17x you recognize this if you are a sports junkie

‘Who has seen the base coat?’ ‘Do you do three or four layers?’ ‘Shit, who has unpainted nails and can fix a mistake?’ ‘Well, this color looks a lot less cheerful on the nail.’ While the average painted hand in the office lasts four to five days, I already have chipped nails after half a day. What am I saying? After an hour… And because I don’t think a set of acrylic nails matches my sporty life, I go through life with either bare nails or a subtle French. This is one of the struggles you will surely recognize if you, like me, spend time in the gym every day. But there is of course more. How many points can you check off?

1. I admire our Maytje for the fact that she walks around every day ready to be put through a hoop and really, I wish I had even a bit of her genes, but if you’re a sports junkie like me, you know you prefer to float around in a sports bra and leggings. Fortunately, there is Deblon Sports for that.
2. At least twice a week you have to come down the stairs sitting, those leg days are a pain in the ass.
3. Nice lingerie set? My underwear drawer is full of that. But that Nike sports bra is so much more comfortable, right?
4. Where you make a normal person happy with a bar of Tony’s, you do Team Fit a big favor with a protein bar. By the way, did you know they taste even better if you pop them in the microwave for just a moment?
5. Handbag with you when you go out? How about stuffing your pockets or filling your waist belt? Comfort over fashion.
6. You’ve never heard of Abel or Uber. You do everything by bike or on foot.
7.  You’re open to dating, but only either in the park to eat up some kilometers or in the gym to see how strong you are. ‘Mr. Maybe he’s the one’ is.
8. For you, no flashy watch on your wrist, you use your watch more to measure your heart rate or what am I saying? Your step count..
9. When people ask you how much you weigh, you can’t give an answer. But if they want to know your waist size or your body fat percentage, that’s an option.
10. The outside world knows you more au naturel than fully dressed up.
11. You wash your hair every day, and if possible, twice a day.
12. And if it really can’t be helped, dry shampoo is your best friend.
13. Your washing machine runs almost every day. And nine times out of ten, it’s sports washes. Because that one legging is just the most comfortable.
14. You’re in bed every day around bedtime for kids. Because yes, those muscles grow while you’re in dreamland..
15. You make use of every accessible climbing frame to increase your pull-up record.
16. Sunday is a rest day, but not for you. On this day, your countertop is loaded with Tupperware containers, broccoli stalks, and packs of rice.
17. Because yes, hunger. A L W A Y S hungry.
