Your treadmill breaks so you go from store to store trying out new treadmills and "logging" each 10 minute trial in your exercise journal. I found a new treadmill AND got my exercise in!!! Oh how I wish that I could have afforded some of the more expensive models...

    You are reading the back of boxes outloud (not knowing it) and get mad because the difference between what you really want and what you should get is SODIUM.


    My kids think I'm nuts now :laugh:

    You are sitting in the middle of the cereal isle with 12 boxes of cereal in your buggy reading the side of all the boxes trying to decide which to buy.

    You are 26 and your friends want you to "go-out" on the weekends to "have a few beers" :drinker: when in reality, the moment you start drinking that first beer, you realize it is about 120 calories. And if I have about 3 or 4 more, it is going to equal 1/4-1/2 my calories for the day. So, it makes you not wanna go out anymore.....making my friends think I am crazy!!!!!

    When you call your child's pediatrician to find out what range of calories he should be eating every day because he's become obsessed with calories like his mom ... (how's you like to be an 11 year old boy who should have 2900-3400 calories?) Seriously - the doctors office treated me like I was preparing to starve the kid... I explained that HE wanted to know how many he should be eating... HE was interested... and that when an 11 year old child expresses an interest in health and fitness you absolutely, positively DO NOT brush him off... LOL - honestly, they thought I was insane.

    You're doing cardio wearing a sweatshirt and it's over 80 degrees outside. My trainer even said I was insane. :bigsmile:

    I've always wondered if that was ok to do.
    Is it?
    I wear a hoodie when I workout.

    In Jillian Michael's book 'Making The Cut' she says to do cardio in a sweatshirt to sweat off those last few pounds, and I was doing that before I read her book. I wear a sweatshirt when I'm trying to lose those last few pounds before a weight loss contest at my gym ends to lose those last few pounds before weigh in. I still usually wear a long sleeve shirt during cardio, unless I'm running outside.

    Agreed! I haven't really had any alcohol since February. My friends think I'm crazy. When I move back to the city in May, it's gonna be tough trying to hold off on all those extra calories.

    I didn't mean to post that many times!!!
    Anyway...I do that too! so instead of feeling awkward while everyone else is drinking away I just drink two glasses of water between each beer...I think drinking something makes me forget that I'm not drinking beer!
