Mandatory Quotes…
So, I lost three pounds last week. You’d think I’d be doing awesome and all that…but I was actually shocked I’d lost anything because I’ve been slipping. *gasp* Yeah, bad I know. It hasn’t been a lot, but a little here, a little there….and I find myself sliding so effortlessly back into the bad ole ways again.
I’ve got the right mindset now, I’m VERY aware of what I’m doing now (which I wasn’t before, oddly enough) and I know what it’s doing to me….so that’s good. I’m not sitting contentedly in oblivious land anymore 
. But I find it harder to maintain diet and exercise on a consistent basis…like I was at the beginning of this all. I’ve actually lost count of what the heck week I’m on anyway…and I don’t really care because who cares when I started? This is for forever now. And I KNOW it’s always going to be a bit of a struggle for me…I’m good with that. I get that. So it’s really all about finding ways to deal with the struggle.
I read somewhere (I read WAY too much…it’s almost unhealthy…just ask my husband!! LOL!)…Anyway, I read somewhere that you should make 10-30 mins a day to read motivational, diet/exercise info to help keep you in the right mindset.
It’s so true. I know when I’m reading a book on diet or exercise it’s easier to maintain what I’m doing because it’s constantly on my mind and in focus. I find when I force myself to read motivational quotes…they stick in my head for a while and help me when I want to slack and eat bad things or not exercise.
Soo…..now I’ve instituted mandatory quote reading for myself every morning. To help me keep what I’m doing in focus and so they’re fresh in my mind when I go to sin. Every morning. Every lunch time. I have to read a quote. Not a big thing…but it helps….
All this was a long, explanatory way of asking for YOUR help… :) Do any of you have any quotes, favorite or otherwise, to share? Anything you say to yourself, you’ve read somewhere that you thought was funny or helpful?? I’ll take any thing I can get…there’s never enough!!
Thank you buddies!!!

When you discover it’s your choice and your attitude, things start to happen!
Nothing tastes as good as being healthy and full of energy feels.
P.S. WOWZA! You want some motivation? Just look at your weight graph! Nothing but down, down, down…. so cool!
Heya buddy! Gotta ditto Shan ^^^^ I think you are doing an excellent job. But I got you on the motivational quote thing. YOU are the one that got me started on that and it really helped. I’m fresh out at the moment though, I will have to get back to you on that. So glad to be back here with you! Missed you!
Ok here are two I pulled off the internet for you.
You’ve got to say I think that if I keep working at this and want it badly enough I can have it. It’s called perserverance!
The road to success is dotted with many tempting parking places.

Oh man, I used to have a really good one and now I can’t remember it. It had something to do with discipline!! Argh!! Too bad I deleted my past blogs too!! If I can remember it and find it, I will send it your way, it was great!!! I also think that I will implement the reading about health and fitness everyday! It would sure help! Hope you find the mojo you need to stay the course. And I agree with these ladies, look at your weight graph…how excellent is THAT?
Ah I remember, “the pain of discipline is nothing compared to the pain of regret.” Or something to that effect!
