You won't fail if you're not perfect, you'll fail if you're not committed to improving yourself slightly each day.
Rather than aiming for being perfect, just aim to be little bit better today than you were yesterday.
If you want what you do not have, you must do what you have not done.
Nothing tastes as good as being thin feels.
IT'S NOT ABOUT HOW GOOD YOU ARE BUT HOW BAD YOU WANT IT!!
Quitting is NOT an option.
I can do this...I know I can. It's just going to take time & patience.
My world is expanding as my butt is shrinking!
"Don't sacrifice your future for a momentary pleasure"
"Never give up on a dream just because of the length of time it will take to accomplish it. The time will pass anyway."
"Never trade what you want the most for what you want at the moment"
Great changes may not happen right away, but with effort even the
difficult may become easy.
- Bill Blackma

Winners vs Losers
Someone will always be prettier. They will always be smarter. Their house will be bigger. They will drive a better car. Their children will do better in school. And their husband will fix more things around the house. So let it go, and love you and your circumstances. Think about it. The prettiest woman in the world can have hell in her heart. And the most highly favored Woman on your job may be unable to have children. And the richest woman you know, she's got the car, the house, the clothes....might be lonely. And the word says if "I have not Love, I am nothing." So, again, love you. Love who you are. Look in the mirror in the morning and smile and say "I am too blessed to be stressed and too anointed to be disappointed!" "Winners make things happen. Losers let things happen." "To the world you might be one person, but to one person you just might be the world".
Afternoon boost
"If you've invested enough effort and energy to get discouraged, you're well on your way to success. Discouragement is a certain weigh station on the road to any worthwhile achievement. If you know and care enough to be discouraged, you've made considerable progress. Learn what the discouragement has to teach you and then continue moving forward. It may seem as though you'll never make it, but in reality you're already there. Discouragement tempers and hardens you; it does not stop you. Reflect on your discouragement and you'll discover that it is a result of your commitment. You've already invested your time, your effort, your life. Soon, you'll reap the full reward of that investment. Let discouragement spur you on. Motivation is born of desire. The stronger the desire for something, the stronger the motivation. Endeaver to keep the promises we make to ourselves... We deserve to be treated with the same love and respect that we would give to others....." (By CW on bootcamp buddies)

2 1/2 pounds country style pork ribs
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons salt
1 cup barbeque sauce
I am going to have to try this one!
DIRECTIONS
1. Place ribs in a large pot with enough water to cover. Season with garlic powder, black pepper and salt. Bring water to a boil, and cook ribs until tender.
2. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
3. Remove ribs from pot, and place them in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Pour barbeque sauce over ribs. Cover dish with aluminum foil, and bake in the preheated oven for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until internal temperature of pork has reached 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

And the race is on...midday motivation...
"Great achievement is usually born of great sacrifice, and is never the result of selfishness" - Napoleon Hill
You don't drown by falling in the water. You drown by staying there.
You don't realize how strong a person really is until you see them at their weakest moment.
Success is not a race, be patient.
Some people dream about success... while others wake up and work hard at it.
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.
Make the decision, then do something - no matter how small - toward accomplishing what you want.
One definition of insanity is: Doing the same thing again and again and expecting a different result.
We fail because we don't strike the iron while it's hot. We don't take immediate action toward achieving what we want. We decide to wait until tomorrow, or next week, or even next month.
It comes down to a simple question: what do you want out of life, and what are you willing to do to get it?
Be specific in what you want, and use specific words. Empower yourself, and become the person you dream about
Listen closely: the only time it's too late to change yourself is when you're dead. Until then, you're simply making excuses or lying to yourself.
If you didn't need a pill to get fat, why would you need one to get unfat?

You've got to say, I think that if I keep working at this and want it badly enough I can have it. It's called perseverance.

The difference between try and triumph is just a little umph!

The good Lord gave you a body that can stand most anything. It's your mind you have to convince.
