Recently I was on a walk with my husband and I was complaining about how much I hate working out, I don't get that same high that he does after he works out. And he stopped, looked at me and said, Embrace The Suck"
I looked and him and said, "what?!"
Aparently it is a military saying:
"Embrace the suck:"Translation: The situation is bad, so deal with it
"Embrace the suck" isn't merely a wisecrack; it's a raw epigram based on encyclopedic experience. Face it, soldier. I've been there. This ain't easy. Now let's deal with it"
I love this!! Embrace the suck...I'm going to post this on my fridge
He actually ordered me a military patch with the saying on it for me. I haven't decided where I am going to put it yet, but it needs to be somewhere to remind me!

Happy Hump Day!!
I hope you are all doing well so far..we have made it halfway through our workweek. We are still getting new people joining half way through the month and thats great! The more the merrier and I do hope this is helping you all. I know it helps me. I really enjoy reading your answers to the questions and celebrating your successes and being able to share our struggles! You are an awesome group of people!
Question for today....
Aside from anything fitness realated, what are some of your hobbies?1 -
I like reading, when i get a chance to finally sit down to pick up a book without any interuptions. I also like watcing certian TV series which I save for my rest day and I can just watch them all one after another. I also enjoy playing my guitar and I love to sing. I karaoke here at home with my boys every weekend. (This does not mean I have a good singing voice lol)2

I like to read and get through 3 books a week generally, reading has alway been a passion for me as far back as I can remember. I love to go for long walks with the dog but unfortunately I've torn my plantar fascia and the dog is 14 years old next month (labrador) and doesn't like to go so far any more. I also like to swim (also can't do this at the moment due to my Foot) and usually swim 3-5 times a week. I love to spend time with friends, especially over a cup of coffee to have a good natter and catch up on what's been going on with each of us over the week.

I don't really count walking and swimming as fitness related as I don't do it for that purpose....its my stress release more than anything else.1 -

Favourite motivational quote(s)?
Not weight loss specific, but just some quotes that have stuck with me.
"Honey, your odds go up when you file an application." - Win a Date with Tad Hamilton (Yes, it's a traditional chick flick, but it has really lasted in my mind. Lots of quotable quotes and some hard truths.)
"80 percent of life is showing up." - Woody Allen (I thought of this when battling through my agoraphobia, and still do when I'm really anxious. It helps me actually go do the things that need to be done.)2
