Addiction: If the definition fits, wear it proudly!

ad·dic·tion

[uh-dik-shuh n]  
noun
the state of being enslaved to a habit or practice or to something that is psychologically or physically habit-forming

I confess, I'm addicted to living a healthy lifestyle! I'm addicted to exercise, clean eating, and self improvement. And I embrace the fact that the definition of addiction indicates it's habit-forming! My fitness addiction was like a high-speed train, I was introduced to Shaun T's Insanity and after conquering that, I was up for anything. And I developed a bit of a weight problem, buying more and more gear for strength training and weight lifting!
 
 
 
My nutrition journey was more gradual... I started out with simple calorie counting, which is the gateway drug to cleaner eating, and then actually developing a slight interest in cooking, and before I knew it, I was making complicated but delicious meals from scratch and talking about my favorite recipes as if I were actually a cook.   The great thing about surrounding myself with healthy friends is the never ending stream of new and delicious recipes I'm exposed to!
 
Once working out became a daily habit, correction, a daily requirement, of course I had to have new gear to support it!
 
 
 
And to top it off I started running, and we all know about the related gear addictions that go with that (My Running Post)
 
Being a health & fitness addict is the greatest gift I've given myself, and I don't intend to cure myself anytime soon!
