I found this information in a magazine article I was reading-

How many calories are burned walking one mile?

This will vary depending on the individual, speed walked, terrain, etc. An average is 100 calories per mile.


I am counting calories to make sure I have 600 calories a day. I walk an hour a day and that is suppose to average four miles with my pedometer. If this is true; I should look like a zipper when I turn sideways and stick out my tongue. But it ain't happening. hahaha I know, I know, the article says it depends on certain things. I just thought it was interesting.

I have my first poison ivy rash. I was surprised that it didn't show up Thursday when I was working in the yard. It shows up after two days and after two baths. I know that is poison ivy because one of my sons always had bouts of it. But I never had to worry about it; until now.

Fat, sassy, robins have been sunning their feathered bodies in the yard. They are suppose to be a sign of warm weather. Why are they hanging around when the wind chill is twenty degrees? I hope they will be tweeting about warm weather real soon.

Back to kitchen for me, the oven timer is beeping.
