Yesterday, I opted to do a bit of gardening in place of my 20MAS. I put in 3.5 hours of "general gardening" according to Fitday.com and when I plugged that into their system I allegedly burned 851 calories! Does that seem right? This is what I did for the 3.5 hours.

Moved & reset 10# retaining wall blocks approx 40 blocks (about 1 hour)
Dug out plants and relocated about 6 plants 20# each (those damn periennials just never stop!) (about 30 minutes)
Pulled out massive quantities of weeds and sod (about 1.5 hours)
Spread out heavy (water logged hay bales) mulch (about 30 minutes)

I know I didn't eat enough yesterday to replace what I burned doing my gardening and I'm feel pooped out this morning. Hence, I'm moving my UBWO til after work today.

I knew that gardening is a wonderful exercise I just had no idea how many calories it burns!

Thanks,
