I think this is only my second or third time of doing this Jessica Smith workout but the way she says this line gets me every time:
"Getting more fit, getting in shape is the same thing--if you fall out of your habit or eat a whole bag of cookies, it happens."
The way she says "it happens" is so funny and nonjudgmental. You know, eat the whole bag...just one of those things that we might all experience from time to time....
Full quote in context:
"You know I like to think about when we were kids, when you're learning how to ride a bike, how many times did you fall off that bike before you learned to ride it? Getting more fit, getting in shape is the same thing--if you fall out of your habit or eat a whole bag of cookies, it happens.
"Get back up, get back on the bike, and pick yourself up and get right back on your path. That's how you make change. It's not all or nothing. It's small steps every day."
-Said during mile 2 of the 3-mile Flat Abs Power Walk on her Walk Off Belly Fat 5 Days a Week dvd.
Normally I'm not into much motivational speak but I enjoy Jessica's periodic forays into that realm, even the little sayings she sneaks in maybe once a workout. There's one workout where she something like "little by little, drop by drop, a little becomes a lot". And the one where at the end when you reach the cooldown she says, "just when the caterpillar thought the world was over, he becomes a butterfly" (or something like that...she admits she might not be getting the saying exactly right).
