    STRENGTH doesn't come from what you CAN do. It comes from OVERCOMING the things you ONCE thought you COULDN'T!

    :drinker: (lifting my water to everyone)...Thanks for all of your motivational sayings, too!

    Listen to the MUSTN'Ts child, Listen to the DON'Ts
    Listen to the SHOULDN'Ts the IMPOSSIBLEs
    The WON'Ts
    Listen to the NEVER HAVES
    then listen close to me
    ANYTHING can happen, child
    ANYTHING can be


    I probably got the spacing all wrong but it's a Shel Silverstein poem. One of my favorites.

    My fav at this moment is
    "Im losing weight for me. But im also doing it as a big SCREW YOU to all the people out there who never gave me a chance because i was fat."

    other motivation quotes during workout/diet;

    "Youve come too far to take orders from cookie"
    "you may not have your dream body by the time you were hoping, but you'll look a hell of a lot better than you do now"
    "The secret to successful weightloss is simple; self love." < that one is on my ticker.

    Today is never too late to be brand new.

    And I like working out to the song Boom Boom Pow, when they say "gotta get that boom boom boom" because I just gotta get that boom boom boom. Haha
