The Lunch of Calorie-Burning

Posted by: icagirl on: July 30, 2008

Today is Wednesday, therefore, the day in which I call my Dad during lunch.  Today was no exception, unless you count the exception that he actually called me first, while I was getting into the elevator to go downstairs and talk to him, whilst walking around downtown.  Calories burned while walking around downtown talking to my Dad = 85.

Dad sounded pretty good and better than the last few weeks or so, which makes me happy.  I tried to think of what I wanted for lunch and then decided what I wanted could only be found in that strange cafe that was about ten blocks away.  Calories burned on my way to get lunch = 45.

Woohoo!  Made it to the cafe, found the salad I wanted and ordered.  Now, had to make a mad dash back to work, but was stopped by Mendy (cool chick from work who I don’t really speak to as she was promoted and her office moved to the next floor, so we don’t really run into each other) and had a discussion about the expense versus the availability of quality food because we work in the city.  It was one of those crazy-fast-talking conversations where both parties are aware they are on a street corner with both headed the opposite direction.  Calories burned while speed-walking and then chatting = 25.

Finally back at work, I sat down to eat, a total of 215 yummy and delicious calories.  So, 215 – 25 – 45 – 85 = 60 calories net.  I guess that’s pretty good, not that it matters that much.  I just found myself thinking about that stuff…  Okey Dokey.
