Outside Vs. Inside Cardio

Okay let me just start off by saying, I HATE exercising... can anyone relate? I mean, not only do I just NOT like it, I LOATHE it. BUT.... I know I need to do it.
For the longest time, I tried working out indoors because I hated being outside, having passer byers go by and stare at me sweating, and jiggling everywhere. Uncomfortable. So I'd try doing my treadmill inside but always found that once I got real tired I just quit and got off.....

WELL, today (since I don't have a treadmill anymore) I was walking outside and I started to get really tired and wanted to stop, but then I thought.... PSHT, I can't just STOP. I'll be here in the middle of the road. I will at least have to turn my butt around and walk all the way back home. Sooooooo, it dawned on me... outside is soooooo much better, because I can go until I can't stand it anymore (the point where i'd get off the treadmill) and then I can turn around then, and STILL get more exercise, by having to go all the way back home. LOVE that.

P.S. I SOOOO desperately want cake. : (
