A little inspiration

I was wandering the internet a while back, and stumbled on some really great inspirational quotes that have helped me along my weight loss journey. I wanted to share a couple with you today.

Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.
Thomas A Eddison


**********

Your body is the baggage you must carry through life. The more excess the baggage, the shorter the trip.
Arnold H. Glasgow

**********

"The greatest thing you have is the 24 hours in front
of you.
The past is gone; the future is distant.
Today you CAN succeed.
Set a goal you can achieve in the next 24 hours."

**********

I wake up every day with the realization that this is it, that there's only one shot at this life and I can either enjoy the ride and live it to its fullest and to my highest potential or I can stay the way I am.

**********

I hope these help some of you like they have me along the way.

  1. Oh I like these quotes - especially the one about setting a goal to achieve in the next 24 hours! Mine is... fill a 2 litre bottle with water and drink it (I am not good at drinking water 'cos I forget but if the bottle is there in front me, I'll remember). Off to do that now!

  4. so inspiring! Thanks for sharing.

    Im with you Nerrida, I am not good with drinking water. I always feel I'm drowning when I drink as much as 8 glasses of water. That will be my goal too.

    Now off to check the scale. Wish me luck!
