    Posted this in the thread about diet quotes, but this is one of my favorite quotes that an online friend who is a BB coach said to me once, "Dieting is for looking good with your clothes on, exercising is for looking good with your clothes off" It reminds me of why I want to work out so hard (not necessarily to look better naked, but hell, what a motivator) and to remind myself to eat better to look good with my clothes on

    Don't know if these have already been said but these are some that I like so much I wrote them on my wall!

    "Reason: Why you do something
    Excuse: What you tell yourself/others to get out of doing something"

    "A year from now you'll wish you started today."

    "Write down how you feel after you finish a really intense workout. Now write down how you feel when you blow off your workout. Compare the two."

    Whatever brought you here, it ain't gonna take you there.

    The two below are not so much quotes but they motivate me alright:
    - I try to break a sweat everyday - Matthew McConaughey in response to what he did to keep his body the way it was.
    - I won't miss that half the same way I don't miss food I had to reject in the past - Myself when I split big meal and store for later or throw away.

    “I wake up every day with the realization that this is it, that there’s only one shot at this life and I can either enjoy the ride and live it to its fullest and to my highest potential or I can stay the way I am.”

    "I may not be the strongest, I may not be the fastest, but I'll be damned if I'm not trying my hardest!"'

    “You own this mind of yours, control it! If you do, at the end of the day you’ll stand a little taller, grow a little stronger and move one step closer to every one of your goals.”

    Mine is the Rage Against the Machine lyric in my profile. It is used politically in the song, which I support, but I also use it to get through many obstacles in life when laziness is not an option.

    "It has to start somewhere. It has to start sometime. What better place than here? What better time than now?!"
