    Soooo appropriate since yesterday was May the 4ce be with you! lol! I like this because even when you get up to do to "try" something new, you are still doing. Practice make perfect and doing is better than quitting. Love it!

    Remember that poem that goes something like "Success is failure, the silver tint of the cloud of doubt..." Basically, sometimes people give up too easily when in doubt and feeling they are failing. If they had stayed the course a little longer, they would have discovered success.

    Don't give up! Stay the course!! You are worth it!!!

    One of my all-time favorites:

    "It's not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena....who, at best, knows in the end the triumph of great achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly. So that his place will never be with those cold timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat." Theodore Roosevelt

    I was feeling great this morning and decided to do a second workout (45 minutes of cardio). For some reason, it made me think of a motivational video I saw years ago. If you haven't seen the 212 degree video, here it is. Please note that you will need to click on the Watch on YouTube link.

    Clear your mind of can't! Love it!!

    From Linda Spangle email (I love her stuff):

    I frequently hear people say that they work “so hard” all day, and then undo
    all of their efforts every night. One of my colleagues used
    to refer to this as “diet mornings and pig-out evenings!”

    While you may not be able to conquer this pattern overnight,
    here are three steps that will help you start to change your
    routine.

    1. Follow the “new math” for weight loss

    To make consistent progress with any weight-loss plan, you
    need to be on your program 95% of the time. If you do the
    math, this means staying on track 19 out of 20 days!

    Rather than assume you have to be perfect for a year, set a
    goal of 19 days on your plan. Track it, monitor it, and push
    hard to accomplish it.

    Anytime you have a day that’s not quite on program, just
    assume it’s one of your 20 days. But that’s the only break
    you get. If you have more than one out of 20 days off your
    plan, you’re decreasing your odds for success.

    Mark your progress on a calendar and push for 19 days in a
    row. When you reach that point, you can either start
    counting again or choose to have one slightly relaxed day,
    then start a new 20-day run.
