    "Not Dead. Not Done. Keep going!"

    LOVE this one. I will say this to myself when I am doing my interval training! I want so badly to be able to jog for more than a minute without gasping for air. Not their yet, but this will hopefully push me to go a little bit longer before switching to a brisk recovery walk.

    Even better idea, I need this to come through my headphones as back ground noise?? :happy:

    "Our doubts are traitors, and make us lose the good we oft might win, by fearing to attempt." ~William Shakespeare

    and a reminder:

    "No one has ever felt proud about NOT going to the gym." I don't know to whom that one should be attributed.

    I've always told my kids "Can't means don't want to". Now that I'm training for a half-marathon they tell me that!!!

    This one is definitely more geared towards sports, but you can think about it also as... "if you don't try, you won't succeed"

    Whenever I am in the middle of something (exercise) that is getting intense and I want to quit....an RPM class.....an exercise video.....a 5K run. I figure about how much time I have left...and I remind myself. "Amy - you can endure ANYTHING for XX minutes"

    If it's just something else crappy I'm trying to get through..stressful day....toddler tantrums......some event I don't want to go to..."THIS TOO SHALL PASS"

    And if I'm trying to talk myself out of eating something delicious that will blow my diet. Well hell - I don't have anything for that. Which is why the scale isn't budging lately. Need to go through and read all these and get steal some for that. :)

    It's the end of a much longer quote that I have written in ny log book.

    "That moment you discover that the person you thought you were is no match for the one you really are."

    And my other is "Your excuse is invalid!"

    "If you still look good at the end of your workout, you didnt work hard enough!" :D

    I love this one. I always look in the mirror to see if I am the right shade of red before leaving the gym.
