I try to put daily motivational quotes on my blog...the one that I'm going to use today is one from Walt Disney that I really like....I think I like it because it seems so simple...

and start doing. ”

So I didn't know where else to put this but motivation seems about right.

I'M CALLING YOU OUT, SP St.L!

The weather is freaking beautiful!
It's cool outside for the first time in ages!
Get out there and do something about it! Go walk! Go run! Go play! Get some exercise AND some vitamn D!
I'm challenging you (and myself) to do something (or more?) amazing outside this weekend!

Go forth and kick some butt!

Here's to making a difference! Have a great day!

"I think the purpose of life is to be useful, to be responsible, to be honorable, to be compassionate. It is, after all, to matter: to count, to stand for something, to have made some difference that you lived at all." – Leo Rosten

Hi JAMIEA8 ~ love your mantra! That made me laugh! Guess what I have hanging on my bedroom door so I have to see it every day? A new swimsuit in a size smaller than I wear now ~ just waiting for me! I'm going to FL the end of August and I know I'll be able to wear it by then! So I'm adopting your mantra: "SWIMMING SUIT...SWIMMING SUIT...SWIMMING SUIT"! Who needs some fancy quote, right? LOL

I love all of your quotes!!! Those are really great! I don't have anything super awesome like those to add.... however, my mantra that keeps me going is "swimming suit...swimming suit...swimming suit"... LOL... not nearly as exciting or prolific as those already quoted!

Keep steadily before you the fact that all true success depends at last upon yourself.”

Theodore T. Hunger



No one else can help me lose this weight JUST ME.

I am with you Susie, I exercise hard with the best of them. I ran a 5K at my weight and age for the first time last week. BUT EATING when i am bored, tired, stressed... I have no will power. :( Daily struggle for me. I am good all day.. it's dinner on that's the issue.

It amazes me how we sparkers don't give up! I've got the exercise thing down, but boy do I struggle to keep consistency in my healthy eating habits. Oh, that's right, they haven't become habits yet. I'm still working toward that. So, here I go, once again, starting a new day of trying to make healthy eating choices. I posted this quote as my status today, but I like it so much I'm posting it here too. (borrowed from a blog I read today by MRS-KLINE)

Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending"- Carl Bard

It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed.
Theodore Roosevelt

I love this one, we sometimes are afraid to try something new because we might fail. I was scared to death to try Zumba -- but I went and now I go 3-4 classes a week! I love it! This quote really speaks to me.

Here is a quote from my Sparkpeople desk calendar from Tuesday June 21...

"When we are motivated by goals that have deep meaning, by dreams that need completion, by pure love that needs expressing, then we truly live life."- Greg Anderson

I really love this quote!

I thought I would start a thread where sparkers can come to get daily motivation! You can post whatever you like here. For example...if you need motivation or that push to get your workout in, share something that keeps you motivated, share a quote that is inspirational or share anything you want! We can do it here! This is our safe place to come if we are struggling or if we have successes!
