Fad dietsdon’t work.
Lose too fast (more than 2 pounds per week) and you lose muscle along with fat.
Then if you overeat again, the weight comes back and so does the fatbut not the muscle.
What works?Slow, steady shrinking.
Having fun keeps you young.
It’s that simple.
I thinktriathlon trainingis fun, especially when I’m challenging myself.
I feel like a kid every morning before work, then I’m ready to tackle the day.
Figure out how you have the most fun, and do more of that.
No one notices your imperfections, but everyone notices your bad mood.
I may never be a great beauty, but I can always attempt to be a great person.
That’s way more attractive!
Taking care of yourself is Job One.
No one else can do it for you.
Putting yourself at the top of your to-do list isn’t selfish; it’s actually self-preservation.
Today is the starting line.
Giving backfeels like getting.
We all worry we don’t have enough time, money or commitment to get involved in a cause.
Growing means taking risks.
Being fearful is natural, but getting beyond your barriers leads to growth and reward.
Move ahead, even when it terrifies you.
You’ll behappyyou did.
We are all too hard on ourselves.
We need to cut ourselves a break.
I always have a need to do more/better/faster/sooner!
And yet I encourage other women and tell them, Good job!
If only we couldpraise ourselvesthe way we lavish compliments on others.
I know, it’s hard.
This is your moment.
There is always work to do, bills to pay,pounds to lose.
Forget all that, and live this very moment to its fullest.
The rest can wait.
Right now is the only moment that exists.
