Motivating Quotes

I am really into quotes. Sometime the right one can pump me up. I though it would be fun to share a couple of my favorites.

“There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.”
-Beverly Sills

and one I saw today of fb (posted on Michael Jordan's birthday)

“Limits, like fears, are often just an illusion.” - Michael Jordan

"nothing tastes as good as skinny feels" -Kate Moss

I live by this one. Every time I think about cheating I remember what it was like to be 210lbs and 23% bodyfat.

"Progress has little to do with speed but much to do with direction." (Unknown)

"The chief cause of failure and unhappiness is trading what you want most for what you want now."
- Zig Ziglar

“It is better to take many small steps in the right direction than to make a great leap forward only to stumble backward.” ~Old Chinese Proverb

“Most people fail, not because of lack of desire, but, because of lack of commitment.” ~Vince Lombardi

“Those who think they have not time for bodily exercise will sooner or later have to find time for illness.” ~Edward Stanley

"Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently." - Henry Ford

Funny- I've always hated this quote. Then again, I stay away from anything that focuses on "thin" or "skinny." You don't diet yourself healthy!

Yes you do. If I were morbidly obese, ran 5 miles a day, and ate 4000 calories of crap I would be much less healthy than if I ate 2000 calories of whole unprocessed foods and did free weights three times a week for 30 minutes.

I agree you don't diet your self healthy it's a lifestyle that makes you healthy.

I think Nat just means that the goal shouldn't be "skinny" - it should be "healthy" or "fit"... There are plenty of skinny people in the world that are not healthy just because they have a high metabolism or 'good' genes. Skinny shouldn't be the main focus.. so maybe the quote should say "Nothing tastes as good as fitness feels"... but it just doesn't have the same ring to it..

"Shut Up and Sweat!"

"Stop Working out and start working toward something"

"There is no cheating, only choices...no excuses"

"Strive for Progress not Perfection"

"You can feel Sore tomorrow or you can feel Sorry tomorrow...you choose"

"Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently." - Henry Ford
- Natalie

I love this one!!


OK Here's Mine:

David Viscott:
You must begin to think of yourself as becoming the person you want to be.

Mates are like Ships...Pickin one out just fer their long thin lines my find yer-self wallowing in the bottom of troughs more then riding happy the crests of life's waves.

"If you are tired of starting over, then don't stop!"

Love this one, Mamma Cracker!

“All diseases begin in the Gut”.
-Hippocrates

"The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest her or his patients in the care of the human frame, in a proper diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease."
-Thomas A. Edison

"Pain is the feeling of weakness leaving your body."
-Unknown Drill Sergeant

I'm quite sure Dr. King didn't mean weight loss, however, I choose to think of his words with that in mind. See sig.

Just a few more. I'm a quote junkie!

"Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence."
Vince Lombardi

"The harder you work, the harder it is to surrender."
Vince Lombardi

"The only place success comes before work is in the dictionary."
Vince Lombardi

"Failure is not fatal, but failure to change might be."

No good deed goes unpunished.

Not weight loss related, but I LOVE this one:

"Only two things are infinite: The Universe and human stupidity. And I'm not sure about the universe."
- Albert Einstein.

...and learning that Kate Moss is the owner of the "nothing tastes..." quote, I felt compelled to take it off my signature. I can't stand her.

"I choose to be on the positive side because negativity sucks the color from my world - and I like my rainbows." Me
