I really think that is it Karla, lots of extra NEAT that I know I am not getting. I think you are more energetic than I am and probably just busier over all, running around to get things done. While that is something I certainly have control over, sitting in a chair knitting or reading for a few hours at a time is part of how I love my life. So, I can choose to not do those things and be more active and burn more calories or I can choose to sit on my butt and just love what I'm doing and say ah, screw the NEAT. Then there are the days I'm working on a project at work that keeps me glued to my seat, and I've burned so few calories during that time, that no amount of after work NEAT is going to give me a decent burn. When I got home from work last night my bf invited me to go grocery shopping with him. I'd done my shopping the day before but I went with him anyway all in the interest of NEAT--I even told him I only went with him for the extra calorie burn. I think perhaps all the moving around you do in your life also suits your personality.
