I guess the title says it all. Thought it would be fun to hear, especially if it is something that runs through your head to keep you motivated to exercise or keeps you from indulging in something that wouldn't be good for your healthy lifestyle.

    Mine is "Nothing tastes as good as fit feels." This is soooo true, because I stopped training for 2 months and am miserable. I started back up and am already reaping the benefits.

    "She wished she could, so she did."

    Saw someone posted it awhile back and fell in love with it.
    I think it is so important for people to realize they have power.

    "Someday I won't be able to run. Today is not that day." - Unknown. I think I read it here on MFP by another member.

    I have thought about this a lot. It really makes me grateful, rather than resentful, to be able to move my body. I substitute "run" for walk, yoga, lift weights, etc. - depending on the day.

    You, obviously, have never had cheescake. :wink:

    And I used to agree with that statement until someone suggested it leads to an unhealthy attitude towards food.

    "...and i had the courage to start."

    it is the end of a longer quote about starting and finishing but i just really like that line...i'm kinda lazy and non-athletic and none of that makes a difference...i had the courage to start!

    I like your "Suck it up so you don't have to suck it in"

    One that really woke me up was: "Let bad food go to waste, otherwise your body becomes the trash can"

    "Good things come to those who wait...or those who are willing to stand up and get **** done"

    "The only one who can tell you "You Can't" is you...and you don't have to listen."


    Those are the only two I can think of right now! Have a great day everyone!
