Wanted to change my answer to the question of do I workout from a reluctantly embarrased "No" to a chuckling dead-panned "Not at all, why do you ask?"
"Mens Sana in Corpore Sano." Sound Mind in a Sound Body. You can't have One, without the Other.
Plus, I seem to get a charge from challenging my "limits" in all aspects of my 'reality', hence my inevitable journey into the Land of Iron. (Yeah, Buddy!!!)
Why I Love It:
Not one negative aspect about it (Update: Apparently some consider a borderline Obsession a negative...)
Lowers my stress threshold, i.e. "Turns down the volume" on life's difficulties.
Maintain the same waist since High School, makes every shirt in my closet look custom-made. (Ha!) Update: Now finding the right size pants AND boxers is becomin' a sumovab*tch of a challenge.
More importantly, besides food, it's another aspect in my life where I have 99.9% total influence and control.
Bonus: Being able to be consistent or surpass last week's max weight/rep is an incredible affirmation that you can take guilt-free satisfaction in!
How I Stay Motivated:
Use EVERY trick in the book. Constantly read and reread mags, websites, ask question from the 'experts' @ my gym. Watch videos (Yep, I even have Pumping Iron stored in my MP3 player!)
Just as important, I talk shop and swap stories and motivate/reciprocate with my closest buds and online friends.
This is why I know I'll reach the next level with the Bodyspace community.
UPDATE: Started training @ Gold's Maxx to surround myself with like-minded zealots.
BB Accomplishments:

Supa-mom checkin' in:-)! I'm doing well . . . have decided to do a show in November (no backign out no matter what) in the midst of all the stuff! Wrote-up a new workout yesterday and started it today!
wow- gain time for everyone. Im just praying mine isnt the good old H2O.. hummm. Really liked it there huh? Good then you will be even closer if I compete! lol
haha. I hope so! Well, I am almost jealous. I just added more songs to the mp3 and i have reached my max! So, soon, I may want to buy a new one. gotta kill it with the cardio this week! :) xo
I just have a cheap silicon wrap on mine to protect it from bumps and scratches. I just keep min in my pocket. The P3 is on its way with a much upgraded user interface.
Hey, my name is ben. I've just recently gotten more serious about fitness and I was wondering if you could give me some help on my diet. Maybe a sample of your own, or some tips.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Ben
