Activity Points

As a beginner, they want you to have about 14 activity points a week.  Activity points are earned by exercising.  The thing is, anything can be exercise, it doesn't necessarily have to be done at the gym or aerobics in front of the tv.  Anything that is more than your usual activity counts toward activity points.  I have actually been doing some exercises at home that I found on the Weight Watchers website for toning. Those have been earning me about 2 activity points a day.  Today, I earned 9 activity points.  I didn't even do anything I would really consider exercise.  I painted the living room in our new house.  2 hours of painting indoor walls equals 9 activity points!  How cool is that!  I'm excited to see what else I can convert into activity points.  The best part?  You can eat your activity points!  More activity means more food!  I have yet to eat any of my activity or bonus points (you get 49 bonus a week to start) because I have been so satisfied with just my normal daily points allowance.
