This is the saying on one of my favorite workout shirts (which is getting too big on me, sadly). The front says "I run..." and on the back it says "so I can eat chocolate cake..." The other I love is "I workout....to have a feel good day" - I just pulled these out and put one on to head out the door for a run and I thought I'd make a quick post.
This really encompasses exactly why I workout/run/walk/count calories etc. Everything in moderation, including chocolate cake, and if I have to run that day to be able to eat it, so be it. I feel better when I workout and, I find, I'm also in a better mood and kinder! I do it for many reasons, mental and physical, how about you?

Haha, soooo true! I usually let myself have one serving of dessert for every two miles I run and that's all I think about the whole time I'm going! But by the time I get back from exercising, sometimes I feel so great that I don't want to ruin it with refined sugar and empty calories. Funny how that works, haha.0

'I run... so I can drink beer'
I am always in a better mood when I exercise. Sometimes if I know I'm going out I watch the calories burned on my HRM and count the number of beers I am burning off ;-)0 -

That's what I did yesterday.0 -
I have 2 that I love. One says" Since you are behind me" on the front and on the back "how's mine"? and the other is I am not a Tomboy, I'm just better then you.
Makes me smile every time I put them on to run.0 -
Yep, its a great incentive to have extra calories to eat and boy dont you have to work hard to get them!! ive never power walked before and have never been a runner but i am slowly learning to do both and finding i enjoy it, and miss it when i dont do it.
This is my 3rd week and im aiming to run a 5k in october........................we'll see!0 -
Love it!!! Glad your shirts are too big!!!
I ran a 5K today... so I can eat cheesy bread from the Farmer's market!!! with fresh tomato and basil... sooooooooo good... and later I'll do some core to eat my chocolate cup cake!
I feel so much better when I run! I started just walking, then walking faster, then running!!!!0 -
Mine says, "One must not let vanity overrule appetite"
They have to work together, lol! Eat the things you love (but in moderation, with exercise, so you still look good)!!!:laugh:0 -
I cycle to eat chocolate! Chocolate cake sounds divine right about now! I indulged in some super fattening homemade coffee cake today (only half a piece). I still felt guilty about it, but once I start my five x's a week cycling workout, I should start feeling a bit better about allowing myself something sweet.0

My "X" boss who is tiny and petite, and who was always nagging on me anout my weight and appearance. for Christmas one year she got me a T-shirt that read " Everytime I say those dirty words EXCERCISE I have to wash my mouth out with chocolate". If she could only see me now! ...LOL0

I run to blast my music on my ipod and forget I have 2 brats...
I weight train to afford to eat more... :happy:0 -
GlaDOS would disagree. :P0

My favorite running shirt is the one that says
"I belong to an eating club with a running problem"
I also have ....
"I may not pass you, but I will outlast you"
and my other favorite
"Does this shirt make my butt look fast"
Im a sucker for the cute sayin running shirts!0 -
Just wanted to put my 2 cents in: I have a sying that I picked up several years ago and use it often; "Wherever you are at thats where you are until you make a change. Just reminds me that everone else can get fed up, disappointed, upset; however it has to start with me. Enjoy our journey and may the pound fall by the wayside.0

I love it! Those shirts are cute. You are such a great person. I know your gonna rock it, everyday you workout, you will go the extra mile to make it worth while. When I was a child, I a had a shirt that said " I'm a Wisconsin Girl and I can kick you butt!" I loved that shirt. lol
Have a great day, Chick. :-)
