Have you ever seen the TLC series, My Big Fat Fabulous Life (#MyBigFatFabLife)? I just started watching My Big Fat Fabulous Life on TLC recently, and I just love it! Whitney Thore, the star of the show, is so lovable and fun to watch! My Big Fat Fabulous Life show documents the young 30-something’s struggle with her weight and how she navigates through life while weighing about 300 pounds. I don’t have the weight problem that Whitney has, but like Whitney, I have Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) and hypothyroidism, both of which may have contributed to the weight gain I’ve had over the past few years. I am now working to get into shape and work off some pounds! (Especially since I may have to fit into a bridesmaid’s dress in a few months – yikes!) Whitney has been a great inspiration! So, being the DIY/home decor nut that I am, I am happy to see that just working around the house can help me shed a few pounds!
To help, YourGreenPal.com has provided me with this handy infographic that shows how many calories DIY chores around the house can burn!

Are you looking to lose weight this year? I’d love to hear your strategies for burning the calories and getting in shape!
You are more dedicated to me! Grass cutting is my hubby’s job! But, I am in charge of weeding, pruning and I do help do the mulching, etc… which can be a lot of work, too! I am actually looking forward to working outside on some nice spring days in the near future!!
