Most people know that when I spend ‘quality’ time with the elliptical each day, that I do it while watching episodes of The Biggest Loser. It’s a source of inspiration for me, and it pushes me when I start feeling like ‘I can’t’ , because I know that indeed, “I can“!
The only time that I watch the show is when I’m working out, and because I love the show so much, it stimulates me to work out.
Today, I heard trainer Jillian Michaels say something that resonated within me. It brought tears to my eyes, and when my work out was finished, those words were still with me.
I am a HUGE fan of quotations, and this is one for the quotation book where I list all of my favorites. It’s a little blue moleskin book, and I love it. I also have a brown one, but I haven’t found a use for it yet. I will though.
I am in the process of adding positive words and quotes to a board here on my computer desk, and I’ll be printing these and adding them first. They are words I never want to forget, but because I’m human, will need to be reminded of from time to time.
I hope they they serve to inspire and drive you, the same way they have me. Thank you Jillian!
You can tell me that you choose not to;
You can tell me that you choose to quit;
That you choose to be less than what you are, and less than what God intended you to be;
But don’t ever tell me that you can’t do it.
– Jillian Michaels
