* Do a cost/benefit anaylsis, to see if its really worth it
* Think: Would I do this if ____ were here with me?
A good example of cost / benefit was learnt on the stairclimber. It takes a mere 2 minutes to gobble down a danish and milkshake (say.. 1500 calories?)
It takes 20 minutes of really hard work to burn a measly 200 calories!
So.. considering how much time / effort it takes to wipe your slate clean, is it really worth the 2-5 fleeting minutes enjoyment of an averah?
