A Thousand Mile Journey Begins With A Single Step

Hi everyone, I'm back! I have not posted anything on here for months, I've been so busy with life's ups and downs that I was forced to put MotiveWeight Blogspot on the back burner for a while. But I am now back in full force, feeling great and raring to go.  I look forward to posting something on here regularly and continuing my journey to healthy weight loss and fitness with you all again. xxx Linda.

Fight For What You Want

If you don’t fight for what you want, don’t cry for what you lost.

Every New Day Is A Chance To Change

Every new day is a blank page in the book of your life; you have the power today to write something worth reading.

It's Possible

Expand Your Comfort Zone

 We avoid exercise because it’s not comfortable, but if we expand our comfort zone a little at a time, we can make exercise something we’re comfortable with, after a little repetition. -Zen Habits

Always Do Your Best

Take It One Step At A Time

Change Takes Time

To Change Your Destination Change Your Direction

If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading.

Lao Tzu 

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. -Lao Tzu

There is always time to change the road you're on...

You Don't Have To Do It Perfectly

Even though you think you'll do really badly in your next workout, do it anyway. An imperfect workout is always better than no workout.

Be Willing To Experience Temporary Discomfort

Be willing to experience a little pain and discomfort on your weight loss and fitness journey...you cannot achieve success without it...no pain, no gain.

Do Something Differently

If you always do what you've always done, you will get what you've always got.

Make Time To Create The Life You Want

If you don't MAKE TIME to work on creating the life you want you’re eventually going to be forced to spend a lot of time dealing with a life you don't want. -Kevin Ngo

The time will pass anyway...either you spend it creating the life you want or spend it living the life you don't want...the choice is yours.

If It Doesn't Challenge You It Doesn't Change You

Man cannot remake himself without suffering for he is both the marble and the sculptor. -Alexis Carrel

I love this quote because it so aptly explains the struggle we face to 'remake' ourselves into the fitter version of ourselves.

Be Patient and Keep Going

Keep going when the going is hard and slow...that's patience!

Get Comfortable With Being Uncomfortable

Life begins at the end of your comfort zone. So if you’re feeling uncomfortable right now, know that the change taking place in your life is a beginning, not an ending… -Neale Donald Walsch

Comfort zones are most often expanded through discomfort. - Peter McWilliams

To see a CHANGE make a CHANGE

Always look for ways to change what you're currently doing if it's sabotaging your weight loss efforts, or look for ways to continue doing the good things you're doing if you know they're helping maintain your weight loss and fitness levels. Just because you don't know how to do something today doesn't mean you'll never know how to do it...just keep looking for new ways to motivate yourself, new ways to move more, new ways to eat better and gradually your search will be rewarded.

Your Present Situation Is Not Your Final Destination

You might not be where you want to be, but you are not where you used to be. You're OK...you're on your way.

The difference between winning and losing is most often...Not Quitting -Walt Disney

This is the key...don't quit, work very hard and you'll achieve your goal.
