My favorite 2 -

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

No matter how slow you go, you're still lapping everyone sitting on the couch...

I have these posted right next to my bed, so I see them when I get up every morning. Makes me continue to work even when I don't want to!

"Keep moving forward" and "No matter how slow you go, you are still lapping everyone on the couch!"

I have a few

Eat clean, train dirty.
If you don't work for it, you don't deserve it.
The task ahead of you is never greater than the strength within you.
If you're tired of starting over, stop giving up.
Wake up with determination, go to bed with satisfaction.
Don't stop when you're tired, stop when you're done.
Suck it up, and one day you won't have to suck it in.
A little sweat never hurt anyone.
The only bad workout is the one that never happened.
Strong is the new skinny.
It took more than a day to put on. It will take more than a day to take it off. Move.

Whenever I'm feeling a little wishy-washy about exercising, I remind myself: "You'll regret not doing it. You won't regret doing it." It's always true, and knowing that helps get me moving.

This is what I say if it gets to hard.

"shut the window"

from my Weight Watchers leader. If you left a window open at home or your car, and it started raining. Would you leave the window open and just say "oh well, damage is already done" or would you go shut the window? When I find myself eating junk, or too much of anything I hear her voice in my head saying "shut the window now!" and it usually works.

Small changes lead to big results!

mine would be "if you believe, then you can achieve"

I don't know why but my favorite is Jillian Michaels' "Unless you puke, faint or die, keep going." lol! A little intense, but when I'm doing a hard workout and really feel it burning and want to give up, I think of that saying and always end up pushing myself harder.

Mine is, when I'm exercising and really wanting to quit, because I'm sweating or it's just plain hard is:

Ha! My fat is crying. CRY FAT ...CRY

How about you?

Ha!! love this! I'm going to use it too! Thanks!! Cry fat cry! :sad:

"You have already been running for 3 hours, what's another hour? - marathon mindset

FoodieGal09

"Thin thighs, thin thighs, thin thighs", it's like my mantra.
I also like "cry fat, CRY!". Totally stealing that one.

If you worked out when you 1st thought about it, you'd be done by now

I workout as soon as i wake up in the AM, and if i WANT to sleep in, that phrase ALWAYS comes to mind(automatically) and then i get my butt out of bed, EVERYTIME lol

At my gym, there is an 8 1/2" x 11" printed-out picture on the bulletin board of a little blonde-haired boy, maybe 4 or 5 years old, with two artificial legs...he is running a race on a track with a HUGE smile on his face. It's made it's way around the internet a time or four, so you've probably seen it. Anyway, it says at the bottom of the picture, "Your Excuse Is Invalid." I guess that resonates with me the most...I just can't come up with an excuse that beats that little boy's smiling face. If he can be happy running on two artificial legs, I can get my fat *kitten* out of bed every morning and drag it to the gym.

Rock on, little man, wherever you are.

LOL a lot of the time when I "check in" on Facebook at the gym, I write "Because this butt won't shrink itself..."

If you run to the beer store, you can have one.
