I'm officially calling our group "The Lics".
Ways to identify if you're a Lic.
You have training on your mind while you are supposed to be working.
You go to the gym when your Dr. tells tells you to stay home and rest.
You calculate before you train how many calories you'll have burned.
What else peoples?

Not being able to go to the gym causes so my psychological stress that you can't get anything done because you are counting down the minutes until you can go again.
If you burn less than 1000 calories then you feel like a failure.
You spend more money on work out clothes than you do on regular clothes.0 -
Its cold and snowing and you still go outside and workout
Jump at the chance to mow the lawn to get calorie burn going
Wake up at 5 am to get your workout in no matter how little sleep you got0 -

Spent $120 on my training shoes but only $90 on my work shoes which I'm in more hours of the day.0 -
You'd rather miss a social event than miss a gym session.
You love muscle soreness.
You get pissed when you're working out but not sweating. (on the flip side...you love a nice sweaty t-shirt when you're done).
What's a rest day? haha. (You have "active recovery" days instead)0 -

Yes! All of these things!0 -
guilty as charged
**if you spend three hours at the gym, don't even want to leave. Only leave because you know people are starting to worry.
**You go INSANE the times you cannot work out0 -
The thing you hate most about the flu is its possible interference with your training (me right now but I don't care I need to workout).0

I need one of those hobo signs

I barely got back into the gym last night after a week hiatus due to illness. The entire week I went crazy!0 -
...
teaching aerobics class while sick
rather go to the gym than a mommy group because they have day care and you like to work out rather than talk
have more work out clothes than work clothes
hit the hotel gym first on a business trip
be disappointed if your burn is less than others because you have high aerobic capacity
be sad that your dog gets old and you need to walk, instead of running.
the hr measure at the docs office beeps alarm because your resting heart rate is 45
The doc tells you to stop losing more weight
if you get depressed once you stopped for 3 days
if you run the stairwell and teach bootcamp 9 months pregnant
If you ski the double diamond 7 months pregnant
if you are a regular at the orthopedics and you wouldn't be if you just stopped the insanity.
Thisw is fun: I could go on and on...0 -

* Your kitchen cabinets are used to store suppliments and protein more than food.
* When your monthly finacial bills reads... Rent, Car payment, electric, Suppliments....... Etc
* You wonder how many gym visits will it take to get the hot girl at work to go out with you.0 -

the 4th day in a row you cannot work out, you start to get tension headaches.0

You love muscle soreness.
I love the soreness!!
I also think bout working out at work,
And have to work out everyday, wether or not my husband thinks i should slow down for a day0 -
Oh my...wow...so true on almost all the above....
It kills me to miss a workout routine. Thursday is my favorite workout day because of the instructors/classes and if there is anything that alters it...uggh! ROARRRRR! Shoot, people know not to bother asking me to do anything when it is "workout" time!
Oh yeah, and muscle soreness too...hah...I rocked two hard workouts last night (new ones at a new gym) and was dripping sweat when done. I just knew I would be sore this morning..nope...and now I am thinking maybe I didn't work hard enough....0 -
I guess I never thought I was until I find myself depressed on rest days LOL ,since my weight loss and the results I've seen me accomplish I am never satisfied so I guess I fell into this category....but its a good thing as long as it doesn't get in the way of the most important things in life like my wife and children,I would like to have it become a family routine but can't push it if they aren't ready......its bad I am so OCD on working all muscle groups and to build lean which is a challenge a slow process in its win but i am sticking with the lean gain of muscle mass rather than quick bulking,results take longer and more nutritional discipline but I like keeping a low BF%.0

I consider myself a workout-aholic, because of the ff:
-I can't survive a day without going to gym [except on recovery days, of course!]
-I am always feel excited about my workout routine for the day
-always caught myself browsing and reading through fitness sites and blogs online
-always logged in to MFP [though I am lazy enough not to log my food and exercise stuff]
-my room is full of fitness models [mostly female of course, Lol!] as they are my inspiration0 -
Ok, I have another few:
your freezer contains no food but ice packs for your joint pains/injuries.
If you are not working out, you sit at your desk icing various parts of you body.
If you lift heavy, the adrenaline makes you not feel any pain, when you return to the office and sit at your desk, holding a pen gives you severe joint pain and tendonitis all over.
If you quit drinking alcohol because you are afraid you couldn't get your protein in within your cal goal.0 -
Call me crude but here's one related to workoutaholics and diet consistency...
If you *kitten* like a swiss train. On time, everytime.0 -
You spend more time at the gym in a week than some of the gym's trainers and employees.
You constantly have your dufflebag packed and with you in the event you find an extra hour of time in the day.
You are cool with paying the extra money to check a bag for a flight just so you can pack your gym bag and workout clothes/equipment.0 -
