I know this is based on running...which I used to do frequently before a foot injury. But this quote is one I live by and whenever I want to quit I remeber this:

"Winning has nothing to do with racing. Most days don't have races anyway. Winning is about the struggle and effort and optimism and never, ever, ever giving up!"

Remember, we are all winning!!!!

    i don't know if it keeps me going, but it really helped me in the beginning with my food intake...... "If You Fail to Plan, You Plan to Fail"....... This applies to making sure you have healthy food options in the house, so you do not end up eating garbage because it's the only option.

    I love this! That will really help me :)

    P.S. I hate that Charlie Sheen ruined the word "winning" for me.

    In response to a post about "how to get started" running, or something like this:

    "Seriously, the best training is going out and putting one foot in front of the other."

    I friended that person, I only wish I could remember who it was, because it has pulled me, a non-runner, off the couch more times than I can count.

    Life is not a race- Its a journy- and every journey must start with a single step. Enjoy it while it lasts!

    Oh, I love that one, too! Thanks for the motivational quotes. I used this one on my daughters all the time:

    "Can't" died when"Can" came along. They hated it so much growing up - but they use it on their own kids now.

    :wink:
