An Item That Gets You Through Your Workout?

This is my most commonly worn workout shirt, with a Star Wars quote that motivates me to do a few more reps of whatever I'm doing.
Do you guys wear anything that's motivational, or carry something with you that reminds you to work hard?

    My Fitbit! I don't leave home without it and I look at it throughout my workout and always try to burn a few more cals than the day before.

    My HRM!!! Have had it for a few months and will not train without it and if I don't hit a number I want I'll keep going! It makes you very accountable and realise when you are not pushing as hard as you should be!

    When I'm on the elliptical, I watch True Blood. All those hott bodies are pretty great motivation!!

    If I had that shirt I would get super motivated as well. I've been looking for a good shirt that says "Do or do not, there is no try". I just make sure I have water handy and then keep repeating "don't call it in - give it full effort!"

    I carry a small bag with 2 water bottles, my weight training routine ( it changes every 6 weeks) and a towel.

    Could not live without these things!

    I guess I am the only one that gets through a workout by looking at the eye candy....a guy that works at my gym has the best looking azz and if he is cleaning the treadmills while I lift it gives new meaning to the word inspiration lol

    @ susanlowery: Hahah! That is too funny. Here on campus, there are too many (not-so-hot) guys walking around with their super-large-armholed shirts, thinking they're God's gift to women, and they're pretty annoying.
    However, I have to say that attractive guys making the exercise face as they lift weights are pretty motivational too. It just makes me think: "I should be working *THAT* hard like that guy over there."
