    Honestly anything that comes out of Rob Bailey's mouth. Dana Linn Bailey and Rob are people I absolutely idolize in their morals and their work ethics. I can't even begin to list the things he's said that keep me going but "Show the world who the *kitten* you are!" is definitely a go to when I'm wearing down and need those last few reps.

    "Excuses don't burn calories." I read that on Reddit somewhere, it really stuck with me.

    I like it. One of my favorites is..
    "Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain."
    So when I'm having an "off" day I think to myself "Ok, how can I jam out and conquer these obstacles." So like when I'm sluggish or want to indulge in some treats I choose a half way mark. I don't burn myself out and I don't blow my calorie mark.

    Long before I was the overweight Dad with a beer gut trying to get his life back, I was the skinny nerd in high school who eventually obtained a good physique once I quit caring what others thought...and quite honestly...I was a "late bloomer" :( Well I am back chasing the Physique I thought was never possible to obtain again...

    It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.
