Hey 'Bachelor,' take notes! Trusting one another and sharing a journey to health leads to lasting relationships!
I have encouraged my kids to eat well from day one. I add flavor - herbs and spices - to everything because I don't want them getting used to starchy, bland food.
I save every Christmas card. I keep them all.
I like Burt's Bees Tinted Lip Balm because I don't need a mirror to reapply. But I definitely treat myself with face lotion - I use La Mer.
I battled with my weight as a teenager, partly because there wasn't the information or conversation about how to live a healthy lifestyle.
I cook at home all the time and really enjoy it. It's fun family time and we all chip in and help out. We do a lot with our outdoor grill, a lot of chicken or shrimp, and every meal includes veggies.
I save my dreams and hopes for my kids. When I'm making a wish under a bridge or tunnel, it's always for them.
I wasn't eating the right kinds of calories. I didn't know about healthy carbs such as brown rice and lentils. Now I eat small meals throughout the day: oatmeal with cinnamon to start, fruit and yogurt as a snack, and vegetables or with chicken or tuna, and a healthy carb, like a yam, for lunch.
People think, 'Oh, I'm loving myself by sitting on this sofa for four hours.' Love yourself enough to get up!
I love almonds as a snack, and in the morning, yogurt is a fantastic go-to. Sometimes I mix them together.
I'm addicted to a really tough workout. I like to be drenched in sweat when I'm done because I feel accomplished.
What's wrong with extreme dieting and hard-core fitness plans is that they don't take into account the rest of your life.
I'm a working mom, not a professional athlete, but I am a runner and that's a special club.
We have stay-in date nights where we make a plan to watch certain TV shows together. 'Survivor,' for example, is our favorite show. And I make a healthy dinner and we sit down and it's our date. I love it.
