Somewhere, I found counts of calories burned for the type of yard work done. This isn't the chart I had in mind, but ]]>here's one]]>.
It takes energy to pull weeds, dig holes to plant pansies, spread landscape mix, roll out the hose, water said pansies, lol!
My personal take on why it takes so many women to lose those last few pounds is twofold: the body has plateaued at its fat burning efficiency level and you need to up the caloric intake and change up the exercise to trick the body into more fat burn. I also think that too many people get bored with their dietary regimens and start slipping in the stuff they had deprived themselves of for a long time. Deprivation doesn't work; reworking your favorite foods does.
