So sitting still is a one. (I'm not sure if typing is a two.) That times something else is enough to give you amount of calories burned.

Awesome post. Where do I start? Exercise goals for 2010 for me: to actually get back to the gym and start exercising again. My fitness program in 2009 was an epic fail. And each and every day, I've felt the pains of not doing something about it. I will have a blog post about this very soon. #5 on your list above... I know that well, since I did a similar rebellious phase both my freshman and sophomore year of high school. Mostly drug related. I'm sure I will blog about it in great detail about that someday (i did allude to it in <a href="http://www.banalleakage.com/2008/12/18/the-nine-layers-of-marty/" rel="nofollow">this post</a>) Wow. Awesome post. Where do I start?

Rome, though, does NOT surprise me at all. And I love the pic w/ Random Gatto...so sweet (love kitties!!!). Just finishing up my 100 Things post - feels so, well, narcissistic, but going with it, since it seems to be blogosphere tradition... yes, I really wondered what else you could add, but loved what you came up with. Re: the whole exercise thing - it's no wonder people say "I'm not doing it!" So darn confusing..sheesh! Excuses, though... love your comment, "If I feel like crap, I won't work out at all." Now THERE'S a great training tip! HA HA No Road ID?? What happened there, Santa??? You might like to know then, that the Turtles blog giveaway has some 'options' to it, and one of those includes a gift certificate for Road ID, so if you STILL don't get one from Brie's giveaway, just know that all hope is NOT lost. :-) Oh, and yes, I have some goals for 2010, which includes running 500+ miles (up for the Pay it Forward 500 Mile Club challenge?... details are now posted). Other goals are still in progress....I'm always a work in progress. LOL Hugs from Orlando!

But it's nice to see the numbers. :D And I can't help but feel that breaking up the amounts of exercise over a period of days would be more beneficial then clumping it all together into one day, but that's just a theory of mine. ;) .-= Author's last blog post... <a href="http://slowthingsdown.wordpress.com/2010/01/01/s-u-s-h-i/" rel="nofollow">S-U-S-H-I</a> =-.

I feel like they say just a little bit more about who you are :) I haven't changed my name yet...not sure if I will. I like your idea of the middle name thing... Anyway, as for exercise... I tend to get way too attached to the "rules" about how much to exercise. I've found that it really varies from person to person. I am not a cardio person. Maybe one day...but right now, I don't need to burn calories like crazy, and I have terrible knees. Some people wouldn't consider what I do (light yoga, walking) a "work out," but it seems to work just fine for me :) .-= Author's last blog post... <a href="http://backfromanorexia.blogspot.com/2009/12/recipe-of-week-oatmeal-cookies.html" rel="nofollow">Recipe of the week: Oatmeal cookies :)</a> =-.

Um, duh. Couldn't they have studied like 2 hours vs 4 hours or something more reasonable? Great random facts too - I think the smashed first car is an interesting story, but only because it was the safe half to have hit. Oh, and I'm with you on the name change. The fiance and I have discussed it several times. I love my last name, he hates his, I think it's too much work to change, his trust fund may not payout if he changes his name or if I keep mine, we could pick a random third party name... just too much to make the decision an easy one. ps.

Going by how I feel usually determines how much exercise I do for the day/week. Although.. I have been slacking a bit and would like to get my lazy butt moving more! Love the random facts. :) My brother's first car was a burgandy Oldsmobile and if he hadn't torn the inside apart, it probably would have been my first car too. I did sort of mentally thank him for doing that though as I wasn't overly keen on driving it. Still, it would have been nice to get a free car. PS.
