Boosting our daily allowance

Spring popped up to surprise us today, so we took advantage of it. We went for a short walk to warm up our muscles, then headed for the garden.  An hour or so later, we have a neat and tidy garden, and tucked away some additional calories for later.  Gardening can use up 300-400 calories per hour, and together with our walk, we reckon we've added about 500 calories to our day.  We can either eat/drink these, or they go towards our weight loss.  We have changed the way we think about most 'chores' these days - realising they burn calories, so they are useful.

Before we set out on our walk/gardening, we had a bacon sandwich for lunch.  Simple and delicious, and at around 450 calories, it won't break the calorie bank!!
