Today’s Tip: Don’t You Quit
Here is a quote that I have had hanging on my wall for years. If you happen to know where this quote originated from, please let me know. I don’t know who the actual author is and would like to give them credit.
DON’T YOU QUIT!
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will.
When the road you’re trudging seems all up hill.
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but have to sigh.
When care is pressing you down a bit.
Rest, if you must…but Don’t You Quit!
Life is queer with its twists and turns.
As every one of us some time learns.
And many a failure turns about
When he might have won, had he stuck it out.
Don’t give up, though the pace seems slow
You may succeed with another blow!
Success is failure turned inside out.
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt.
And you never can tell how close you are
It may be near when it seems so far.
So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit
It’s when things seem their worst that
YOU MUST NOT QUIT!

This quote always seems to pull me through when I feel I’m in a tough spot. This past week has been hard and I’m trying to pull myself out of the funk. I have not worked out for over a week, I’m eating everything in sight and I was quite excited to head back to the gym tomorrow for spin class, taking it easy of course when yesterday my knee started hurting badly again. I’m being tested that is for sure but hoping for the best today.
Do you have a favorite quote that you would like to share?

There are dreamers and there are planners: the planners make their dreams come true. (unknown) This statement can helps us through all aspects of our life. It’s the following through on our plans that sometimes becomes difficult. I struggle with my weight loss. Eating when stressed is my biggest downfall.

Miz: Thanks for sharing. I’m ROFL @ the Barbie comment LOL
Chris: Great statement. And you are not alone with the struggles. Keep working at it and it will happen. I tend to eat more when I’m bored and not active but I used to eat a ton when I got stressed. Finally got to the point where I would stop for a minute before I grabbed something to eat and then made a conscious decision to do something else like exercise or take a quick walk to take my mind off the food I was craving.
Thank you all for stopping by, I appreciate your feedback.
