in Motivation and Support
Mine was from a lady that I met in Zumba class. She recently did a Boot camp offered with our gym. When I asked how hard the class was she said "it's only an hour...YOU CAN DO ANYTHING FOR JUST AN HOUR" Since then, I keep that in mind, and I can do anything for an hour...

    Way back when, a WW leader said that no food tastes as good as skinny feels. I thought she was a nutcase, personally.

    But now I totally get it.

    I agree with the Weight Watchers slogan from back in the day. "Nothing tastes as good as being thin feels."

    "You either do this or have trouble getting pregnant" - my doc.

    Nothing compares.

    On a less personal note..

    Knowing is not enough; we must apply.
    Willing is not enough; we must do.

    The only work-outs you regret are the ones you don't do.

    It's a long one!

    "Love yourself.
    Make peace with who you are
    and where you are at this moment in time.
    Listen to your heart
    If you can't hear what it's saying in this noisy world.
    Make time for yourself.
    Enjoy your own company.
    Let your mind wander among the stars.
    Try.
    Take chances.
    Make mistakes.
    Life can be messy
    and confusing at times,
    but it's also full of surprises.
    The next rock in your path might be a stepping-stone.
    Be happy.
    When you' don't have what you want,
    want what you have.
    Make do.
    That's a well-kept secret of contentment.
    There aren't any shortcuts to tomorrow.
    You have to make your own way.
    To know where you're going
    is only part of it.
    You need to know where you've been too.
    And if you ever get lost, don't worry.
    The people who love you will find you.
    Count on it.
    Life isn't days and years.
    It's what you do with time
    and with all the goodness and grace
    that's inside you.
    Make a beautiful life...
    The kind of life you deserve"

    Birthday greeting card from my parents I got 6 birthdays ago....I kept it and framed it, I just love the message so much!

    At the peak of tremendous and victorious effort, while the blood is pounding in your head, all suddenly becomes quiet within you. Everything seems clearer and whiter than ever before, as if great spotlights had been turned on. At that moment, you have the conviction that you contain all the power in the world, that you are capable of everything, that you have wings. There is no more precious moment in life than this, the white moment, and you will work very hard for years just to taste it again.” -- Yuri Vlasov
