House chores burn calories too!

Do you hate making your bed each day or cleaning out your car? Those activities can burn calories too. If you have a clean house you will feel more organized and you might even find that item that you've been looking for. If you replace television watching or face booking with a creative project you'll help your brain out too. Journaling or scrapbooking are considered creative activities. When your brain is involved in a creative project it tends to block out all those worrying thoughts we have. It helps bring the focus inward, maybe even creating a sense of calm.

 Other things you can do while watching TV include stretching or hula hooping during the commercial breaks or between episodes, if you watch shows online. If you are looking to lose weight, the key is expending more energy than calories consumed. So every little bit helps!
