    ...the daycare people see you coming and put in Toy Story because its the only way you can get out the door without your son clinging to your leg...
    ...the front desk-card swiper asks whats wrong when you have to miss your morning class and she sees you at night
    ...the front desk clerk also knows which of your kids' turn it is to pick up your card-and follows the schedule to avoid fights
    ...your favorite instructor notices you got new shoes!

    im not ashamed...

    Not a gymrat, but definitley a fitness rat!

    The only clothes that seem to circulate through the laundry are my work uniforms and work out clothes.


    LOL ...that's so true for me!

    if you have the kids babysat by their nanna, and spend the time going to the gym with your partner as opposed to a date or something

    if you change appointments so they fit in with your gym

    if your entire diary is filled with weights, and class times, and lists of foods / calories, bookings for gym creche etc...

    Lock me up!!! haha.

    - often help spot bench.
    - have my "spot" (the lifting platform - get the absolute ****s when i see people using it and putting in minimal effort...) GTFO.
    Oh and machines? Why are you using machines?? :tongue: no really. :wink:
    - get a nod from about 4 trainers there now..they dont know my name, because i dont really speak to anyone, lol. i prefer to focus on the job at hand and fall into my zone until my numbers are done.
    - organise parts of my life around my "gym time". lol
    - my alarm on my phone has two settings: 1. "0700", and 2. "Gym Time" (0600) :tongue:
    - my gym gear is always ready. protein shake included.
    - first thing i do in the morning is long into my three fav websites. "MFP", "T-nation", and another exercise forum thread. Lol.
    EVERY morning. if no computer near by, i log on through my phone!
    - I have to hold myself back on rest days.
    - even i on rest days, i dont rest, lol. usually practice skill moves, like snatch, double unders(jump rope), or snatch/overhead squat balance with a broom stick.

    Totally addicted.

    You're a gym rat if the staff misses you when you're not there. I used to be a gym rat, they always knew me, conversated w/ me, I had my fave instructors and would take their classes, so I would coordinate my schedule around certain classes, always had a gym bag in the car, packing my gym bag each night was a ritual and I made sure I had EVERYTHING I needed. I would even rearrange my work schedule to take certain gym classes. If it was a holiday, I made sure I got my workout in early before they closed or came up w/ a game plan if they were closed the whole day.......I had it bad..............LOL

    I asked for the Zumba DVD's for my anniversary! People at my husbands work were giving him a hard time for ordering those for our anniversary even though he explained that's what I wanted!! I also look at the exercise clothes before 'real' clothes when I go shopping.
