I constantly look for new places to draw inspiration from. I love looking for motivational quotes that help keep me focused and balanced. I am the dork who will hang quotes up around my at home workout space to remind myself why I am doing what I am doing. And it’s cool if you chuckle a bit. But it does work. When I start to say “I can’t finish this workout” I see the quote “Clear your mind of cant”- by Samuel Johnson and somehow I start to feel more empowered and confident.
Now before I go any further, let me say this. Lately, it’s been really hard for me to find that motivation, that extra push that keeps me going like a crazy mad machine. It’s hard to find people who are in the same lifestyle that I am – who are either looking to get fit or are getting fit and are eating in the whole foods plant based lifestyle.
And then….
I got a like on my page from a page called “Vegan Power Fitness“. Just the name in itself – is freaking awesome and gets you feeling all amped up. 🙂 But beyond the name, lies a page that just really wants to make you get up off your ass and workout.
When I see photos of some of the moves he was holding in – it makes me strive harder to hold those positions longer than 2 seconds. Just Kidding. I hold some for 2 1/2 seconds. :-P. Humor aside – it really does make me want to work that much harder.
And then my favorite – the motivational quotes.
Now before I go any further, as I write this, you should know that earlier today I planned to take the day off – no joke. It was a cold and rainy day and I just wasn’t feeling it. Till I saw this quote:
“The only bad workout is the one that never happened”.
Vegan. Power. Fitness
It was if that picture had my name written all over it. So I changed into my workout clothes and off to the gym we went. Over one quote – one powerful quote is more like it.I knew if I skipped today’s workout – I was going to want to skip more. And eventually, I’d have a million reasons why I am not at the gym.
Missing that one day is the equivalent of when you take one day off of work – you want don’t want to go back in the next day – you want more days off so you keep calling off and eventually you get canned like tuna. You need to go into work and I need to go to the gym.
If you even say “but I am a meat eater – I don’t want to like no Vegan Page” – then I shall say – skip over the Vegan word – Power Fitness should still make you want to get off your butt. (And if it still doesn’t make you want to get up — well than you’re just missing out I guess).
It’s a great page to fan – it’s fun, motivating, and real. Real as in – a real person – with a real physique – who works real hard to maintain it.
If you haven’t liked the page, you really should.
I am already thinking about tomorrow’s workout.
How’s that for some motivation.
