Cleansing heat.
An interesting thing happened this morning while I was cleaning the house.
Even as the temperature outside stayed pretty much the same, at 40 F, the temperature inside rose by 4 degrees to 65 F between start and finish - even though I have not had the heat on yet this year. I guess it's true that a thorough house cleaning really does burn as many calories as a good workout, because I can't think from where else the heat could come from - it's not like I was baking or anything that could add heat the room.
