    I'm new so exercise is still this terrifying overwhelming monster. I cannot wait for the time when I will love it. Thanks for giving me hope :)

    Oh, how about being "caught" paving off he length of the pool to calculate mileage?


    Or spending copious amounts of money on workout do-dads (waterproof lap calculating watch, swim gloves, weights .... )

    Do you know That adage, "if you do what you love, you'll love what you do" ? Well, that's how you get there.

    " when you are bored and just start doing jumping jacks because you want to burn calories"
    "when you ask every one practically even a 6 yr old nephew if they want to workout doing something on the wii because you want to keep active"
    "when you have a rest day but you end up doing a workout because you yearn for it."

    Also I agree with
    someone who stated " wearing your polar watch as an accessory, and doing laundry and seeing you have more workout clothes, and wanting to buy more workout clothes than normal clothes. "

    When...
    ...you are bored and that is the first thing you can think of to do.

    When I take the kids for a quick swim and end up doing seventy laps.

    - Someone invites you to dinner after work and you think "crap, better get up early and go in the AM cause I just cant mess up my schedule"

    A true addict would see moving the workout as messing up the schedule and decline dinner.

    That's how I see it too. Just last night a friend texted me to switch our plans from this afternoon to this morning. I had planned a run around the bay this morning, so I declined. The weather will be perfect! We'll meet up tomorrow. My workouts are very important to me.

    Actually the drinks invitation? No thanks, I'm working out. I don't consider the stuff listed necessarily "addictive." I consider it healthy living. And the sports bra one? Buahaaaaaaaa!! I have 2 drawers overflowing with sports bras and one full one for pretties. I just ordered a few more sports bras yesterday, so I've got to empty another drawer. I also took out my shorts for the season & will need another drawer for that. Plus hubby's taking me to lulu for mother's day so get ready for more re-organizing!

    ...taking your child to the park involves you doing chin-ups on the monkey bars, and tricep dips on the benches.
