Why I Work Out

I do love exercise, really I do. But what I love just as much is eating a homemade ice cream sandwich at 2 o'clock on one of the first sunny Sunday afternoons in June and not feeling one ounce of guilt. Now if I had eaten two, I might have felt a twinge of inpropriety. They are rather big and sinful. But just one of the sandwiches -- chocolate-toffee-peanut cookies layered with vanilla and dipped in dark chocolate -- that is just fine by me. Delicious, as a matter of fact.
