Calorie Burner: 3 hrs of dance lessons followed by 2.5 hours of social dancing

omgee.
my feet hurt!!

As I may have mentioned in previous posts, I am part of a West Coast Swing community of social dancers.

This evening I was fortunate to have a one hour private lesson, followed by 2x 45 minute lessons where I was the demonstration partner (for the first time ever!), followed by another 2.5 hours of social dancing. It was not quite on the level of World's Largest Disco calorie burning, but from 6pm-11:30pm, I burned about 1081 calories doing all of that.

You know that you've burned a lot of calories in a short span of time when you sort of "hit the wall" and then you'll pretty much eat whatever's put in front of you. I ate a leftover half-sandwich from the food trays that were put out and a handful of truffle candies, then a slice of bread and peanut butter (and a Tylenol) when I got home.
