    You roll your eyes when you see someone post a cardio exercise on MFP that reads: 45 minutes of "Cleaning, light, moderate effort"

    ... You park on the bottom floor of the garage so you have more flights to walk up.
    ... You make excuses to go to your car so you can walk up the stairs again.
    ... You are upset when your muscles don't hurt the next day because you didn't push yourself hard enough.

    last one is so true!!

    You'd rather eat the lunch you packed then get a free lunch for an event at work.
    You hog all the lean proteins at buffets, weddings, etc.

    When you have missed a couple of runs due to illness or injury, you wake up from a night's sleep realizing you had wonderful dreams of running and cannot wait for your next run...

    LOL..I have done this also! It's amazing how addicting getting into/being in shape is!!

    In my defense, it was Insanity exercises, and my desk was angled so that nobody but the colleague I was talking to could see what I was doing!

    When your kids say, "When I grow up, can I go to a gym also, and lift weights, so I can have even bigger muscles than MOM!"

    You offer to lift all the "heavy" stuff. Groceries, luggage, bikes, etc.

    All the time.


    For sure. I get weird looks from my husband when I offer to carry heavy bags up 4 flights of stairs for fun. haha

    ...you'd rather workout at 24 hour fitness because it's actually open 24 hours.

    ...you take a walk instead of just standing there while filling your car with gas.

    ...going to the gym starts to be like the Cheers theme song "...where everybody knows your name...and they're always glad you came..."

    ...you get excited to click the "COMPLETE THIS ENTRY" button to see what you might weigh in 5 weeks.

    You go swimming with your kids and you try to turn vigorous treading water and leisurely swimming into a HIIT workout, so you can get some of your work out in while still playing with the kids (with a water proof watch).

    Or when you take your kids to the park and you play on the monkey bars and find yourself creating a circuit training routine to do with the kids or they create one and teach it to you.

    p.s. This is the funnest thread!!!

    When you hear a song you dance in Zumba and start dancing and bobbing your head and shaking it while you're driving in your car!!
