    I'm not much for motivational quotes, but I read one on here last week that I really like. I probably don't remember it exactly, but :

    --Will power is like a muscle, the more you use it, the stronger it gets.--

    I mentally added that, like a muscle, overexertion can lead to failure.

    "If someone get you lemons, say *kitten* it and bail."

    Just kidding..."It's not the blowing of the wind that determines your destination, it's the set of the sail."
    So let's get on it and set a beautiful sail that will help us guide and get through those rough waters ahead. WE CAN DO IT!!!!

    "If you're too busy to workout...then your priorities need to change." (I need this one a lot).

    "The tragedy of life doesn't lie in not reaching your goal. The tragedy lies in having no goal to reach."

    "you are entirely up to you. Make your body. Make your life. Make yourself."

    "Allow yourself to be a beginner. No one starts off being excellent."

    "A river cuts through a rock not because of its power but its persistence."

    If you do the work, you don't need to worry about it.

    One of my favorites is "sweat more, b*tch less."

    I printed a cover for my fitness journal and added that as one of (many) phrases. I got the spacing wrong so it says "sweat more, b*tch" and the "less" ended up on a different line.

    Oops!
