    Thanks!!! Yeah that David Campbell quote really is a great and simple reminder to persevere. I would like it to just pop up in neon lights every time I think I want another brownie or think I want to spend the whole day just lazing around. I guess that's when I can feel good about establishing some of these good habits that are keeping me on track even when I'm off track :tongue:

    So here's day 38 of 90:

    "Perseverance is failing 19 times and succeeding the 20th." -Julie Andrews

    Day 41 of 90:

    What is a Workout?

    A workout is 25 percent perspiration and 75 percent determination. Stated another way, it is one part physical exertion and three parts self-discipline. Doing it is easy once you get started.
    A workout makes you better today than you were yesterday. It strengthens the body, relaxes the mind, and toughens the spirit. When you work out regularly, your problems diminish and your confidence grows.
    A workout is a personal triumph over laziness and procrastination. It is the badge of a winner - the mark of an organized, goal-oriented person who has taken charge of his, or her, destiny.
    A workout is a wise use of time and an investment in excellence. It is a way of preparing for life's challenges and proving to yourself that you have what it takes to do what is necessary.
    A workout is a key that helps unlock the door to opportunity and success. Hidden within each of us is an extraordinary force. Physical and mental fitness are the triggers that can release it.
    A workout is a form of rebirth. When you finish a good workout, you don't simply feel better, YOU FEEL BETTER ABOUT YOURSELF.

    -By George Allen (former Washington Redskins Coach)

    I log my breakfast. Every morning. Even if I'm not going to be logging the rest of the day, which I usually don't anymore....getting that first thing in the morning mindset going of starting the day healthy and mindful of my choices helps me get through the rest of the day. Its become a habit...and I think its a good one.
    Inspirational quote? You're not a failure until you give up. If life knocks you down, keep getting up. You're still in the game until you take yourself out of it.

    I log breakfast lunch and snacks right after breakfast. Those meals don't change a whole lot and are pretty easy. Dinner I log right after or before I eat and I update water, snacks and exercise as I go. The app on the phone makes it easy as I wouldn't be able to log on from my work computer and after sitting in front of a computer all day I really don't want to use the home computer.

    45 days!!!!!!! :happy:

    I know that something so simple like logging in every day may not seem like such a big deal, but for a person like me it is. When it comes to my body and fitness, I've always been one to make many resolutions but never follow through. "Oh well," I tell myself, "I'll just start again tomorrow..."
    But tomorrow never comes.
    I'm learning to live today. Today is the day to follow through. Today is the day to do what I say I'm gonna do. I'm tired of repeating day 1 over and over again. Today is not another day 1-- it's day 45, and I have logged my food and exercise and posted something just like I said I would, every single day.
    It's true-- one day of logging really isn't a big deal and won't make a big difference in my overall health and fitness. But 45 days in a row does make a difference. Today I am very tired and sore from yesterday's workout. I had people over this morning and ate a large breakfast. But I feel good inside. I feel good because I am accountable and aware of every calorie. I feel good because I can look in the mirror with some satisfaction-- my body is a little more fit than it was a month and a half ago. My jeans fit better. I can see some muscle tone. And I grown to love logging on and following up with all the friends I've made on this site. Honestly, most days I get my enjoyment from seeing your progress rather than looking at mine. I mean, of course I love making progress, but it's not the most important thing anymore.
    So, halfway there, here is some inspiration for day 45 of 90:

    In This Moment

    I won't let my dreams
    No matter how marvelous they may be
    Keep me from the treasures of this moment

    And although I already miss the good of yesterday
    I will take another step in hope that it will be
    Worthy of remembrance tomorrow

    Thank you!!!
    Wow day 50 of 90 I feel so good inside—fitness is becoming a priority and a reality in my life where it used to seem just a fanciful dream.

    There was a time not long ago
    A mother who’d let herself go
    Decided that she’d had enough
    Of sitting on her widening duff
    Eating sweets with no concern
    Of calories consumed or burned
    But despite her clever plans to change
    Her weight would always stay the same
    And every time she lost a pound
    She’d gain back two with a frown
    But before resigning altogether
    She thought MFP might make it better
    With support, accountability and tools
    To help comply with weight loss rules
    And though changes made were hard to do
    She found the strength to follow through
    Thanks to friends who light the way
    And offer encouragement every day

    :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile:
