I'll admit to using "journey", but it's always in very specific circumstances: When responding to someone who's being really judgy and a-holish. It flicks a "turn into a passive hippie" switch in me. I'm, all, "Dude. Respect your own journey, man. Stop worrying about what other people are doing". I never actually use that word, ever, in real life. Get me around someone who's acting like a douche, and I suddenly turn into Jeff Bridges.

I get irritated by "toning", anything referring to cleanses, and- most of all- people who repeat catch-phrases and bits of "wisdom" that are not, and never have been, validated by science. "You can't eat before bed!" or "Have you drank all eight cups of water today?!" make me a bit mental. Oh! And I can't stand when someone says they've been exercising for two weeks, are eating at a 500 calorie per day deficit, but have gained five pounds- then asks what they're doing wrong. The question's not bad, but the inevitable response from someone of, "Oh, you've probably just gained muscle" makes my eye twitch.

Walking isn't exercise - that one really gets me

"walking is exercise!"

:noway:

walking is just normal life. congrats on doing the very minimum.

If it elevates your heart rate for at least 15 minutes. It is exercise. Especially for someone who is elderly or overweight.

I just power-walked my *kitten* off for the last hour! It danged well better count as exercise, or my HRM is a lying piece of junk!! (Which reminds me of another peeve- people who take HRMs as gospel or, on the other extreme, those who always have to say, "It's not 100% accurate, yanno..." Yes! I know, okay! It's just the most accurate thing I happen to have on me, and it beats guessing.)

Wow, this thread's making me bitter and cranky. Or, bitter-er and crankier.

"Only water counts as water"

but they use water in coke, so in a 12oz can of diet coke we can log 8oz of water right?

Also, why cant I log sneezes lying down as sit-ups?

Wait, I thought sneezes were like 1/10th of an orgasm? So maybe try logging it under 'sex' instead?

Well, you could log it as 12 ounces of water..

If you believe that soda does not have hydration capabilities, then I just feel bad for you.

And you can, if you want to log one.

Lucky! I like to weigh myself after every one, see how many ounces I lost, yanno. That's how I roll.

FerociousKoala

daisyeyes

Woot Woot not just here but on Facebook too. Please make the woot woot's stop!!!!

Ugh, I hate the woot woot's!!! We're not trains. Also, I don't like when people talk about pinching their fat.....

lexoxoc

can I log house cleaning, yard work, preparing breakfast, taking a dump, or any other everyday activity as exercise calories??? yea this one makes me go up in flames...

^^^^^^^^THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!^^^^^^^^^^

Also, I admit to over-using "journey" when referring to most parts of my life, including weight loss. Perhaps, it's the future therapist in me?
