Happppy Friday!
Since I love to workout and almost always feel great post-exercise, that must mean that I’m always excited to get my workout on. Right? Well not quite. Just like virtually everyone else, I have my days when I’m just not in the mood for the exercise session I had planned.
This was the case yesterday, when I had finished work for the day, and it was time to fit in a workout before I had a Skype catch-up date with a girlfriend of mine who lives 1,000 miles away. I had been sitting at my desk working for awhile and was just sort of feeling tired, but I knew that there was no real good reason why I shouldn’t workout, so instead, I spent a few minutes getting myself motivated with some exercise quotes. Here are my top 10 motivational fitness quotes on this lovely Friday!

After reading these quotes, I got my butt out of my office and had a sweaty hour-long workout… and I certainly did not regret it!
Afterwards, I refueled with what I’m calling a Healthy Thin Mint Shake, in honor of Girl Scout cookie season:
It’s similar to this smoothie recipe, only with the addition of some chocolate mint Arctic Zero, which made it creamier and more shake-like. It was so yummy, I think I just might make it again today!
Wishing you a weekend filled with fitness, healthy & delicious food and lots of laughter! 🙂
I think “You Can” is a really powerful quote. So simple, but very effective.
Yes, I love that one too! It’s more like a mantra that’s applicable to any goal really.
Love those quotes! Good for you getting your workout on! I want that thin mint recipe!! Sounds good!
You can find the exact recipe up on my IG captioning the smoothie picture post 🙂
It’s amazing what a good quote can do for your mindset. Nice work knocking out your workout! And I’m sure that Thin Mint Shake made it all worth it. 🙂
Yea, I’ve made that smoothie several times since too! 😉
I always love motivational quotes like these!!! Way to use them to get your workout done:)
Agreed, I love me some motivational quotes to psych me up!
That chocolatey goodness looks so delicious and well deserved after an hour-long workout! I love when I ignore my laziness and end up having an amazing workout – it’s one of the most satisfying feelings!
Totally agreed! Even if the workout winds up just being mediocre, I always feel good in knowing that it was better than not working out at all.
I love this!! And #4 is so true!! Hahaha… I’m like you! I love the benefits of a good workout… but sometimes I’m not motivated enough to get started!! Haha, great quotes!!
Me too, I hate when people make a habit out of making excuses! 😉
Mmmm A THIN MINT smoothie!!!! 🙂 I must try and make one of those 😉
It’s SO YUMMY – one of my current favorite smoothies!
Love the Girl Scout cookie-themed smoothie!!
Thanks, Cassie! It has quickly become my go-to smoothie.
