I hope you are all having a safe and successful holiday season thus far. 

As America becomes a more heath and weight conscience society, I am sure we are all thinking about that extra cookie or slice of pie we grabbed around the holidays.  Well, maybe not all of us, but if that’s you, I have a few quick suggestions for shedding those extra holiday pounds while increasing your chances of selling your home. 

I suggest getting outside, raking the leaves, mowing the grass, or shoveling snow as a good way to stay active around the holidays, while also improving the curb appeal of your house.  Whether it is currently on the market, or soon to be next year, the more you can do now the better.  Cleaning and fixing the small things now will save you time, money, and stress when it comes time to show your home, or to have it inspected.

Here are a few quick stats that may motivate you to get some work done around the house: 

• Â
  • Mowing the lawn for half an hour = 150 calories burned.
  • Gardening for 30 to 45 minutes = 150 calories burned.
  • Raking leaves for a half an hour = 150 calories burned.
  • Shoveling snow for only 15 minutes = 150 calories burned.
  • Vacuuming for half an hour = 100 calories burned.
  • Washing windows for 15 minutes = 50 calories burned.
  • Sweeping for 15 minutes = 50 calories burned.
