    Usually some variation of "Look at me, I am doing it! Wow my random body part hurts. I wonder if I injured it? I am going to google that later. My Spotify playlist really sucks. I should take up jogging! I can get up early and jog around the neighborhood. Yea that is a horrible idea. GOOD LORD HOW MUCH LONGER DO I HAVE ON THIS THING?!".

    If its Zumba or another class excercise, I throw in a "crap, why do they put mirrors on the walls in places like this".

    Daydream, think about you know what, give myself major props for working out, watch other people, and it starts all over again. I am always thinking about something. :)

    ^^^^^^^^^THIS SLAYED ME. SLAYED ME.

    Yes, I also think about not being crushed under the weights I lift.
    I think about the music I am running too.
    I think about how hot I am gonna look if I can just do one more set of 10.
    Chocolate. Only thing I really miss from the past. lol

    I generally think about whether or not what I'm doing will help me if I'm ever attacked by zombies.

    OMG am I really up at 4am.
    I hope my big butt jumping around doesn’t wake the baby up
    WAIT! Is the baby breathing? ….I should stop and poke her to be sure …. Nope she moved im good.
    Did she move? or was I seeing things? Screw it I’m checking on her.

    Yeah … that’s what having a 9 week old sounds like :noway:

    1. Work - No
    2. Family - Rarely
    3. Counting laps/reps - Sometimes
    4. Sex - No
    5. Your new body - Sometimes

    Currently I am doing Turbo Fire, mountian biking and calisthenics. With Turbo Fire I mostly think about remembering and keeping up with the routine and breathing. With mountain biking I mostly think about how bad my legs are burning and how not to wreck and kill myself (very new to this). I count reps with calisthenics.

    If I'm doing strength training, I'm pretty much focused on form and counting reps. During rest periods, I'm thinking "Am I seriously the only girl in the free weight area? I hate that I'm the only girl in the free weight area."

    If I'm doing cardio, I usually read on my tablet, so I get engrossed in the story. But if I'm doing intervals, then I'm all "OMG, do NOT let me fly off the back of this treadmill and faceplant. How much longer? OK, only one more minute......I can make it."

    I honestly try hard to not think about anything, it interferes with geting my mindset for the exercise especially if the thought is bad or depressing in some way.

    Generally I kinda don't focus on much except whatever song I'm listening to.

    Cardio? 2-4, along with whatever song is playing on the iPod.

    Lifting? "Head up chest out elbows in arms straight head up knees aligned don't lean forward pull press bend head up dammit" more or less. And then 2-4 with a side of "how can I avoid my next set?" during rests.

    I think "Why can't I manage to do as well with my other goals as I have with losing weight?" and then try thinking up ways to change that.

    My mind races all day, every day. When I work out, it stops. It is the only hour of the day that I am not thinking of...anything.

    I have a mantra: lean, fit, flexible, strong.

    Of course my mind departs to wander unknown paths, but as soon as I realize it's happening, I go back to my mantra.
