I'm starting my exercise routine in the new year, as part of a tip from "16 Ways to Get Motivated When You’re in a Slump" - I'm building anticipation by NOT starting right away. As one of the ways I'm getting myself super excited to get started, I am going through all my old issues of Fitness magazine (and old copies of Collage Video catalogs) and making an inspiration scrapbook using those peel and stick pages and a three ring binder. It's load of fun, and getting me very excited to BRING IT in the new year - plus it will be something I can go back to and look through or add to later when I'm feeling down and needing a boost of motivation.

A lot of the pictures are very big though, and I find myself with some small gaps to fill in. Any thoughts on good motivational fitness quotes or phrases?
