"'You've got to shock your body to change it' and 'You're one workout away from a good mood" are two of my favorites."

"'Aging wrinkles the body, quitting wrinkles the soul' -- Douglas McArthur. One of my favorites -- really paints a picture for me!"

"(M)y mantra is: 'I HAVE TO DO THE WORK.' It is NOT going to magically be that way when I wake up, there is NO magic pill, someone else is NOT going to take my body and work out then give it back all while I am sleeping: so I have to be realistic and understand I HAVE TO DO THE WORK to get WHAT I WANT out of my body and health..."
