There must be something seriously wrong with me! :o)

BAM

Cathlete
So I decide to buy STS on the final pre-order day. It looks like it will give me everything I've been looking for in a strength training workout which is what I mostly do. I'm also figuring I'm DONE with buying ANY other dvd's as spending $200 is more than I wanted (needed) to spend at this time. There were several other dvd's I had been eyeing, i.e. Hard Work Conditioning; NYC; Ripped & Chiseled; Amy's Slo-Mo; Slim Series Firm it Up, just to name a few. I'm thinkin' that STS will cover all that I was looking for in those other dvd's and hopefully more. I go into Marshalls tonight and low and behold, they have a bunch of dvd's for 5 or 6 bucks. Do I need them? Like I need a yeast infection. So I study each and every one of them (like I've never seen an exercise dvd before in my life ;) ) and am attempting to dissuade my brain from any attempts at rationalizing why I really do NEED to add any one of them to my myriad of videos/dvds in my collection. I narrow them down to about 5 or so and proceed to talk to myself, out loud mind you (hey, this is serious business that needs careful pro and con consideration.) There were quite a few Shape dvd's and the pros, no the cons, no the pros :eek:, were winning. It was a battle that I was unarmed for. There was no shopping partner to pull them out of my hand and throw them back on the shelf and end my ambivalence. I was relying on my own good judgement to do so, but where was it? Perhaps back at home on the shelf with all the other videos/dvds that have gotten little or no play. The struggle continued and I was on a time constraint. Hey, it was premiere night for Dancing With The Stars. How could I let this addiction keep me from THAT? At that moment I knew that I needed some serious intervention so I decided that I'd only buy a few, bring them home, read some reviews, and determine what I wanted to do. I bought 2 Stott Pilates workouts (I haven't done pilates in probably a year) and :08 min. Core Workouts. After reading the reviews, and having some decompression time :7, the Pilates ones are going back. Now, all I have to do is return them and then RUN FOR MY LIFE out the door without looking back!

Why do I do this? Do I need any more dvd's to collect dust? NO! Do I need any more dvd's to count? NO! I've already learned how to count into the hundreds so this will NOT help me with my math skills. So what is my problem? I'm addicted and I need intervention. I won't even begin to tell you all the videos I bought at Ocean State Job Lot for $1.99. I'm hardly working out these days due to my back and shoulder/neck stuff but I just can't get enough of them. I need more, I NEED MORE!!!!!! HELP ME!!!!!!!!!! :eek:

Thanks for listening to my rant. Ooh, I know, maybe I'll go to a DIFFERENT Marshalls tomorrow. }(

I really need help!:D

Ah geeze BAM, you are so not alone!!!! Anyone with our workout addiction would jump at a $5-$6 DVD in a heartbeat! I ordered STS on the 1st day...:)...I say if you don't like the ones you bought, then take them back, lots of people do that. I probably will use my other Cathe's right now in prep for STS...and I cannot wait...:)
 
Carole, you're supposed to help me STOP this addiction! :7 The thing is, I really can not afford to buy more of something I don't need. Plus, if I were healthy and was able to actually use the ones I buy (or the ones I have for that matter) then I guess I could justify it. *sigh* Well, I guess there's comfort in numbers. :)

:)...I guess I have never been good at stopping someone!! I have been accused of being an enabler around here!!...:D
 
Gee, thanks Carole! I guess I know where not to come if someone is trying to sell me some beachfront property in Wyoming. :7

Thanks Debbie! Wanna go shopping with me? }( I hope I feel better before STS comes a knockin' at my door. Maybe going back and forth to Marshalls will keep me in prime condition! :7

I could've written this post myself! I've come to realize I'm a total addict when it comes to fitness DVDs/equipment, etc.!
