Shoveling snow / points !!!

[KristiKelly]

Okay, I can't take the slipping & sliding and almost busting my butt anymore, so I've just spent an hour shoveling snow & ice. I come inside and calculate my points on my little exercise thingy from WW, 3 - 4 points! You've got to be kidding me!! My hands will not straighten out from holding the shovel, my neck & back are aching, and my arms feel like jelly, that should be at least a days worth of points. I'm so disappointed, I was going to splurge for pizza, but I'd have to shovel for 3 more hours . Thanks for listening!

Sounds like you need a hot tub more than a pizza! Seriously, shoveling is hard work, so take extra good care of you.

Shoveling snow is no sissy stuff. People actually die from shoveling snow because it's so strenuous.

I know it doesn't sound like much, but 3-4 points is decent for exercise. Do you have flex points left. Have the pizza! I have pizza 1-3 times a week. I have veggie pizza and when I know I am going to have it, I mark it in on my palm pilot early in the morning so I know how many points I have left to work with.

Good job on shoveling and earning the points!

Melanie,
That's a great idea! I never thought of entering my dinner points in the morning so I know what I have left for the day. I usually try to save what I think I'll need and writing it down in advance would be so much easier.

I admire you for shoveling the snow. I'm letting the sun do it's job, I really don't like being out in the cold. I know it doesn't sound like many activity points, but remember you really aren't suppose to earn and count but so many per day.

Did you enjoy your pizza last night? If you had flex points and you were really wanting some comfort food, I would have said go for it if I had seen your post last night.

I hope you aren't too sore this morning. Have a great day.
