Runner World Quote of The Day

	I run because I enjoy it—not always, but most of the time. I run because I've always run—not trained, but run. Amby Burfoot, Runner's World Editor At Large and marathoner

You're Worth It!

Change can be painful and often involves some struggling, but remember, it's so worth it. Every time you push yourself physically, you'll grow even stronger and more confident in your abilities. No, my workouts are not easy, but you might as well face it now: I'm never going to let them be easy. I'm always going to be pushing you to the next level, whatever it might be. And you know what? You're only going to be stronger, healthier, and happier for it. Check out what one of my teammates recently said about her journey when another member was worried about being stuck in a rut:

Keep with the program and try to stay on this site as it's more than a "diet" and "exercise" program. I gained so much knowledge reading everyone's post, it brings everything home to me. We KNOW what we should do and we have the tools...we cannot paint a masterpiece if we do not pick up that paint brush. Like the others have said, log your meals because once we get comfortable and confident in what we are doing, the weight seems to stay on or, even worse, add on! Stay true to yourself because we are worth it — we are worth the calorie counting, the "I do not want to go to the gym" workouts, the "I am going to skip dessert tonight," and we are worth being healthy and confident and loved and strong. So please keep moving and working towards your goals!
