Found this on the web amy!;) Shiver for an hour is good!

Why do I find myself shivering when I get cold?
Shivering is involuntary muscle tensing that generates heat and offers a warming effect. When you first become slightly chilled (such as when watching a football game), you'll find youself doing an isometric type of muscle tensing that can increase your metabolic rate two to four times. As you get further chilled, you'll find yourself hopping from foot to foot and jumping around. This is Nature's way to get you to generate heat and warm your body. If you become so cold that you start to shiver, these vigorous muscular contractions generate lots of heat--perhaps 400 calories per hour. Such intense shivering quickly depletes your muscle glycogen stores and drains your energy. This is when you’ll be glad you have some emergency food in your pocket!
 
Hey chica! Hope your week gets better, each day is a new start right? So make the best of it and do what I did tonight (I WAS IN HEELS THOUGH! -hey I want sexy claves too lol), if you can't find anyone to walk with or its too cold outside- powerwalk the 24 hour Wal-Mart :)

Hmmm... I wonder how many calories you burn shivering? I'm in my sweats, fuzzy slippers ;) (cause I'm a fuzzy slippers kind of gal) and a blanket! Can't seem to get warm. *shivers*

When i was younger and stupider (ok so it wasnt that far back then) there was a night club i went to that had a KMart next dooor. at xmas the KMart would go 24/7 so people could go shopping. Some friends and I would go playing on kiddie bikes and pogo sticks whilst semi drunk at 3am after leaving the nightclub at times ... those were the days ... :D

Yeah we got kicked out from time to time too :D

My former retailer self shudders at the thought, but my former late night party self finds that hilarious.

I used to work at a game store, so at 3 AM we would break into my store, borrow some kites, and fly them in the mall parking lot whilst the parking lot zamboni guys yelled at us.
 
Goooood Morning everyone!!:D:D:D I's raining quite hard so no walking for now... guess it will be a weight and yoga day.

Don't thing I burned the 400 cals, Pinkity, but I did get a some groovy frostbite! ;) lol.. jk. I firgure out the problem though... helps to turn of the fan. :D

I always wanted to play with the toys in Toy R' Us, ride the Power Wheels and stuff... but I'm too much of a chicken to do it. lol @ zamboni - what a fun word.
 
Another booty shaking milestone y'all....

I did 2 miles today! TWO.. one, two. 2!!!.. my time was great - 20 miles per mile (with a little rest after 1 1/2 miles) and it was constent - it didn't drop at all the last 1/2 mile. And I did it in the rain. I look like a drowned rat now... but I am the happies & cutest drowned rat EVER! lol.. WOOHOO!

I gotta give credit to Trucker. I was going to skip the walk because of the rain but then I read our resident guru's post - "do something strong today". It struck a nerve... so I did. Thanks Toots!! ;):D:D
