How Many Points In House Painting?

One of the features of the Weight Watchers program is exercise points. If you do exercise, you "earn" a certain number of points to add to your daily allotment. This has kept me from being in violation of Weight Watchers points limits countless times. In fact, its the only way I can successfully come out with the number right at the end of the day most of the time.

Anyhow, getting my apartment ready for moving in, painting, packing, and searching fruitlessly for the correct location of a certain non-profit which accepts women's clothes for a job readiness program, (with three bags of clothes slung around my shoulders in rush hour foot traffic in midtown on Friday, but I'm not bitter) has pre-empted much intentional excercise. Not having plates and pots and pans readily available has led me to eat lots of frozen food, a thing I haven't done since I worked two jobs right after college. So I think the weightloss thing might be a bust for now. However, last week I did make note of my activity in the Online Points Tracker. When you do an exercise, you can look it up in their database and enter it as an activity that you have completed and it will automatically add the correct amount of points to your daily allotment. Packing, painting, and carrying shopping bags full of old clothes do not appear in the database however. Window washing does, oddly enough. Last weekend, figuring that painting was at least as strenuous as window washing, I logged three hours of window washing into my Weight Watchers record, which yielded me seven points. So we'll see.

Tonight, are the final touch ups in painting, mostly to cover for the times in which I got sloppy or tired, and trying to clean the apartment, which although much prettier since the floors are done, still looks a bit like a work site.
