How to avoid overwriting heading row in Excel after my VBA code runs

I attempted to write some code to insert a blank row after each change of value in column B. I also change the fill color to grey, add the text "Totals:" to column C and right justify it. I still have one bug. It overwrites the header (column labels) to add the grey bar and totals. Can someone please help me with this? I only write VBA every once in a while so I can get stumped easily. Here's the code:
Code:
Sub InsertRowsAtValueChange()

Dim Rng As Range
Dim WorkRng As Range
On Error Resume Next
xTitleId = "Make sure value is $B:$B "
Set WorkRng = Application.Selection
Set WorkRng = Application.InputBox("Range", xTitleId, WorkRng.Address, Type:=8)
  Cells.Select
    Selection.Columns.AutoFit
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
For i = WorkRng.Rows.Count To 2 Step -1
    If WorkRng.Cells(i, 1).Value <> WorkRng.Cells(i - 1, 1).Value Then
        WorkRng.Cells(i, 1).EntireRow.Insert
        WorkRng.Cells(i, 1).EntireRow.Interior.Color = RGB(201, 196, 205)
        WorkRng.Cells(i, 3).Value = "Totals: "
        WorkRng.Cells(i, 3).HorizontalAlignment = xlRight


    Application.Goto Reference:="Macro1"
    End If


Next


End Sub

Before the code runs, the first row contains column headers. Please let me know if you need sample data. Thanks!
 

Excel Facts

Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.
I don't see anything in the posted code that would cause the overwrite, unless it is in Macro1, which is called with the GoTo statement. but you didn't post that macro, so can't tell for sure/

Thanks JLGWhiz! I removed the line : Application.Goto Reference:="Macro1"
and now the header row isn't overwritten. The thing is, I don't have a "Macro1" so I'm surprised an error wasn't thrown. I had that line leftover from a very early attempt. Thanks again!

Glad you worked it out.
