What is your Motto?

badgermama220

The first week or so of changing my eating and exercise habits was rough. I quickly decided that I needed a strong motto to keep me going.

I can, and I will.

When I want to stop on the elliptical after only 5 minutes, I start repeating it in my head. When I want to go home instead of doing 10 more reps, I will chant it under my breath. When I'm stressed out, and reaching for a bag of junk, it gives me enough pause to really evaluate what I'm doing (most times, chocolate has yet to surrender to my motto).

Do you have a motto or phrase that you keep in the back of your mind to motivate you when it gets tough?

Doing right is important... Doing right now is so much more so.

The dream is free but the hustle is sold separate. Then Grab your fat area your not happy with when you want to quit and and say- I will not accept failure.

I like how you worded it...Practice a little patience. I'm always trying to remind myself it all didn't come on at once & it won't all come off at once.

In bocca al luppo. In the mouth of the wolf = good luck. Many people say luck has nothing to do with it but I am my own wolf so I am in a battle against myself. Some parts of me will die so that others can live.
