Mondaymotivation

Alhoewel deze maandag bijna voorbij is, schaar ik onderstaande quotes van 15 powervrouwen toch nog onder #mondaymotivation.

Wie mij al ff volgt weet dat ik een sucker ben voor quotes; ik hou van mooie woorden en heel soms kunnen ze je net dat kleine beetje extra motivatie geven om toch de deur uit te gaan. Voor cardio. In het park. Ook al regent het. Dus.
