3--To enjoy each calorie burned while working out---'cause it will never, ever be on my body again.

Welcome coolviolet73! Its great to have you joining us. Great job at burning 500 cal. I love your line about burning calories and how those calories will never be on your body again. Great way to look at it.

goldk-Despite posting that you went over, it seems like you had a good day yesterday. Keep up the good work.

Anne4251-Even with going over, it's great you exercised despite the lack of desire and you steered clear of the cookies. It's little steps that make us successful.

lulabellewoowoo-Great job on the time of your miles. Keep up the good work!
