For me its being competitive, I notice my workouts get more intense i put a lot more effort if its somewhat competitive rather than just "working out for the sake of working out"

You have a point there, Cath - I just wanted to make it clear!:)

Quest2013, would you feel something missing if you stopped, like incomplete?

It's a lifestyle for me like waking up and brushing my teeth. Not a choice

Guilt

Knowing I can protect my kids when they are at least with me, once I have them haha need to make it a habit now before I am super busy like all the time.

JarJarBoom, really competing is with ourselves isn't it, wanting to be better.

I have diabetes so it's to control blood sugar

Cathdon - Yes. I had to recover from surgery and the 3 weeks off were awful

He is - and he knows!

Awe lucky hubby :)

Helle32 basically that is the last option, you can be hot for whoever you wish or just for yourself :)
