You certainly will have burned some calories, but being slightly out of breath means that the excercise was aerobic, made your heart and lungs work just a little bit harder........and you continue burning the fat after you stop exercising...but not if you hoe into a Mars bar or a bag of crisps.
Good luck Homer with your quest to lose weight and get fit.
I used to walk to some good music......something with a good beat which kept my pace up.
