        Yep. NY state, even as progressive as the state can be it always grabs attention. People are amazed at how good I am at taking care of my kids and usually put gender into the equation while doing so. Even when we lived in NYC it seemed weird to people.

        Ehh, 5 miles (at the average pace of 10min/mile) burns 776 calories for 200lbs. That’s an entire large McDonald’s Double Quarter Pounder meal with calories to spare.

          The funny part that comes after is that the human body is built for pure efficiency, and tries to offset burned calories by subconciously moving less throughout the rest of the day.

          So in total, you won’t actually have burned an extra 776
