sentence/phrase that helps you stay focused/eating/exercisin

I have a few pictures posed next to some workouts on the wall in my "exercise room / office" .

"Strength does not come from physical capacity but from indomitable will."
"Yesterday you said tomorrow"
You can feel SORE tomorrow or you can feel SORRY tomorrow. Your decision."
"No matter how slow you go you are still lapping everyone on the couch"


Most of my problems are actually getting myself to exercise, I don't have too much of a problem with food because I generally don't buy bad foods.I only have problems with will power if its something already purchased and in my house. I always think "Are you going to pay money to regret something?" . As I am a poor student this generally works for me.

Do you have one?

Yesterday someone posted a phrase they use (keep in their heads) to help them focus and/or conquer cravings or whatever...

Nothing tastes as good as slim feels (or something terrific like that)

Mine is, when I'm exercising and really wanting to quit, because I'm sweating or it's just plain hard is:

Ha! My fat is crying. CRY FAT ...CRY

How about you?

I haven't read the whole thread but I just had to say, I LOVE THIS! I printed out a dozen copies (in huge red letters) and taped them up all over my house. Can't wait to get back on the treadmill and when I start to struggle, just yell, "Cry, fat, CRY!!!!"

Here's another one I love;

Haha! Love it!

"You can suffer the pain of change or suffer remaining the way you are." --Joyce Meyer

When I'm doing c25k and increasing my time I always tell myself 'dont let your head quit before your legs"...it's my tendency to talk myself out of doing things, so it helps

That, and I'll write my daily workout(s) on a whiteboard above my bed and add in any inspirational quotes I find online or on pinterest

These are brilliant! I have written a couple down for myself.

Depending on what mood I am in or what I am doing:

"Patience not perfection"

and

"Man up B***h!!"

I like "Sweat is fat crying" and "no matter how slow you go, you are still lapping everyone on the couch"

Mine are "Excuses are for people who don't want it bad enough"
And also "Don't stop, push harder, keep going"

Simple and easy to remember and chant internally to push through the tough part of a workout.
I have tons of quotes I love but these 2 simple ones seem to run through my head the most while working out.

I have three: 1) The journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step. 2) Eventually something has got to change (if I'm not seeing results). 3) I'm sick of being fat!

But i like your's. Think I will add it.

Mine is a response to someone who says they don't have time to exercise. I say: Walk around the block during your lunch or break. They say: That is not enough to even count as exercise. So here it is~~~~I say: Remember when it comes to exercise, SOMETHING is better than NOTHING!

"Do not give up what you want the most, for what you want in the moment."

I live this lately!

I'm really digging the one about the Zombie Apocalypse, too funny, but sooo true!!!

During my runs, I like to think of each run as individual "free therapy". I don't have to pay for someone to listen to me talk about my worries; I can just run them out of my feet. So my main thought is "Cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap.."

Basically, I have the sound of marshmallow Peeps playing in my head. It's awesome.

For food: Nothing tastes as good as thin feels. I've lost 70 lbs and I can tell you it's 100% true.

For exercise: I have a bodybugg so I ask myself if I'm going to be happy with what I see later. If I feel like I can wring a few more calories burned out of myself then I know I need to try harder!
