What is your favorite? I have been trying to give myself a quote of the day/week to live up and and keep myself motivated!


Current favorite:

You don't get it by staring...
You don't get it by wishing...
You don't get it by drooling...
You don't get it by hoping...
You don't get it easy...
You get it by getting off your *kitten* and working for it.

All Time Favorite:

Never let the fear of striking out, keep you from playing the game!

    "Our greatest glory consist not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall."

    We all know, when trying to loss weight, we always have days where we fall, the point is getting back on track and starting all over again. Even, if it takes a thousand time trying, as long as one day we achieve our goal..

    I am hopeing this year will be the year I finally reach by goal, so far this is the most weight I have ever loss in a short period of time..and I am going to reach that goal......

    I'm not sure how motivational these are, but they are my current faves that are keeping me going:

    -If you want something bad enough, you'll find a way. If not, you'll find an excuse.

    -Self control is easy. That thing you want to do that will keep you fat? Don't.

    "The voice that says you can't is a lying slut"

    "Imagine yourself a year from now with the body you have always wanted. All your hard work finally being paid off. Exercise, eat healthy, stay positive. You will get there."

    "If you're sick of starting over, you have to stop quiting"

    "Don't quit. You're already in pain. You're already hurt. Get a reward from it."

    "The thing about reaching your goal weight is it's 100% possible. It's completely in your control. The only thing stopping you from getting there is you. So get out of the way."

    "You won't fail if you're not perfect, you'll fail if you're not committed to improving yourself slightly each day."

    "What would you attempt, if you knew you could not fail?"

    "Don't sacrifice your future for a momentary pleasure"

    "Obstacles are what we see when we take our eyes off the goal."

    "Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions. Watch your actions; they become habits. Watch your habits; they become character. Watch your character; it becomes your Destiny."

    "The road to someday, leads to the town of nowhere. Procrastination is the silent killer."

    “The brick walls are there for a reason. The brick walls are not there to keep us out. The brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something. Because the brick walls are there to stop the people who don’t want it badly enough. They’re there to stop the other people.”
    ― Randy Pausch, The Last Lecture

    “The key question to keep asking is, Are you spending your time on the right things? Because time is all you have. ”
    ― Randy Pausch, The Last Lecture

    Are you a Tigger or an Eyore?”

    Quote from The River by Garth Brooks:

    Too many times we stand aside
    And let the waters slip away
    'Til what we put off 'til tomorrow
    Has now become today
    So don't you sit upon the shoreline
    And say you're satisfied
    Choose to chance the rapids
    And dare to dance the tide

    "It’s very hard in the beginning to understand that the whole idea is not to beat the other runners. Eventually, you learn that the competition is against the little voice inside you that wants you to quit."

    If you always put limit on everything you do, physical or anything else. It will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them.

    I dont have time to train, I MAKE time

    This is from another myfitnesspal poster who wrote

    "Forward is a pace."

    He was referring to treadmills and that he wasn't a fast runner. But, sometimes it feels as if I can just keep moving forward towards my goals, no matter the pace, I will get there just like the turtle.
