So I don't know if any of you have ever heard of negative addiction. I learned about it in my exercise psychology class. We were learning about positive and negative addictions and I realized-oh my gosh, I had a negative addiction. I was so obsessed. I lost 40 lbs in 2 months. So today was sooo stressful and I downed a few of my daughters fruit by the foots and a couple fiber one bars.
So this week I have upped my workouts to where I am doing 2-3 hours 3 days a week and the rest 1 hour. I didn't see a huge problem with this. Well I came home from bootcamp tonight and ate a reasonable dinner and got my ladies ready for bed. I was going to do a scone run tonight, I get one pumpkin scone from starbucks a year-only one. So I am sitting there deciding, do I run or go get the scone. Then hubs pulls out a picture I haven't seen for 5 years of me at 250 lbs. HOLY COW-I put my running shoes on and did 2.4 miles-haha. I can't help it and it made me realize how much I LOVE running. Oh my gosh it clears my mind. So negative addiction, positive addiction-I don't care. Oh, my boss called me a man tonight, because my arms are getting so huge-haha!!
My name is Jill and I am addicted to working out!!!!

Hi,
My name is Jessie, and I am addicted to working out. Today is my 3rd rest day in the past 2 months...and I snuck in a walk and some crunches when my sister was upstairs.0 -
I love it! I am also addicted to working out. When my 2 month old won't let me put him down, I use him to do arm workouts or do crunches while he does tummy time. I run on my elliptical while he sleeps, and can't wait to run outside again. I live in Alaska and winter is coming so I'm going to wait until next year to brave it0

Addicted! Rode my bike home 27km in the pouring rain last night and felt so good.
Today is a rest day. Listen to me body, today is your rest day!0
