Day 297: 265 lbs

I gained a couple pounds yesterday. That's mostly because I gave myself permission to have a big dinner, and wound up consuming about 3,000 calories for the day (double my quota).

Why did I do that?

Because I spent three hours yesterday afternoon splitting firewood. No joke. I'm determined to get the firewood cleared off our driveway before we go on vacation in a week, and so I spent the whole afternoon splitting (got it done, too).

According to the exercise table I found, splitting firewood is one of the most intense exercises out there, and burns about 20 calories per minute. So I burned something like 3,600 calories on that little project.

So I think I deserved a treat.

I am a little sore this morning, though.
