I completely just stole this from the Phit N Phit Member page but I know that people will understand and for those who aren't Phit N Phat, I think its a great staying.

"Champions aren't made in gyms. Champions are made from smething they have deep inside them: A desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have last-minute stamina, they have to be a little faster, they have to have the skill and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill."

I think this can really sum up this journey that I'm on. I can go to the gym, go through the motions but that will not, in and of itself, do it. I have to have desire to change my eating habits and be healthier, a dream pushing my body past anything that I may have thought possible and a vision of how to put all these new found skills into practice.

I think the last sentence of this quote is the most important part. We can all learn these skills. In fact, most of us know them and we have been doing them or trying to do them for years or off and on for years. However, the skills mean nothing if we do not have the will, determination and strength of character to put them into place and follow them.

Becca,
This is Kathleen and you "stole" the quote from my page but I certainly don't mind. I look at this that we are all in the same journey together. Hope it inspires you or someone else.
