You know your addicted to Fitness when....

[toastythemosty]

you park in the farthest parking space available and then you run to the Mall or store as if you are in a hurry.

you get groceries and the clerk ask if you need help with your 6+ bags (no cart) to take back to your car parked at the end of the lot, and you look at him as if he slapped you or something. I guess women are suppose to be weak???

when you walk thru the Mall and your children can't keep up with you.

you never answer the phone cuz your always working out.

List some more for fun, if you can think of any.....

When swimming with friends you are insulted by someone asking if you want a "noodle" to float on. (I can tread water way longer than anyone I know!)

 

[Lunacat]

...when faced with a flight of stairs or an elevator, you sprint up the stairs.

...you buy two 20 lb. dumbbells at the fitness store and hold both of them in one hand at the half way curl point while you pay for them!

...you walk to the store rather than just drive because, heck, it's only five blocks away!

...when you pay $85 for a pair of shoes you would NEVER wear out of the house or gym (clean floors only please, these are my aerobic shoes!)

...when you bend over at the waist a few times a day just to feel the pull in your hamstrings because they're still sore!

...when you start actually dreaming you're working out and you kick your SO out of bed.

...when you will actually put in one of your exercise tapes and watch it for entertainment.

...when your shovling snow and you actually start an interval routine, that involves squating and then the biggest scope you can get on the shovel and tossing it as far as you can.

...when you rather stay at home and workout then go to the movies, with friends.

... your friends actually send over the police wondering what happen to you, because they haven't seen or heard from you for so long.

... when you stand in line at the store, and lean over the basket and start doing crunches, leg lifts, or bum ups, as it's taking so long and your missing your workout.

... when you go to the restruant and help the waiter move the tables for your large party, by lifting them over you head, and carrying them to the desired spot.

 

[truton]

....your rack of DVDs and tapes are mostly exercise tapes, not movies.

....the songs you hear on the radio reminds you of a certain workout you normally do, not an old boyfriend or high school or something of that sort(can anyone say Pina Colada Song?).

....high steps double as extra seating in the living room

....the dog has trained herself to run upstairs to hide when the step comes out for fear of an accidental kick

 

[allwildgirl]

YES!!! These are awesome!

* when you stand waiting for the microwave to finish warming something up and do push-ups against the wall (at work!)

* when you volunteer to go to Costco to buy the cases of water so you can carry them up the three flights of stairs to the office

And I can so relate to the ditching movies and dinners so I can fit in a workout. I'm glad I'm not the only insane one!

 

[toastythemosty]

Yeah...Costco's buying a ton of food and then pushing it all up hill while other people are pulling their cars in front....so lazy!

I have also tried to workout while standing in line. When I am with my DD she flips and tells me to stop, and says, "mom, you are soooo obsessed"!!

[Lunacat]

Absolutely love the new pic, toasty! Great haircut!

Edited to add:

Where in VA do you live?

 

[toastythemosty]

Lunacat- thanks! My DD was bothered by my original bikini pics...said I looked like a stripper or something so fully clothed and just trying to show off! LOL

When you go to bed at night and have Cathe music going through your head all night
When you go to bed planning what Cathe workouts you will do the next day and what order
When you are blow drying your hair and can tighten and flex those muscles you have attained
When you buy the Daddy Daycare soundtrack saying it is for the grandchildren and you really want it for Kung Fu Fighting

[smoogy]

Mine was not too long ago...

...when I take 2-3 steps at a time up two flights of stairs, breathing normally & turn around to catch some doctor looking up at me with amazement or shock in his eyes, and he is still a half a flight of steps behind me. LOL! You should have seen his eyes bug out!

Charlotte, you are looking rather formidable. Good job girlfriend!

...you still come home and workout after hiking a very vertical mile (the trail is one mile up in 1,000 feet)...

...you plan your entire weekend around your workouts and give up social activities instead of exercise if you are running short on time...

...You start using exercise lingo like "DOMS" when talking to others and they have no clue what you are talking about...

 

[naughtoj]

It is nice to see these responses after a week of getting made fun of at work for my exercise/health habits.

Sad how some people are so bitter that you have "figured it out"....


I think you all can relate......

 

[Yummy Mummy]

When you start giving "fitness advice" to complete strangers at a party........for those "problem" areas....... whether it's wanted or not LOL!!

You have to stay in shape. My Grandmother started walking when she was 60. Today she is 97 and we don't know where the hell she is! - Ellen DeGeneres

 

[toastythemosty]

Janice- I know what you mean about giving fitness advice and some get jealous. I am always talking about eating clean to my friends and people I meet. I get looked at as if I just said a dirty word or something so that is why I feel the need to come here and discuss fitness and eating clean as much as I want and I know it is all good since I can't talk to anyone else since no one wants to here!
BTW, thanks for the compliments. Hair is growing out like a weed and not sure what to do with it. Thinking of letting it grow out so I can pull it back in the summer.

Have a great day!
