You hate being sick - not because it kept you from sleeping for 2 days straight, not because it cut into the last of your vacation, or because it caused you to leave work early, but because it makes you unable to work out for an entire week.

Part of the reason you want to help your friend move is to get some strength training in after said sickness...

You have a different work schedule each week, and the first thing you do when you get your schedule is to figure out when you can fit in workouts.

You worry about going back to school full-time in the fall, because you're not sure how you can do all your workouts, work, and maintain a 3.6 gpa...

When it's five after one and you're sitting at the computer pressing a ball between your knees because you haven't done a lifting day yet this week?

When your colleagues don't bat an eyelid when you get to work having run 12 miles to get there, because they're so used to you doing it!

And then when you do finally make it in to the gym, the trainers who work there (whom you don't even train with) question you on where you've been all that time.

Diva - I have something similar...

I ordered the Body Sculpting System 3 "The Firm" Dvds and they arrived yesterday. I agonized over which one to try but I picked one. Later on in the night, I wanted to do another one but I instead talked myself into doing 35 minutes on the elliptical

My DH wanted to walk with me this morning. Which is fine. I love walking with my lovey, however ... I'm going to have to go back out (now that he's gone golfing) because we didn't jog!

When you get sweat in your eye.... I need an eyebrow transplant!

Not only do you get sweat in your eye, but you're sweating so profusely that it stings for a good hour, and the only time you don't notice it is when you're sparring because you're too busy concentrating on hitting the other guy!

Oh does it HURT! In the end I decided to take my contacts out but it still stung like heck. THEN I couldn't see much and had stupid halos round all the car headlights riding home.

I have the sexy specs on today.

Try vaseline to stop it. It might not look glamourous but apparently it works.

It worked! Vaseline for sweaty eyebrows!

You know you're a fitness freak when you're praying for black eyes from the punch you took (so you can take the day off work....). Or maybe that's just a freak!

When you have a time constraint and can only fit in 45 minutes of cardio, and you feel like a failure. Then you remember that a year ago, you couldn't do 45 seconds of cardio, so you decide to let it slide.

Also, you find yourself manipulating the schedules of meetings at work around the hour you planned for lunchtime strength training, so you'll have enough time to lift between meetings and get some water and catch your breath before you get on another. For some reason, its less mentally difficult to move the meeting earlier/later than it is to move the lifting!

You do strength training exercises at the copy machine and assume no one else notices...

(Guess who got caught by a co-worker doing glute squeezes )

You work your *** so completely off in your sparring class that you get home and have to take a shower SITTING DOWN because you can't stand any more!
