legs too-much way
Comedy, not screaming at someone, can make someone lift their legs higher. There is a way to do a push-up and a sit-up, and it doesn't have to be so complicated. Everyone is putting a difficult twist to it and making you do way too much.
cake fudge way
I could be hit by a Sara Lee truck tomorrow. Which is not a bad way of going: 'Richard Simmons Found in a Freeway in Pound Cake and Fudge, With a Smile on His Face.' Let's face it. We don't know anything.
workout body way
Most workouts are way too aggressive. Thousands of lunges wear out the body.
kids eating-disorder way
I suffered from eating disorders when I was just a kid. I did not like me or the way I looked. But back then, you could not tell anyone.
accept board clearly directors duties recognize superior trust
We trust the Lukens board of directors will recognize its fiduciary duties and accept our clearly superior offer.
calls happened people phone
I start phone calls at 4 A.M. to cheer people up. The housebound, people in the hospital. People who, after decades, still can't get over what happened 10 or 15 years ago.
beaten became time
In high school, I could get beaten up all the time, or I could be something better. I became the court jester.
people
I'm not into any show that makes people compete when they lose weight.
gained god instill motivator others weight
I used to think that if someone gained their weight back, it was my fault, but all I can do is be God's motivator and try to instill the motivation in others so they do it themselves.
There are sacrifices you have to make. I don't have a lot to offer one person. I have a lot to offer to a lot of people.
crazy funny laughing silly talking
I show them the funny part, the silly part, the laughing part, the crazy part and then the really deep, deep part where I'm talking from my heart to these people. Because I've been through everything they've been through.
america freedom
You have to make your own decisions. That's what the freedom in America is all about.
magical
It's the most magical place in the world.
believe negativity people tired
Never, never! ... I get tired of negativity in our country. I get tired of people who only want to know dirt. I get tired of people who don't believe in themselves. That's why I'm here.
