    rest days are a form of punishment that leave you nadgy and difficult to be around.

    I thought I was the only one! I am so at odds on rest days that I do a massive clean , I scrub the floors by hand dust mop and do almost everything in one day. Sometimes when the day is done I feel like a workout might have been more relaxing!

    Your rest days feel like something's missing! I am only taking off 1 day a week, but that one day feels so strange. It's tough to NOT workout! It drives me nuts, and all I think about is working out! I have to remind myself every minute that my body needs to recover. That it's better for me to have that day off rather than push it too hard.

    I plan to do this. We're visiting friends in Canada for 10 days this summer, and I asked her if I could get a temporary membership to her gym.

    I know I am addicted to working out.......when I only devote 15 minutes to actually eating my lunch & the remaining 45 minutes is to actually go for a long walk & climb 11 flights of stairs.

    When someone's total caloric burn on the Elliptical machine for 40 minutes is your warm up in 10 minutes!

    This will never happen. I workout in crap because I have to spend quite a good amount of money on my work clothes if I want to wear work clothes that aren't too big. :)

    You know you're addicted to working out when...you ask your husband to make dinner because tonight's going to be a long one.

    I understand! I try so hard not to get irritated when my daughter has something going on, and I can't workout.

    But generally, I just change my schedule, get up an hour earlier, or have my husband do something I normally would so that I can still workout.

    I realized I was addicted to working out when I began basing my day's meals around my expected burns (BAD and I have since stopped). Another clue was that I was disappointed with anything under a 800 cal burn (the smaller you get, the less you burn and the longer it takes).

    you ENJOY being sore and barely able to walk because you know you worked the right muscle groups.

    Feel free to add your own.

    Totally!

    You actually look forward to personal training sessions and wonder how they are going to torture you today..

    You get cranky when you can't go

    You become more active in everyday life because being a couch potato just doesn't cut it anymore!
