1- Your weekly shop consists of: multipack tuna, 1 kilo porridge oats, 3 dozen eggs, 8 pints milk. And 7 frozen pizzas for your partner.

2-Most of your life is spent in sports kit- you're either just going to the gym, just coming back, or it's "just in case".

3-In fact, all your clothes are sports kit.

4-Callouses on the palms. Excellent protein for chewing on if you forget that post-workout shake.

5-The gym staff not only know your name, but they send people in your direction for advice.

6-After that many gross protein shakes, you could swallow ANYTHING.

7-You know the top 10 music videos backwards from the MTV in the gym.

8-Surreptitious bicep rubbing. Come on- you know you do it.

9-Ditto for abs.

10-Instead of going to the gym then on a date, your have your dates IN the gym (hey it's good to get sweaty together!)


Feel free to add any more!

When ever you ask your friends what they're doing they're always busy in fear you'll take them to the gym.

Your friends won't come around to watch the game becuase they feel bad about the crisps (chips) and beer and sure aren't going miss out on it.

Your cart at the grocery store has more protein in it than all the other carts in the store.

You have constant tuna-breath, own nothing but tank-tops, and your favorite drinking glass is a measuring cup.

You can't remember the last time you showered at home- it sure saves money doing it at the gym all the time!

Ordering out at a resturant takes more time than actually eating it ( I'll have three chicken breasts grilled with hot sauce etc...) When you get asked for ideas for gifts on your birthday etc...you almost ask for gym clothes , euqipment, etc. When you watch tv anything to do with exercise even those stupid info mericals you have to watch it.

You plan your day around your work-out.

You may miss a day of work, but never your work-out.

When you travel you find a motel next to a gym.

And buy eggs in bulk.......

I'm lucky to be able to buy in a shop selling only to restaurants. I buy 180 eggs every two weeks. They think it's for my restaurant (I don't have any!!) but I told the salesman last week that it's only for personal use.
Lol I tell you, the way he looked at me, like I was an alien!!!!!

When you lean against a counter suddenly you are doing tricep dips.....when you walk doen a flight of stairs you get the sudden urge to do calf raises. And everytime you go near a fitness store you have to try out the benches, dumbbells etc, and even though you do not need it you want to buy it!

You find yourself scanning the packaging of non-food items like toilet paper to check the calorie content...

You dream about workingout at night.. You think about it som much that your friends want you to see a doctor for a OCD (obessive complusive disorder). When you go to get new shoes it almost always is for the gym, in fact you own more old gym shoes then any other type of shoe.

You wear your weight belt and gloves in the shower. (that's probably the only time they'd get washed anyway :0)

P.S. My diet sucks so much, last night I dreamt I was eating a giant marshmallow. When I woke up, my pillow was gone. No wonder I have no appetite today.

Your spouse says, "Hon, you're spending more money on YOUR kind of food than on the other four of US."
