    “I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.”

    You can suck it up now, then you won't have to suck it in later.

    Would you rather be covered in sweat at the gym, or clothes at the beach?

    :) they're my favourite. x

    If you do what you always did, expected what you always got. <my personal favourite.

    Don't worry about going slow, worry about standing still.

    Appreciate the incredible opportunity you have to become fit. You have to prepare your meals, but many have no meals to prepare. It's hard to train before or after work, but many are out of work. Lifting weights takes effort, but some can't even lift their body from a wheelchair or bed. This is a privilege, so make the absolute most you can out of it. From that perspective, there are no failures—only opportunities.

    "Careful" by paramore

    I settled down a twisted up frown
    Disguised as a smile, well
    You would have never known

    I had it all
    But, not what I wanted
    'cause hope for me was a place uncharted and overgrown

    You'd make your way in
    I'd resist you just like this

    You can't tell me to feel
    The truth never set me free
    So, I did it myself

    You can't be too careful anymore
    When all that is waiting for you
    Won't come any closer
    You've got to reach out a little more
    More
    More
    More, more

    Open your eyes
    Like I opened mine
    It's only the real world.
    A life you will never know

    Shifting your weight
    To throw off the pain
    Well you can ignore it
    But only for so long

    You look like I did
    You resist me just like this

    You can't tell me to heal
    And it hurts remembering
    How it felt to shut down

    You can't be too careful anymore
    When all that is waiting for you
    Won't come any closer
    You've got to reach out a little more
    More
    More
    More, more

    The truth never set me free
    The truth never set me free
    The truth never set me free
    So, I'll do it myself........

    If this is the end (The sound of belief) LYRICS by greek fire
    If this is the end (The sound of belief)
    If this is the end…
    well it wasnt invited
    If this is the end…
    I dont know how to fight it.
    If this is the end…
    most times i was overwhelmed..
    If this is the end…
    I’m not sure when I was myself
    I wanna wave the flag of surrender
    while I am starting a war
    I wanna be the lonely hero
    a million miles from shore
    I wanna know that you understood me
    and every minute I cost
    I wanna hear that “all is forgiven”
    for every moment I lost
    if this is the end
    If this is the end…
    I wanna be screaming genius
    if this is the end…
    I wanna admit I was wrong
    If this is the end…
    I wanna leave a disaster
    and if this is the end…
    dont wanna leave you alone
    I wanna wave the flag of surrender
    while im starting a war
    I wanna be the lonely hero
    a million miles from shore
    I wanna know that you understood me
    and everybody I crossed
    I wanna hear that “all is forgiven”
    for all the love I lost
    Now that im asking the question
    I’m finding out who I am
    I fought this world with aggression,
    but found me lost in the end
    I’ve got a new revelation
    I’m letting go with both hands
    and every single emotion
    has a voice again
    can you hear it?
    Thats the sound of belief.

    this song is about cancer, suddenly hitting the drummer of the band spring 2012, but so often weightloss is like fighting a war, and understanding yourself and your journey .......it is a song about hope

    Twin Atlantic - Free lyrics

    Woah, where's you passion, where's your fire tonight,
    Woah, I can't believe there's nothing you're willing to hide,
    Woah, I want to believe,
    I set my body on fire so I could be free.

    So I could be free, yeah.
    So I could be free,
    So I could be free, yeah.

    And don't be told it can't be done, because the best all die young,
    Yeah we all feel the same.

    set my body on fire is DOMS, of course........

    That's not sweat. It's liquid awesome!


    Squats. The difference between having a butt and an *kitten*.


    lyric from bring me to life by evanescence:
    all this time I can't believe I couldn't see
    kept in the dark but you were there in front of me
    I’ve been sleeping a thousand years it seems
    got to open my eyes to everything
