No formal exercise today but plenty of walking and driving. I spent about 3 hours driving today so was curious to see how many extra calories I burnt compared to if I had just watched TV or sat outside. Surprisingly I burnt an extra 90 calories by driving during those 3 hours, not a great deal but it all counts!
Nothing else to say today so I will sign off.
Until tomorrow...

You mean like driving in the car? Does it really burn more than just sitting on the couch? That would be cool. I live in Los Angeles so with the traffic and how spread out everything is I easily spend an hour in the car every time I leave the house.
Yep, driving a car, but I suspect you need to be actively driving rather than stuck in traffic. I just googled it and there it was. About 30 calories per hour more than sitting.
I'm not particularly active in the car. I have an automatic and power steering, but I do change the radio station often. I'm thinking that burns 1 more calorie per hour than sitting. :)
