Hello, my dears! It’s Alla Sem here. It’s Spring, the perfect time to attend to cleaning out the yard and house. It can be a chore during the process, but once we have our closets organized, the house cleaned, and flowers planted, it feels wonderful.
All of this work can also help you work towards your weight loss goals. Any extra movement burns more calories, and burning more calories on a regular basis results in weight loss. It takes a 250 calorie daily deficit to lose half a pound per week. So why not do some much needed Spring cleaning and burn some calories at the same time?
On my journey from 110 kg to 80 kg, I learned that every bit of movement counts. You don’t have to be in a gym to make progress.

|---|---|
| General Gardening (picking weeds, etc.) | 350-400 |

The Bottom Line
This just goes to show that you don’t have to diet or follow strict meal plans to win at weight loss. You can make small changes and, in this case, get your Spring cleaning done to create that calorie deficit and manage your weight without all the dieting hang-ups.
So put on some music, grab your cleaning supplies, and get moving. Your house will sparkle, and your body will thank you.
With love and belief in you,
Alla Sem
