oath to be not so fat this year, found an awesome website that I’ve bookmarked CaloriesPerHour.com

Its a great reminder for those of us who think we are only burning calories if we are running.  It was fun to go through the Activity Calculator and see how many calories I can burn using my actual weight and duration to calculate.

My favorite was bailing hay at 798 calories per hour, which assumes of course that someone that weighs as much as I do could actually bail hay for an hour without falling over.

The calories you burn while on the computer, playing musical instruments, and generally going about your daily life can be found here as well.  See, I just burned 25 calories typing this post!
