NSV, but still pretty cool :)

Today was the day it all came to me...

I have been bored, demotivated, and lacking a serious hobby. Just the same old stuff, day in, day out. Then I came to a realization. How much fun would it be to make fitness and cooking healthy recipes my new hobby? Wouldn't it be cool to pick up running again, try new weight programs, work at different cardio videos?

Now it's starting to change more from being a weight loss thing into something challenging and fun. Of course I want the weight loss goals, but I think it would be super neat to be able to run 10 miles or something like that. Or become so good at a cardio video so that I'm pushing myself to perfection, instead of just trying to keep up.

Anyways, I just thought I'd share. I think it will make working out a lot more fun too

I love that you are posting this. I had no hobbie for such a long time and now my hobby is fitness, lol. My husband makes fun of me but, i love it. I'm always researching diet and exercise and tweaking this or that to be better. I'm building myself a gym in the second living room right now.....

My wife's family (all quite thin naturally, I might add) give me good-natured ribbing every time I ask for the nutrition information when we arrive at a restaurant. I also kept a tiny piece of paper in the kitchen during Christmas to jot down everything I was eating so I could log it on MFP later.

So, I suppose that fitness and health have become my hobby too. I find it entertaining.

Good for both of you! I think fitness and healthy eating are great hobbies to have.

Well, I did pick up a second hobby a while ago....wine collecting LOL!

But I can't drink those, they have to be cellared for quite some time

Carter- that is great that you jot down what you eat so you will remember what to log in later. I have found that taking a picture of the food with my cell phone helps me log food later as well. It helps me remember just how much I ate and what I ate. Just an added tip:) Great job everyone!

I love wine collecting too! Although, we drink what we collect :drinker: So, I guess we don't get the really valuable stuff:bigsmile:
For Christmas Eve, my husband and I went with another couple to a winery. It was a great night!
