    I forget where I read or heard this first, but I have been using it a lot lately..."when you get tired, do 1 more!"

    I've heard that too and I love it, I use it. Whoever was the first to say that is a wise person :)

    I just think about something that makes me angry (usually an ex), and suddenly I've got a burst of energy to get much more intense.

    The quote that runs through my head is:

    “Unless You Puke, Faint or Die, Keep Going!”
    ― Jillian Michaels

    Every time I feel like stopping I imagine her yelling at me hahaha

    Too be quite honest... Sex. Sex is a great and awesome motivation during work outs... Knowing that I can last 25 minutes on the elliptical means I can spend a WHOLE minute in bed... Just kidding... But yeah, sex is a good motivation too realize that there is less mass between me and the wife and more stamina when it counts.

    I repeat "Find Your Strong - You got this!" and focus on the areas that I specifically am working on. It helps me a ton... even if I have to hear that mantra a thousand times during my nearly-daily 5k (run/walked of course... I'm working on being able to run the whole thing yet)

    I always pick up the pace a little when my playlist gets to Eminem's "Lose Yourself" -

    "You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
    You own it, you better never let it go
    You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
    This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo"

    Not a huge Eminem fan, in general, but that pumps me up during my runs!

    (Also during runs when I feel like I'm plodding along like a clydesdale... I sing "Float, flutter, fly..." from a Backyardigans episode!) :embarassed:

    I have this theory that when you get engaged pounds just melt off your body, i've never met a bride who gained weight before their wedding....hahaha so somebody put a ring on my finger because i have 16 pounds to go!

    when i had a trainer there wasn't a workout i didn't tell him i hated him and how he wasn't my favorite person. but of course when we were done i always told him how awesome he is.....that's how i lost 50 lbs.

    congratulations on your wedding! i'm sure you're going to make a stunning bride :)
