    it usually happens near the end of my long runs. i tell myself "finish strong, finish strong"

    Also tell myself to suck it up when it is not a run.

    Was loosing motivation. Just caught my boyfriend of 9 years cheating. Made me feel like the ugliest girl on this plant. However it had gave me motivation to carry on.

    Your boyfriend is an A-hole and you are absolutely BEAUTIFUL! :smile:
    I agree with using that pain to fuel your workout motivation.

    I don't get how people can get fatigued or want to give up when working out. i don't really seem to have any problem doing it for hours.

    my mantra right now is "weight under 180 by september don't want to go back to 310" I also have a photo of me and one outfit from before my diet pinned up on the inside of my closet door. So if I don't feel like working out or want to pig out I just pull it open and look.

    Pain is only temporary is what I keep telling myself when things get tough. I also hate to see myself as a quitter so I just try to finish strong!

    I subdivide to small blocks of time, then remind myself that anyone can suffer for 5 more minutes.

    If you do this, you can have bacon.

    or

    I'm sexy and I know it. I work out!

    or

    Suck it up, dude. You're going to be so hot.

    You know, all the usuals.

    Blare Metal or Hard Rock on my ipod. Stops me from think about what I'm actually doing.

    No slogan for me I just think about how I used to look and what I look like now with what I want to look like in the future. I didn't get where I am by sitting and I won't get to where I want to be unless I push hard.

    I love this!! Gonna have to borrow that one! When I'm doing my long runs, I tell myself that I'm a machine! Makes me feel strong.

    I like to close my eyes (or just focus inward if i can't close my eyes) and think back to why I started working out in the first place. Being reminded of my goals always helps me out during tough days.
