a little motivation

I've found comfort through music and quotes. I know you all probably have different musical preferences, but Rascal Flatts has a song "Stand," go youtube it! Awesome motivational song!

Some of the lyrics...."On your knees you look up Decide you've had enough You get mad, you get strong Wipe your hands, shake it offThen you stand, then you stand"

My motivational song right now is 'I Won't Give Up' by Jason Mraz. More to do with a relationship, but it speaks to me and has made me cry on more than one occasion!!!

Doesn't it feel good to have all those toxins leaving your body? Just wait till tomorrow. Drink tons of water and fresh juices.

Thanks for the reminder.  Hellyeah and pantera are my two faves today.
Day 4 here and I haven't been to the gym in years without "help".  Yet here I am pedaling my angry *** off and not caring if my music is offending anybody.  Best wishes to all!

My detox song was by Celine Dion, "That's the Way it is"!  I listened to it over and over again! It got me through more than a few rough times!
