Don't ever discourage someone from trying to better their life and health

The journey isn't always perfect, but always worth taking.

After we put my son to bed, my husband and I curl up and watch a movie or TV. That's when I finally put up my feet and have my glass of wine and a brownie.

Never underestimate the power that one good workout can have on your mind. Keeping the dream alive is half the battle.

Progress is rarely a straight line. There are always bumps in the road, but you can make the choice to keep looking ahead.

Erase from your mind that your preparation must be perfect. Hard work + dedication = a shot at your dreams. Keep believing.

Set small goals along the way and don't be overwhelmed by the process.
