When youre getting winded...what do you say?

Motivational quotes and all that sort of thing just annoy me. I must be the only person in the world who sees some motivational quote and immediately forms a sarcastic response to it and is less motivated than before I read it.

Usually I just put my inner Sheldon Cooper to work. "Okay, you've been on this elliptical for 37 minutes and 14 seconds. You can't stop on a number like that. Go to 40, then you can stop. 40 is a nice round number." Then I get to 40 and think "Well if you're that close to 45 minutes it'd just be silly to stop." Etc. Works for distances too. I always round up a little, because it'd be silly to be that close and not keep going just to have a nice neat number at the end.

I push myself to make it another 5 minutes and then another 5 minutes... etc.

I do this too while telling myself "You can do it, you can do it, you can do it"

I get mad, and tell myself "Pick it up, b*tch, pick it UP!"
