Finding Calm with...Judy Reyes
- Figure out what works for you
"I've never loved spending time on the machines at the gym. But I have discovered an exercise regimen I can dedicate myself to: yoga. It's changed my body. Before, I could only do 'girl' push-ups. But poses like downward dog and the plank have strengthened my arms. I've finally mastered regular push-ups!" - Reassess your goals
"For years I exercised to be thinner, and I never got the results I wanted. When I finally started working out to be healthier, I saw a transformation. I've even quit weighing myself so I don't obsess over the numbers. Now I determine my weight by how my clothes feel. In the last two years, I've dropped a size-probably about 10 pounds." - Allow for splurges
"Like everyone, there are times when I just don't feel like exercising. When that happens, I'm a bit more careful with my diet. But on days I really want a treat, like chocolate, I work out a little harder. I don't believe in beating myself up for not being 'good.' "
