    This was my life changing quote.

    "There's a difference between interest and commitment. When you're interested in doing something, you do it only when it's convenient. When you're committed to something, you accept no excuses; only results."

    "A year from now you will wish you started today"

    That was my light bulb moment

    DITTO!!! And here it is a year and some months later...I'm so glad I started...

    "It never gets easier, you just get better"

    "It will hurt. It will take time. It will require dedication. It will require willpower. You will need to make healthy decisions. It requires sacrifice. You will need to push your body to its max. There will be temptation. But, I promise you, when you reach your goal, it's WORTH IT!"

    "You are entirely up to you. Make your body. Make your life. Make yourself."

    "Excuses are useless, results are priceless."

    "When you feel like quitting: think about why you started."

    My most favorite: "Nothing is impossible, the word itself says I'm possible!" - Audrey Hepburn

    They all helped me start off. I had them posted all over my house and all over my office at work.

    Not that I am a huge Kennedy fan, but his quote from the moon speech as driven a lot of what I have done in my life, "... and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win..."
