Haha- just wondering how many of us out there catch themselves doing this-Like I am right now. While I eagerly anticipate your responses, my elliptical will be getting used:). Now, quit reading, respond, and go sweat!

    I workout first so I don't get distracted :D Or if I'm on the bike, I'll browse while exercising :)

    Me too!! :) Does slow down my charting though. If I have to be on the computer all day, I may as well be enjoying myself!

    Caffeine or a pre-workout drink is what makes the difference for me. Gets me off my *kitten*.

    If I use jack3d, I'll be working out for a few hours.

    I do the same thing!

    My work has FB blocked, and just about anything else that's somewhat entertaining, so I have to keep my sanity somehow ! :laugh:

    most my mfping is at work and from the phone app in my free time. Workouts are never put off for mfping. :-) I don't procrastinate exercise.

    I mostly scan the forums when I am at work.... In the evenings I usually log in after I have finished my workouts so I can avoid that! LOL

    My coworkers might not appreciate sweaty me.

    Yup, same as others. I am at work. I have this in the background and can jump to it while I wait for files to open or download.

    I cannot read anything while working out to save my life! Even the closed captions on the tv are difficult.

    It's just me, my boss (who is in the office about 6 hours a week) and another lady who works 2 days a week, 4 hours each day. Neither one of them know anything about the internet - much less blocking any sites! If I'm gonna be here with nothing to do 36 hours a week, I'm gonna do the best to enjoy it!

    Story of my life! I added an exercise called "Sitting in bed in my workout clothes, staring at bike" This is when I decided that I needed professional help.
