Valerie Bertinelli Quotes

Good habits are worth being fanatical about.

People often say that motivation doesn't last. Well, neither does bathing - that's why we recommend it daily.

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.'

Don't use all-or-nothing thinking. Take each day as its own day, and don't worry about it if you mess up one day. The most important thing you can do is just get back up on the horse.

I always say fitness is the first step to greatness. And I try to encourage my fans to be on the same page as that. Because fitness is the first step to setting a habit that you necessarily don't want to do but are still committed to doing every single day. And so I think that's why I always, always try to get a workout in.

I listen to my body and if I need to rest then I rest, but at the same time I'm not lazy.

Figure out what you want, how you want to feel, whatever your motivation is, you have to figure it out. That's step one: where do you want to be? The next thing is just trying to get there and cutting yourself some slack along the way. You're going to have days when you veer off your path, then just get right back on. We all have cheat days, holidays, or celebrations, whatever or period when we can't work out as much as we like, and just do the best you can and when you can get back on track, get back on track.

So I'm still doing my best to stay in shape and hope that opportunity will come back to me.

I've spent most of my life doing some sort of exercise, but I've learned to never push myself into doing it. I know that when I am up for it I will, and when I'm not in the mood to, I don't make myself feel badly over it.

You can't please everybody all the time, but I think for the most part we tend to maintain a healthy level of self-reference to kind of make sure we continue to push things forward.

I've never been good with structure - doing assignments for the sake of them or doing things I'm supposed to do.

People think, 'Oh, I'm loving myself by sitting on this sofa for four hours.' Love yourself enough to get up!

I value self-discipline, but creating systems that make it next to impossible to misbehave is more reliable than self-control.

The secret of your success is determined by your daily agenda.

Of course, I will keep myself fit, keep my boots clean and you never know.

I respect my limitations, but I don't use them as an excuse.

Always Do Your Best. Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse and regret.

I have learnt to be even more patient.

Apparently, despite my awareness of its pejorative connotation, procrastinating is something I fall victim to quite frequently. I'm not proud of it; I'm just being honest.

Once a year I will clean my room, just because I feel I should.

I seem to get motivated a few months at a time, and then something stressful breaks the routine, and I just fold.

There is no such thing as balance in life, you just do the best you can, when you can with that you've got.

I think I just need to be consistent in everything that I do.

It's really hard to be consistent, and you have to know your body and know yourself.

When I work out, I make healthier choices in all areas of life, and when I don't, I tend to slack on other things, too, so I like to keep a good routine going.
