Eat Less, Move More is My New Mantra
"People often say that motivation doesn't last. Well, neither does bathing--that's why we recommend it daily." -- Zig Ziglar, motivational speaker
"Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it." --Goethe
I turned 40 in September 2009. I wanted 2010 to be the year I got healthy. I did really well for the first half of the year and lost just over 20 pounds.

I turned 40 in September 2009. I wanted 2010 to be the year I got healthy. I did really well for the first half of the year and lost just over 20 pounds.
Unfortunately, I have gained it all back and a few extra pounds. I let excuses, a chronic illness, and negativity get in the way of staying on track. I let being tired rule my days. I realize now that if I let fatigue rule me, I will only end up tired, dead and really large! And, I really hate muu-muus! I might as well choose to be tired, healthier and happier!
I am used the forty+ days of Lent to get back on track. I am tracked my food and making healthy choices. By the end of Lent, I was averaging closer to 50 mins a day. I extended that streak to 105 days of fitness in a row!
I am a stay at home mom with 2 boys (12 & 9). I want to get healthy and stay healthy to be a better mom, wife and a better me!
I have found a love of motivating quotes. Here are my favorites:
"Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishments."--Jim Roh
"You are successful the moment you start moving toward a worthwhile goal." --Charles Carlson
"There's a difference between interest and commitment. When you're interested in doing someting, you do it only when it's convenient. When you're committed to something, you accept no excuses; only results." ---Kenneth Blanchard
"Plant seeds of expectation in your mind; cultivate thoughts that anticipate achievement. Believe in yourself as being capable of overcoming all obstacles and weaknesses" --Norman Vincent Peale
"Consult not your fears, but your hopes and your dreams. Think not about your frustrations, but about your unfulfilled potential. Concern yourself not with what you tried and failed in, but with what it is still possible for you to do." Pope John XXIII
