Zitat des Tages von Jillian Michaels:
Look several months ahead, see where the obstacles lie, and figure out ways to overcome them.
Life has a way of working out the way it's meant to.
I had a second-degree-blue-belt test, and I broke two boards with my right foot, and the next day I walked into school, and no one ever picked on me again. I suddenly believed in myself and respected myself. I had some inkling of my power, so the bullying stopped instantly.
I had my nose done when I was 16 years old, and I'll be honest: it did change my life.
When you eat a piece of white bread, think of it as putting a tissue on a fire. But if you eat something that has wholegrains, whether it's a little bit of oatmeal, a little bit of protein, it's like putting a log on the fire.
There are millions of people who do want help. I'm not going to waste my time convincing people who aren't receptive.
Stop turning to fad diets and use common sense.
You've got to listen to the universe, to life, to God, whatever you want to call it. Because its going to speak to you.
It's like, 'Oh, well of course you want gay marriage, you're gay.' I think when heterosexual people are talking to their peers and they're like, 'This is an equal rights thing,' it's a little bit easier.
Life? You can't manipulate it or bend it to your will. You have no choice but to roll with it.
The adoption process was not an easy one. The paperwork took nine months. It's a full-time thing!
Think of it this way: If you got a flat tire, what would you do? Change the tire? Or get out of the car and slash the other three tires? No! Get back on the road. Don't dwell on it; don't beat yourself up. That gets you nowhere.
There is really no room in any healthy diet for trans fat, artificial sweeteners, and artificial colors in food.
Obesity in children is growing out of control. A big part of this is economic. Fake foods are more affordable. It's enticing people to eat more because they think they're saving money when they're really just buying heart disease.
I felt the calling to adopt. You just know in the deepest part of your being that you are meant to find this little soul and guide them through life.
We all have to work for happiness. And you cannot listen to other people. That is the worst mistake you can make.
I train in different modalities so that each muscle is targeted twice a week, with two days of rest in between.
Not to say you should let your physicality define you, but there are some things that can make people feel really insecure. So, if there is something you want to fix that allows you to feel a little bit more confident, I support it.
It seems at times fate knocks on people's door, and they are too afraid to pursue it.
Seeing my two kids together is a magical feeling.
I like to train the body from as many different angles as possible to use every modality available to do it.
I'm not sympathetic. I have zero sympathy. I understand about emotional eating, I understand how painful the process can be, but I also understand that change is possible.
I change the workout every month, so you never adapt and never plateau.
I'm unbelievably superstitious.
Lazy doesn't exist. Lazy is a symptom of something else. The person who can't get up off their butt is just a person who's depressed. It's usually a pervasive lack of self-worth, or a feeling of helplessness.
I could open up a little gym, and I would be blissfully happy.
Make 80 percent of the food you eat healthy, then take 20 percent of your daily calories and make them fun.
If I was ashamed of who I am, I would be in the closet.
I used to tell moms that for the sake of their well-being they had to put themselves first. But I know now that's not always possible.
We can't sit around waiting for big government, big business, big religion etc. to save us. We need to get informed and take inspired action.
I've always believed fitness is an entry point to help you build that happier, healthier life. When your health is strong, you're capable of taking risks. You'll feel more confident to ask for the promotion. You'll have more energy to be a better mom. You'll feel more deserving of love.
People will accomplish anything if they believe the goal is worth it - they are worth it and that they are capable of achieving it - and that's exactly what my 'Maximize Your Life' show will do.
Gay is not a choice.
I think that anything in life is about the middle ground.
The gay thing has always been hard for me.
I was a gay kid who didn't know I was a gay kid, which was really challenging because you think there is something wrong with you until you understand what it is.
