This weekend was a good example of how you can burn 100+ calories from a simple walking trip.
On Saturday, about 200 net calories burned by walking at multiple grocery stores in the pursuits of sales. In the process, picked up 6 pineapples. My toddler says "I like that." At 50 calories per 100 grams, I like that too. I've already eaten a few hundred grams. Feels nice. There's a serving bowl sitting in the fridge of some cut up. Enjoyed some frozen pineapple in yogurt this morning and may make a pineapple smoothie soon. Plus, I picked up 8 canisters of unsalted roasted peanuts. I'll be turning that into homemade peanut butter. I wonder if it goes with pineapple? It is great with banana.
On Sunday, took advantage of the nicer temperature of 50s and took the family to the Indianapolis Zoo. I burned over 100 net calories walking through part of the zoo. Could have done more, but started to border on children's nap time and storm clouds in the sky. Plus, my toddler is more interested in playing on the playground area and slide than the animals. Good exercise for him, but not so much for me. The sacrifices we make for children.
Even more calories burned on cooking and around the house and yard projects, but I wanted to highlight the simplicity of walking trips.
