WHAT I EAT:

Every time I eat or drink, I am either feeding disease or I am fighting it.
If I don’t recognize an ingredient, neither will my body.
Exercise is rewarding my body with endorphins and strength, not punishing it for what I have eaten.
Eat to meet long term goals, not short term satisfaction.
If I do not take time to eat healthy, I will take time to deal with illness later.
Discipline is about choosing what I want most instead of what I want right now.
Avoid foods that have TV commercials.
Fat lasts longer than flavor.
Keep calm and ignore junk food.
Nothing tastes as good as healthy feels.
WHY I EXERCISE:

When I think about quitting, or not working out, remember why I started.
Working out makes me better today than I was yesterday.
I must shape myself into the person I want to be.
My level of success is determined by my level of effort.
Look in the mirror. That is my competition.
Commitment: either you do or you don’t. There is no in-between.
Sore today means stronger tomorrow.
I don’t find time to exercise, I make time to exercise.
Thinking about working out burns zero calories.
That sweat-drenched feeling after a workout: fat crying, liquid awesome, steamy contentment.

    My favorite is " Losers throw in the towel, winners use it to wipe up sweat."

    So I keep on wiping.

    I have a wallpaper on my computer that I keep thinking of changing (I'm constantly changing them, I get bored! lol) but them I see it & it motivates me. It's a lone female running after a rain and it says:

    "If you focus on results you will never change.
    If you focus on change, you will get results."
    ~Jack Dixon

    Don't know who Jack Dixon is, but I've quoted this several times when I have been running!

    Life is too short to wake up with regrets. So love the people who treat you RIGHT. Forget about the one's who DON'T. Believe everything happens for a reason. If you get a 2ND CHANCE, grab it with both hands. If it changes your life, let it! Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it!

    My Top 3 are:

    "If it doesn't challenge you, it doesn't change you"

    "It takes 4 weeks for you to see your body change.
    It takes 8 weeks for friends and family.
    It takes 12 weeks for the rest of the world.
    Don't quit."

    "If you focus on results you will never change.
    If you focus on change, you will get results."

    Love this, it's always credited to Buddha, but doesn't fit his teachings. Not sure who it was, but it works.

    'You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.'
