Hi Everyone!

Yesterday my personal trainer said something to me that I found really motivating and I thought I would share it here in case it helps anyone else:

'What you eat today, you wear tomorrow'

Simple but it kept me on track in the evening when I was at an all you can eat Indian Buffet - I terrible place to be when you are trying to lose weight for your holidays!

Anyone else have a phrase or mantra that they tell themselves when they find themselves reaching for the biscuits/crisps/*insert temptation here*!

    Don’t cry to give up, cry to keep going. Don’t cry to quit. You’re already in pain, you’re already hurt. Get a reward from it. -Eric Thomas

    "We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then is not an act but a habit." Aristotle as quoted in Grit to Great, page 3. I just found that one last night, but it's going on the bathroom mirror because there's nothing in my life it can't apply to.

    I think I feel a paradigm shift coming on.

    A bird that sits in a tree is never afraid of the branch breaking because her trust is not on the branch but on her own wings!

    ALWAYS BELIEVE IN YOUR SELF!

    These are all awesome! Especially like 'Don’t cry to give up, cry to keep going. Don’t cry to quit. You’re already in pain, you’re already hurt. Get a reward from it'!

    Thanks for the extra motivation!
