i know exactly what you mean. during faire season, i'm so busy on the weekends, and tired during the week, that i can't seem to get to the gym. so i rationalize by saying "but 8 hours for 2 days each weekend has GOT to be decent exercise!"
i was always small in high school, and even college. then i got out of my running around job, and took a desk job, and gained 10 pounds a year for 3-4 years. i panicked and joined a gym.
and i still steadily (slowly) gain cuz i keep skipping it. argh. why this obsession and desire to be 'a perfect weight' got started, i'll never know. if we LIVED in the renaissance, i'd probably be considered too skinny! voluptuous was in, then. oh to have those days back :)
anyway... i totally empathize with everything you said. and i'm right there with you. more time at the gym? or more time actually enjoying life and doing things you want to do? either way, there's an amount of guilt involved. blah!
