Calorie Counter

As long as I'm walking I may as well enjoy the weight I may lose!
I found a web site that tells you how many calories you burn walking.

I'm guessing that I walk 3 m.p.h and doing that for an hour means I would burn 188.99 calories. Considering I just ate out at TGIFridays with my Mom... I need to walk more miles!!

Here is the website if you want to check it out

This was interesting and a bit sad...
