You know how sometimes you just want a donut? This is a feeling I actually have a lot–basically every time I walk past the bakery section of the grocery store. I usually don’t give in, but sometimes I do because, you know, everything in moderation\u2014even donuts<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"burn<\/a><\/p>\n

On a recent trip to the grocery store I gave in. And it was totally worth it. I picked a cake donut that had chocolate frosting and sprinkles because if you’re going to go, go big. I savored the treat, making sure I wasn’t distracted while eating. I really wanted to enjoy every bite. And I did. Indulging at the start of my shopping trip probably helped me keep from filling my cart with unnecessary items. I purchased a bunch of produce and some kitchen staple but nothing baked or packaged.<\/p>\n

In my mind, eating this donut was definitely the lesser of two evils\u2014one occasional indulgence versus a package of cookies that would be eaten day after day for a week. Still, there was a price to pay, of about 400 calories. (Wow! That number shocked me–I would have guessed more like 275.)<\/p>\n

So, how could I have burned off the extra 400 calories?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"burn<\/a><\/p>\n

I could have grocery shopped for 131 minutes.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"burn<\/a><\/p>\n

I could have swam<\/a> <\/strong>for 42 minutes.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"burn<\/a><\/p>\n

Or I could have used the elliptical machine<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0for 37 minutes.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I would up swimming. Only 3 month months until the outdoor pool opens!<\/p>\n
