My personal pep talk that I give myself as I walk to the gym....I thought of by the way. but works for me:

Working out is no longer an option. Either do it, and eat right or die. It's 30 frickin minutes to an hour, depending on where you're at. That's it. You can spare that. And no one has probably ever died walking on a treadmill. Just do it.

And off I go to the gym.

This is a good one and a very important question to ask oneself. I think brutal honesty is essential in this journey. Asking yourself the tough questions.

I was hoping ppl wouldn't think it was to harsh. It is one that makes you stop and think though....and most likely go " huh "
