    My question always is: Will I regreted it? If I stay in bed, it's probably a yes. If I workout, it's a no for sure! I NEVER regret working out and sweating my a** off! :)

    I used to train a woman (who became a really good friend) and she would say "I'm a weak weak human being" over and over again. I worked for her, she lost 35 pounds and ran her first half marathon in 4 months.

    The best way to make me do something is to tell me i'm not capable or that I do not have the will.
    Like when my mum told me I wasn't capable of being vegan. I was vegan for 5 years 'til I couldn't find tofu to sell around here anymore. :laugh:
    So every time I want to motivate myself I think about those nasty comments about my weight or that I couldn't run or that I'm not strong-willed enough.
    But when I'm walking or running and I think my legs are about to fall I just keep thinking "You can do it!". Over and over.

    I have the memory of a 110 year old so I gave up on trying to remember motivational quotes a long time ago, but nothing works better for me than simply repeating to myself "stop being a lazy turd".

    What? It works! LOL :laugh:

    "It's all about power of will."
    My grandma tells me that a lot. In fact, she just said that when I all but crawled to the kitchen.
