teacher
I just love what I do, and I'm a teacher more than anything.
oxygen mask ifs
If your oxygen mask drops down, it's time to take a breather!
workout body way
Most workouts are way too aggressive. Thousands of lunges wear out the body.
legs too-much way
Comedy, not screaming at someone, can make someone lift their legs higher. There is a way to do a push-up and a sit-up, and it doesn't have to be so complicated. Everyone is putting a difficult twist to it and making you do way too much.
people yeah overweight
Yeah, but I do call them back and follow up. Most people talk at overweight people, I talk with them.
passion class fans
I'm such a huge fan, and I've done classes of all Lady Gaga music. And she's just someone who evokes freedom and love for her fans and passion in what she does. Lady Gaga, I'll take you out for a salad anytime.
workout work-out pounds
When I go to teach, that's not my workout. It's my show. I'm 134 pounds - I'm a teeny thing. I work out 11/2 hours a day and eat 1,600 calories. I can't stray because I have to fit into these Dolfin shorts!
teacher strong night
When I go to bed at night, I ask God to give me another day; I ask him to keep me strong and make me a good teacher and to keep spreading this right word.
differences oatmeal brain
Truthfully, everyone knows how to eat right. They know the difference between oatmeal and a jelly cream doughnut. They know how to walk. Everyone has this in their brain. When I started, we didn't have all this knowledge.
people like-family causes
People treat me like family, 'cause I've always treated them like family.
love-yourself moving body
I've always practiced this: Love yourself. Move your body. Watch your portions.
blessing world kind
Count your blessings. You are one of a kind. There's no one in the world like you. You are amazing.
dog islands ice-cream
Puberty for me was graduating from Thousand Island salad dressing to Caesar salads. It was like going from hot dogs and hamburgers to beef stroganoff, or from ice cream in a cone to creme brulee.
prayer pressure busy
Everyone's under pressure and you just have to learn how to deal with it. And I deal with it through prayer and staying busy.
