    "If your why is strong enough, you can get through almost any how"
    Or something like that.

    Good things come to those who work their *kitten* off and never give up.

    I have 2 that always come to mind and think of every day.

    "Small Daily Improvements Are The Key To Staggering Long-Term Results."
    "A Negative Mind Will Never Give You A Positive Life."

    Happy New Year!!!!
    One that isn't fitness related, but something to keep in mind....

    Two of my favs:

    "We can either make ourselves happy or miserable. The amount of work is the same."

    "If you don't like the road you're walking, start paving another one."

    "I will...just watch me!"
    An hour of working out is only 4% of your day....
    At first, they will ask WHY you're doing it. Later they will ask you How you did it.

    What saying motivates me?

    That my *kitten* isn't going to get smaller by just thinking about it.

    The scale doesn't lie.

    NOTHING tastes as good as skinny feels.

    Time to quit the "wine-ing" and excuses. I am fat because of this. Time to be accountable.

    I have a ton more too that I tell myself on a daily basis:)

    I finally have come to believe that. One day I just realized that I felt fantastic... and it was a better feeling than eating a dozen donuts. ;-)

    Especially during the Holiday season I've been keeping this in mind.......

    Every time I run I tell myself: "Quit when the timer is done not when you are done." So far I haven't had a run I stopped before the pre run goal time.

    I don't believe anyone has said this one yet, this is a saying I have had and used since I was in 8th grade or earlier.

    "Nothing to it. but to do it"

    Sometimes the motivation to start is more powerful than reaching the goal.

    I saw something yesterday that I totally related to. I wish I could remember exactly how it goes. It was something like:

    "There's a reason the windshield is bigger than the rear view mirror. Stay focused on where you're going, not what you left behind."

    "Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels."

    I think it's true. I would feel fantastic at a healthy weight while I only feel good while eating junk. After I'm done, I feel awful the rest of the day. It's not worth it.
