    I've been fairly partial to:
    I'll beat my *kitten* today to kick yours tomorrow.

    It keeps me punching the bag when my shoulders are already tapping out and asking to go get ice cream.

    Go Forth. Be Fabulous.


    "If being fabulous was easy- everyone would do it"

    <stranger asks>
    are you training for something

    <me>
    Yeah- I'm training to be fabulous- and in the case there is a competition for most fabulous ever- I'm going to rock that *kitten* like no one's business.

    I power walk and recently read....."Run like you are being chased." Now I walk as if I am being chased.

    When I even think about quitting my walk less than 5 miles I repeat to myself " You do not quit until you are done." Keeps me going every time.

    I was always afraid to try things out of fear if failure,like running or even being to hard on myself when I have a "bad" eating day. So my mantra is my profile pic:

    "Suckin' at something is the first step to being sorta good at something".

    Mine is:
    "If you really want to change, you must be willing to be uncomfortable."

    This is what gets me through when I don't want to work out, or I get a hunger pain for something I know I should not have.

    Recenty, the one that has been resonating with me most is "suck it up, buttercup"

    "I will never be ### pounds again!" Where ### is my current weight rounded up to the nearest tenths place. I.E. I see every 10 as a bench mark to never climb above again.
