hey guys, im just curious but does anyone else look forward to having a piece of cake ( a small slice ) after dinner time, but you look at your caloric intake and you KNOW youre going to go over...... so you jog for half an hour or something just so you can get some of those calories back?! lol. my boyfriend laughs at me when its like 8pm and im staring at an oatmeal cream pie or a chocolate cupcake so i turn the tv on and run in place for half an hour. gran a plate and serve myself a small serving lol.

just wondering if anyone else does some extreme things like that!
oh and add me if youd like ^_^:tongue:

    Yep, I exercise just for calories sometimes. It actually is a good motivator for me!

    I think lots of people do this, and I agree that it is a motivator for exercise!

    haha! Good to know I'm not the only one. My family looks at me like I'm a fitness obsessed freak when they all have ice cream infront of the tv and I run to the computer and check MFP to see if I have enough calories left to have a little bowl! XD

    All the time. Generally I'll know in advance and work out longer in the morning or right after work. I also try to burn twice what I need to in case I'd like a drink with that.

    I do that all the time!!! Its good to know that others do the same thing!! At least we are learning that we can't just eat whatever we want with no consequences. oh, and I am looking into a smart phone too, for that reason lol

    YEP! Some days you just gotta earn enough for that treat.

    I have had my eye on the June Flavor of the Month at Baskin Robbins since they started advertising it in April. And I have to mow the yard to get it!
