    Just do it. Works every time.

    It's as simple and awesome as that!

    When I first started I read on another message board "if you want it you'll find a way, if not you'll find an excuse". It really helped to to not make any excuses & stick with it :)

    Read this one on another post similar to this.....J.F.D.I.!!!!!! I just adopted it as my own.

    Kind of like "Just Do It" with a curse word added. :laugh: I imagine someone standing in my face screaming that at me.....kinda like a drill sergeant. :tongue:

    heeheee! sounds like team Jillian :-)

    Right now my phrase of choice is... I've Got The Power!!!!!!
    I know that people can motivate me all they want but ultimately it's down to me to run those last 5mins on the cross trainer..no one else will take my place - i got myself this way and its going to be me who gets me out :)

    OH! Cool! I hear the music in the background -- singing: I've got the power hey yeah heh

    I've got the power
    Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh yeah-eah-eah-eah-eah-eah
    I've got the power
    Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh yeah-eah-eah-eah-eah-eah
    Gettin' kinda heavy

    It's gettin' it's gettin' it's gettin' kinda hectic
    It's gettin' it's gettin' it's gettin' kinda hectic
    It's gettin' it's gettin' it's gettin' kinda hectic
    It's gettin' it's gettin' it's gettin' kinda hectic

    :-)

    'Failure is not an option' is my motivation atm.

    That's a good one - especially even when we think we have failed we get up and keep on going :-)

    I tell myself that I will have so much energy after I workout that I have no excuse. I also love the saying "Just Do it". It so does not leave any room for arguments.

    YEP - It really is a great feeling when we complete a workout :-)
