      This poem by Charles Simic:

      Fear
      Fear passes from man to man
      Unknowing,
      As one leaf passes its shudder
      To another.
      All at once the whole tree is trembling.
      And there is no sign of the wind

      I have my own theme song that's helping me right now...Try Again by Shakira - from the Zootopia movie. No matter what, just keep going!

      This quote always pops into my head when I hear someone say, “You’re lucky that you can push yourself to workout and/or eat better”.
      “I'm a greater believer in luck, and I find the harder I work the more I have of it”
      ~ Thomas Jefferson

      This is my go to, to keep me from quitting.
      "Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up."
      ~Thomas A. Edison

      "You don't have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great"

      "If I give up now I will soon be back to where I started......and when I started out, I so desperately wanted to be where I am today"

      A lot of what CT says motivates me. I'm not the type to want happy/cheery types when I'm working out. I've worked with a few trainers and physical therapists, aalways tell them I'm looking for someone to push me. I don't want pity and I'm not giving any excuses.

      The journey is hard.
      The journey is long .
      But the journey is worth it.

      This gets me through every day.

      "Burn the ships."

      I'm finding this very motivational right now. It came from an online Muscle and Fitness article about the workout of Tom Hopper and the cast of Black Sails and their gym's motto of "Burn the ships.". It's about not looking back and only going forward. So I'm not worrying about the starts and stops of the past and focusing on making sustainable changes going forward.

      Looking for a motivational quotes has one major flaw...It means you're looking for motivation, which is fleeting. Look to make habits and you'll never need motivation again.

      This is going to sound silly and kind of wrong at first, by hear me out. The dance coach in Bring It On said

      "Imagine what you usually eat. Now divide that in half. This is called a diet."

      Obviously, those girls didn't need to go on diets, dieting that way can be harmful, especially for teenagers, etc, etc, but it kind of blew my mind because at the time I was trying to over-engineer my eating and exercise regimen when really, it is as simple as eating less = losing weight.

      Half a chocolate bar instead of the whole thing...I can do that.

      Maybe the journey isn't so much about becoming anything. Maybe it's unbecoming everything that isn't you, so you can be who you were meant to be in the first place.

      Health is not an occasional choice. It is a way of life.
