People think, 'Oh, I'm loving myself by sitting on this sofa for four hours.' Love yourself enough to get up!

I save every Christmas card. I keep them all.

I'm addicted to a really tough workout. I like to be drenched in sweat when I'm done because I feel accomplished.

I recommend that people try new stuff or take new fitness classes all the time. It's important to mix up your routine, not only for your body, but also for your mental state.

The number one mistake is giving pets table scraps. I made the mistake thinking I was showing my dog love by giving her food and treats. You see a tiny 4 oz. piece of cheese, but for a Boston Terrier like mine, that's like one and a half hamburgers. That's unhealthy.

My DVR says that I watch a lot of TV my husband likes.

The mental game of 'holding out,' not eating for as long as possible, at least for me, was a really unhealthy mental place. I would inevitably lose that battle and eat too much in one sitting and end up really mad at myself.
