In our previous coverage of Michelle Williams and Busy Philipps (re)declaring their love for each other, I lamented that E! pulled the plug on Busy Tonight. Silly me, I was blanking on the fact that Busy has taken her talents where they?re appreciated, to QVC+, where she now hosts Busy This Week. (A name like ?Busy? all but begs to be a talk show host.) So naturally Busy had her bestie Michelle on, who?s still promoting Dying for Sex, the FX series that is itself a love letter to best friendships. (Sidenote: I always loved Michelle in the pixie haircut, but I gotta say she is really rocking the hot do of the season, the c-nty little bob.) In one clip from the episode, Michelle and Busy get teary as they recall meeting on the set of Dawson?s Creek. Busy had a profound moment of feeling truly seen, while Michelle had a sleeve of Fig Newtons in hand.
Busy Philipps and Michelle Williams clicked instantaneously on the Dawson?s Creek set.
In an exclusive sneak peek of Philipps? QVC+ late-night talk show, Busy This Week, the actresses recall how immediately they connected in North Carolina more than 25 years ago.
In the chat, Philipps, 45, confesses that she was nervous to join the hit series. Philipps joined during season 5 in 2001, as Joey?s (Katie Holmes) college roommate, and though she didn?t yet know Williams, they ?had heard of each other.?
?I had gotten added to the cast for the college years, and I remember being very, very nervous, and the first person I met was James [Van Der Beek],? Philipps recalls, before she notes that Williams, now 44, was crossing the street from a local market with a sleeve of Fig Newtons in hand at the time.
As the two reminisced over the specific detail of their meeting, Philipps quickly adds that she knew why she loved Williams ?immediately.?
?I?m gonna cry,? Philipps tearfully begins. ?Because I just felt like you got it. You just understood me.?
?I feel like ? oh no, I?m gonna cry ? my entire life I?ve always been like, misunderstood and prejudged by people,? she continues. ?And for whatever reason, you just instantly were like, ?I got you.??
Williams interjects to say, ?I loved you.?
?You really did,? Philipps says. ?That?s what it was,? Williams confirms.
?I really loved you, too,? Philipps adds. ?And the Fig Newtons in your hand, that was really nice.?
Philipps then confesses that they ?used to cry so much together.? Noting, ?But now you don?t let me cry as much, and you don?t cry as much. Do you want to tell them why??
?Because it?s the delicate under-eye area,? Williams cheekily replies, with Philipps adding, ?Because, you guys, under your eyes is a very delicate area and we can?t risk it.?
?I?ll tell you to stop,? Williams says before quoting herself, ??Don?t ruin the delicate under-eye area, it?s not worth it.??
[From People]
It?s fun to hear Michelle making the quip about protecting the ?delicate under-eye area,? given how she?s usually painted as the more serious one between the two. As for their retelling of that fateful meeting, People Mag didn?t excerpt the question Busy asks that starts off the whole conversation: ?Why do you think we had this instant connection when I showed up?? I bring this up because in watching the clip, I couldn?t help but notice how Busy asks the question? then pretty much answers it all herself. Michelle does very little of the talking! And I feel like the core question ? why they connected so strongly ? isn?t even really answered! Michelle just says, ?I loved you,? without any further explanation or context. Meanwhile Busy?s description of what she loved about Michelle, isn?t so much about Michelle as it is Busy, right? Don?t get me wrong, feeling seen and understood is very powerful. But I?m always fascinated when people give thanks or tributes to someone else, yet really end up talking about themselves instead. No question that the love between them is genuine and deep, but they are an odd couple! And Michelle agrees, as that?s the exact term she used to describe them in her recent Armchair Expert interview.
Another fun clip making the rounds is the pair talking about that crazy debacle at the 2017 Oscars, when La La Land was mistakenly announced Best Picture before producers stepped in to name the real winner, Moonlight. While everything was still awkward and unresolved, Busy apparently heckled Ben Affleck to ?Do Something!? Why? She thought he could fix it because he was Batman! Even funnier to me was Michelle dryly replying, ?He could not.?

Michelle Williams and Busy Philipps are an odd couple, yes? I don?t know them personally, obviously, but Michelle comes across as the quiet introvert who reads poetry, whereas Busy is the loud extrovert who reads People. Both are valid! You just kind of wonder what sparked the connection. Oh wait, I think I can start to answer my own question: they both share a tough, hustler core, from starting their respective showbiz careers as teenagers. Michelle often gets painted with a delicate persona, but she did legally emancipate herself at 15 in order to get more acting work. That takes some grit! Anyway, Busy is out promoting a new collaboration ? with California Pizza Kitchen, where she worked as a teen before being cast in Freaks and Geeks ? and she took a moment to wax poetic on the blessing of having a friend who?s been through thick and thin with her for 25 years:
?We just know each other and get each other in such a deep, fundamental way at this point,? the ?Girls5eva? star tells Page Six exclusively in a new interview.
Philipps notes that the pair have grown up together and ?been there through so many different moments in each other?s lives,? from the ?really wonderful ones? to those they thought they ?might never, ever recover from.?
She adds, ?When you have a friend like that, you?re blessed. Thats all you can really ever hope for in this life.?
Philipps, 45, and Williams, 44, met as co-stars on the sudsy ?90s and ?00s teen drama ?Dawson?s Creek? and have been BFFs ever since.
In fact, the ?Cougar Town? star is often the Oscar nominee?s plus-one at industry events.
?It makes it fun,? Williams told us at the 2022 Gotham awards.
?These things can be a little ? I don?t know if you ever really get used to being on a red carpet. It?s a little overwhelming, but then all of a sudden, I look over and see this gal, and I know whatever happens, we?re going to have a great time and laugh.?
Long before the duo were regular fixtures at Hollywood events, though, Philipps worked as a hostess at California Pizza Kitchen from the age of 15 until she landed her starring role in ?Freaks and Geeks.?
The former ?Busy Tonight? host swears she never grew tired of scarfing down the chain?s food ? not even while flying to the ?Dawson?s Creek? set in North Carolina.
?There was a CPK in the airport in Charlotte, and I would get my BBQ chicken pizza and eat it there on my layover,? she tells Page Six. ?And then I would get two of the Thai crunch salads and take them to Wilmington, and me and Michelle would eat it for lunch the next day.?
And so, Philipps freaked out when she got a call about teaming up with CPK again in honor of its 40th anniversary this year.
?The ad agency couldn?t believe that I knew the names of the CPK founders off the top of my head,? she shares with a laugh. ?I was like, ?Guys, I worked here for years!??
[From Page Six]
I gotta say, I was sorry E! gave up on Busy Tonight so fast. I think Busy is so well-suited to being an entertainment talk show host; she?s worked in the industry, knows how to laugh at herself and make others in the conversation comfortable, and she?s not afraid to dig into big topics. Also? Still knowing the founders names for CPK (or as we call the chain in my family, CaPiKi) 30 years later is crazy! As for her friendship with Michelle, they really have been through everything together. Marriages, babies, divorces, deaths, and attending Academy Awards. (Though Busy did get booted for Michelle?s recent nomination in 2023, when Michelle went with her husband instead.) For her part, Michelle should have ample opportunity to return the friend love to Busy, as she?s ramping up promotion for her new FX series, Dying For Sex, that comes out on Friday. I?m coming up on 20 years of friendship with my bestie, and yeah, there is no intimacy quite like it. Of course we?ve had plenty of fights, along with a few bouts of not speaking, but he?s still the first person I want to do things with, and he makes me laugh harder than anyone else. I?ve come to believe that finding your match in humor is really important.

| | Busy Philipps opens up about being diagnosed with ADHD at 39 | | Added 411 days ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

Busy Philipps strikes me as someone who is always hustling, which I can?t hate on. Right now, she?s starring in the third season of Girls 5Eva on Netflix. (Side note: Girls 5Eva is such a great comedy; I totally recommend it. The full series is 22 episodes, 30 minutes each.) In addition to promoting G5E, Busy is also, uh, busy talking up her new talk show, Busy This Week, which premieres on May 8 at 10:00 p.m. ET on QVC+. This weekly talk show is 30-minutes long and its premise is ?Busy on the couch to get an unscripted take on whatever has kept us busy this week. From celebrity guest interviews and laugh-out-loud moments to personal stories and her favorite curated shopping finds, Busy will give her audience a healthy dose of [retail] therapy.?
But those are the only two projects that Busy has going on right now. She?s also a new spokesperson for the ADHD medication Qelbree. Five years ago, both Busy and her older daughter Birdie were diagnosed with ADHD. In a recent interview with USA Today, Busy spoke more about her diagnosis, including her personal symptoms, how it felt to suddenly have a reasoning behind some of her behavior patterns, and finding a treatment that works for her.
You may think it?s just part of being a parent, thinking you?re overwhelmed constantly. But If you?re struggling and feeling bad about yourself because you?re constantly forgetting things, its worth taking two hours for yourself to invest in your own mental health, and figure out whats actually going on,? Philipps, 44, tells USA TODAY over a Zoom call from New York.
When Philipps daughter Birdie, now 15, was having issues in school, a doctor in Los Angeles started talking to her and ex-husband Marc Silverstein about Birdie and ADHD. The symptoms sounded too familiar.
My ex-husband and I just started looking at each other because I checked every single box at the highest level,? she says. For years, Philipps thought there was something wrong with her. That she didn?t have follow-through, was lazy or forgetful. Hollywood labeled her ?ditzy.?
I allowed that, especially in my teen years, to be a word that was used to describe me,? she says, ?Im actually not at all ditzy, Im super focused, and Im really highly productive and I have great ideas. I just had a struggle my whole life with follow-through with making sure I could prioritize them.
It manifested as low self-esteem; she?d grow jealous of people who seemed to be productive and keep dates and times straight when she couldn?t even write things down correctly. In her 20s and 30s she used to show up 40 minutes early and hang out in her car ? just to make sure she wasn?t late.
I could not figure out how to be on time, because I would get distracted,? she says.
ADHD shows up differently for girls and women, with symptoms like Philipps?: trouble focusing and keeping organized and maintaining interest. For boys and men, hyperactive and impulsive symptoms are more common. That?s why many girls and women may be underdiagnosed, therefore untreated. Treatments can range from medication to behavior and lifestyle management, according to Children and Adults with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (CHADD).
After Birdie?s diagnosis Philipps found a doctor of her own and tried out different treatments, ultimately improving both her productivity and how she felt about herself. She currently takes Qelbree, a non-stimulant ADHD treatment approved for adults in 2022; she?s now a paid spokesperson for the brand.
Beyond the medication, though, she has other coping mechanisms: She always writes things down in a notebook and maintains a big calendar in her house with important dates and times. While she appreciates people are discussing mental health all over TikTok and Instagram ? and she learned details about ADHD symptoms she didn?t know before ? she reminds fans that her ADHD diagnosis and treatment plan came from a doctor, not an influencer.
We all have to be critical thinkers,? she says, ?and we all have to be able to understand that the internet is not the be-all, end-all of everything and sometimes not even the most truthful information.
[From USA Today]
I feel all of this so hard because I was also diagnosed with ADHD in my late 30s. Similar to Busy, my catalyst for getting tested was Mr. Rosie suspecting that our son has it. That research made him realize that I checked most of the boxes as well. He used to joke that I always did things ?at 100% for 80% of the time,? meaning that I was super productive until it was time for the follow-through. I?m glad that Busy also got her diagnosis, treatment, and peace of mind. I like that although she?s being paid to talk about her treatment, she stresses that you need to figure out the different things that work best for you. Prior to my diagnosis, I started bullet journaling because I found that the routine and accountability helped me stay on track, even if there are days that my brain just won?t start, despite knowing what had to be done.
Like Busy, I also used to feel really down on myself, wondering why I couldn?t do something until the very last minute (?I?m a night owl!? ?I thrive under pressure!?) or that I needed to finish a project in one sitting or else I?d lose motivation and never get back to it. Honestly, I still get frustrated with myself some days. Finding out that nothing was ?wrong? with me, that it was just that my brain works differently, was an incredible feeling. There are a lot of online resources to help identify the symptoms, and seeing someone and being prescibed medication can truly can be life-changing. If you?re on the fence about getting tested, I totally understand. Give yourself some grace, and for that matter, please remember that you never know what others may be going through because if youre going through something, the chances are that youre not alone.

| | Busy Philipps: Chris Pratt's post treated Katherine Schwarzenegger like a possession | | Added 3 years ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

Last week Chris Pratt posted a ?tribute? to his wife, you can see it here. There isn?t anything inherently wrong with saying you think your spouse is nifty online, but Pratt?s post went sideways quickly. He made a poor word choice when describing his daughter that appeared insensitive to the health struggles his son survived following his premature birth. In addition to that, Pratt spoke of his wife, Katherine Schwarzenegger, in a way that was supposed to sound endearing, but in reality, was a little creepy. Creepy enough that Pratt?s former friend Busy Philips called him out on it on her podcast, Busy Philipps Is Doing Her Best. Busy got straight to the point calling Pratt?s messaging, ?f***ng weird.?
Busy Philipps just called out Chris Pratt for his Instagram post about Katherine Schwarzenegger.
On the Tuesday episode of her podcast, Busy Philipps Is Doing Her Best, which she co-hosts Caissie St. Onge, Philipps criticized Pratt for what she believed was disingenuous language that objectified his wife.
Philipps, who said she was friends with Pratt years ago and even vacationed with Pratt and Faris when the actress was pregnant with Jack, called the post f***ing weird.
Talking to her podcast listeners, Philipps said, Youre probably not the type of lady that will laugh enthusiastically if youre with a man and he starts to make very tired gender jokes about responsibilities and duties and even like, the f***ing tired bit that hes doing which is, She runs the show I occasionally open a bag of pickles, she explained. Thats how f***ing dumb what he said is. You are a Marvel superhero. You made $480 million last year. You work non-stop. You dont just open a f***ing jar of pickles.
Philipps went on to say that the post didnt sit right with her because it seemed like he was acknowledging the power that he held in their relationship by patronizing his wife.
What she does in their household is probably a lot. She probably does a lot of the domestic labor. They have a kid and whatever. That is actually legitimately a lot of f***ing work. But by the way hes talking about himself, putting himself in it, in the center of it, it makes it seem like its bulls***, she explained.
Referencing to a line in the post in which Pratt says Schwarzenegger is his greatest treasure right next to my Ken Griffey Jr Upper Deck Rookie card, the Girls5Eva star said, he has possessions, and shes one of them.
[From Yahoo]
Busy makes a lot of good points here. Of course, Katherine has Kennedy/Shriver/Schwarzenegger money so she?s not dependent on Pratt?s earnings, but the point is the same: he works hard and provides a secure income for them. So his claims about not contributing more than opening the occasional ?jar of pickles? does ring false. And everything about his post intones Katherine is a possession, even without his rookie card joke. He?s centered his message around what is provided for him: a good life, strong children even her pure heart belongs to him. The framing of the photo itself suggests the order in the household. Pratt?s facing full camera, smiling, engaged and she is turned away from the spotlight, towards him, looking up at his face with a plastered-on smile. Pratt is the center and she directs all her energy to him. I?m sure Katherine works around the home. I?m sure she?s hands on with their daughter. But I think we all know theirs is a fully staffed house. If you couple that along with all the times Pratt has used his wife as the butt of a joke for laughs, Busy?s right, ?it seem(s) like its bulls***.
As the excerpt mentioned, Busy said she used to be friends with Pratt and his ex-wife, Anna Faris. So she didn?t make these comments lightly. Busy remembers Pratt as being ?super nice and funny.? Busy said ?I knew him in the before times, I dont know him now.? Since she referred in the podcast to Pratt?s doomsday prepping and drinking, I think ?the before times? means his conversion to Christianity and not his meteoric rise career-wise. I honestly think his connection to Hillsong has affected him more than any ego issues with his success. I wouldnt be surprised if the idea that wives belonged to their husbands was broadcasted all over that place.

Despite Busy Philipps uptick in projects, she?s still doing a lot of sponcon on social media. She?s currently partnering with Yoplait in their OuiFresh Self Care Pack giveaway in honor of Self Care Day, July 24th. The packs include Oui Yogurts, a nail file, a key charm, a tote and Essie nail polishes. They also include self-care tips from Busy. So Yahoo interviewed Busy as part of The Unwind series to get some of her ?tips and tricks? for their readers.
On being vulnerable on social media: I think its great that more conversations are being had about mental health and well-being. I mean, Marlo Thomas told us in the 70s that its OK to cry. Its helpful to get out your emotions and its actually not helpful to hold things in. I think that the more people talk about and normalize mental health struggles or what theyre going through in a real way ? and not like a performative, superficial Im doing this because I feel like I should be doing this way ? I think the better off were all going to be.
On social media replacing real life: But one thing I would say about social media and where I think people sometimes have trouble navigating that is that you have to be self-aware of who youre speaking to in your social media. I think that sometimes people sort of use it in place of close friends or family or reaching out in those ways. I dont want that to be a thing that takes precedent over actually connecting with people who are in your life.
Her self-care go-to: I love exercise as a form of self-care for myself. Sweating every day has really made a difference in my mental health and well-being. And Ive noticed a difference: Ive been having a little bit of a trickier time recently and Im like, oh, its because I havent been working out every day. Theres something for me that happens ? you know, Im not a doctor or a scientist ? whether its my endorphins or just getting going, it just makes me feel better, so thats a huge part of my self-care. And sometimes it is the only thing I can do in a day. And sometimes it annoys my kids, Im not going to lie. Are my children someday going to be like, My mother was always working out? [laughs] But Im not always working out; its one workout and its 45 minutes, so they can calm down. I find that thats a thing that I need to do basically daily or very regularly in order to feel sort of in myself.
Her mantra: I do try to live by and remind myself very consistently that everything works out the way that its supposed to. And its hard ? that is so hard to remember sometimes. But if you really listen to yourself and your intuition, and youre able to drop into that, youre not going to make a bad decision.
[From Yahoo!]
It?s interesting to see crying framed as self-care but any release of emotion is, isn?t it? I always sleep better after I?ve spent a good amount of time laughing particularly hard. It?s cathartic and I think a good cry is the same release. I really like Busy?s advice about checking yourself on social media. I do know people who lean on social media as if it is their social network.
As for believing that everything works out the way it?s supposed to, I understand what Busy is trying to convey. But it is so incredibly hard to put faith in that while in the thick of life. And I can?t help but think that yes, the end result worked out, but the intended result would have also been good too. I am genuinely happy with where I am in life. But that?s not to say that there isnt a bunch of stuff I wish I?d done differently. I?m not trying to be cynical, I do think things work out. I just question if they always work out exactly as they were supposed to. Like, maybe alternate plane Hecate is also genuinely happy with her outcome.

Busy Philipps is a spokesperson for Olay. She appeared along with several notable women in Olay?s Super Bowl ad that was lighthearted but inspiring. Busy?s current campaign, along with talk show host Lilly Singh and model Denise Bidot, is for Olay Skin Promise, which is Olay?s commitment to ?zero skin retouching.? That means, any time you see a photo or commercial with the Olay Skin Promise mark, that image has not been filtered, airbrushed or altered in any way. The move is an attempt to promote body positivity by producing more realistic imagery. Busy spoke with Lara Spencer on Good Morning America about the campaign and why it was important to her, which is mainly so her girls can grow up seeing what women actually look like. You can watch Busy?s full segment here.
You?re a mom to two girls. So this is a great message for them
My older daughter loves it, and totally gets it. My little one has no idea, she doesn?t understand. But she will and it?s wonderful that she?s going to grow up in a world where people are taking these stands, brands like Olay and CVS is doing their Beauty Unaltered, so they?re also committing to not having airbrushed images. Like, what is that? We can?t all look like an airbrushed, face-tuned thing and I?m just really proud to work with Olay on its campaign with Lilly Singh and Denise.
I?m sure this was clear but just in case ? the promise is not to retouch images; this is not a part of the #makeupfree movement. However, Busy said in her GMA segment that she was only wearing Regenerist and no foundation on the show. When her first Olay ads came out, Busy couldn?t believe they were unaltered, she was so happy how she looked in them and I agree, she looks amazing. (I also covet the boots she wore to the GMA interview. Photo below)
Busy mentioned the CVS Beauty Unaltered campaign that is making the same promise. Aerie also has a similar campaign. I could not get more behind these efforts. I?d love my children to grow up looking at photos of what people really look like, but I won?t lie, I would benefit greatly from not comparing myself to a model?s altered image as well. Like Busy said, we can?t all look like those airbrushed people we admire in the magazines. Hell, the people in those ads can?t look like that either. So wouldn?t it be great to see obtainable beauty. And I know it?s easy to write these celebrities off because they tend to be beautiful in their own right. But they still have to have the guts to stand the criticism hurled at them for daring to show themselves as natural as possible, which is exactly what happened after Busy?s first Olay commercial. She said that some troll wrote it was ?ironic I have an Olay commercial cause my skin is terrible.? So I really do applaud these models willing to take the slings and arrows in order to push this movement forward. Hopefully that world that Busy spoke of that promotes natural images can become a reality.

When people tell me they hear my voice in my stories because they listen to our podcast it blows me away. I consider it a great compliment, and there are a handful of celebrities for whom I always do that. Oprah is definitely one. Can you NOT hear Oprah?s voice when you?re reading one of her interviews? Busy Philipps is another one. Busy is poised to be the Oprah for Millenials, I?m convinced. Her E! Show got canceled but that network in no way deserved her. I?m waiting for her next big move because she is amazing, she wears her heart on her sleeve and she is fearlessly herself.
Bustle Magazine has a bunch of interviews with women they?re calling Rule Breakers. They have Jameela Jamil on the cover, Quimby covered that, but they also profile Busy Philipps and Stacey Abrams, the rightful governor of Georgia. Stacey is on to better things too! Busy talked about being loud, being herself and standing up for what she believes in. Its kind of reassuring to hear that its not always easy for her, but that she just makes it look that way. Like when Busy testified in front of Congress by sharing the story of her abortion it was hard for her. She looked so cool and collected and she expertly handled the idiocy of the Republican questioning her, so I couldnt tell.
On opening up about her abortion
?Talking about my abortion on my show was a decision that I made because I?m aware of how people think of me. I?m just a normal woman ? I?m their best friend! ? and I wanted to say: Like one in four American women, I had an abortion. And I?m so over holding all of the shame.?
On being herself
?I?ve always been too much. I?ve always been too big, too much, too loud, too ? something.?
On testifying before Congress
?Testifying at Congress was bonkers? a week-long panic attack. I had to sit across from a congressman who has been elected to government, and he was talking about pre-conception souls, and I was like, ?Are we in the same country? We?re not having the same conversation, is the problem.??
On changing hearts and minds
?I think that one of the tenets of being an artist is imbuing your work with ideas. That is what cultures respond to and get shaped around, and I would just encourage the people working in the entertainment industry to put out more thoughtful sh*t You change people?s hearts and minds by telling them stories about another way to be, and we have stopped doing that to a large portion of our country.?
On why she speaks out about important issues
?All I want is for my daughters to not have any of the f*cking bullsh*t holding them down. If that means I have to be loud about it in all ways, all around, I?ve decided that I can handle that.?
[From Bustle, headers changed]
I wanted to talk changing hearts and minds, although that quote seems incomplete. In the full piece there isnt much more context. So many artists: writers, actors, directors, and producers, are working on stories that champion progressive and diverse ideas. Were seeing more of those thanks to streaming services, but there are still too many old, white male gatekeepers to getting those shows made and distributed. Plus theres a segment of the population which is absolutely beyond reach. There are people who are quite miserably content in their racist, sexist bubbles for whom there is no convincing of anything. As Busy mentioned, theyre not even having the same conversation and no amount of storytelling will fix that.

Some of you eyeroll when I talk about Busy Philipps but those of you who know me know I don?t stan many celebrities. Busy deserves her own talk show again plus a huge paycheck. She is exceptionally entertaining and fun to watch. I wish network television would stop promoting mediocre douchebros, but I digress. Busy was at a Shape Magazine event where she talked about her approach to fitness. She said a few things which I could definitely relate to, namely that she never considered herself an athlete until she found the workouts she loved.
On how she started loving workouts
In the early 2000s I was asked to lose weight for a part, I wrote about this in my book, which is not an uncommon thing that happens in Hollywood. They sent me to [trainer] Gunnar Peterson and he showed me a way into fitness by introducing me to spin classes, showing me the workouts and all that stuff. I was conditioned to think that because I didnt play sports in high school, because I didnt like PE that I wasnt an athletic person. I think people do that. Finding it organically has been incredible for me, but I was told I had to. For people who arent told they have to, I would say [they should] be open to the possibility.
Modeling fitness to her kids
I didnt have a family growing up where activity and exercise was a thing. My girls have a different experience because their dad goes to spin class every day, I do my workout every morning. I feel like modeling behavior for younger generations is so important. Thats part of the reason I post my workouts on the stories. Its not because Im like look at how hot my body is. This is a thing I committed to every day. Everyone can show up every day if thats what they choose to do.
[From People Video]
I only joined a couple of sports in high school, tennis and skiing, and never considered myself an athlete either. It really just depends on finding the workouts that you like to do. In the early 2000s I discovered this program called Body For Life (I dont do it anymore, but it definitely changed my life) and got quite fit. I found my love of exercise and do consider myself athletic now. My commitment comes in waves, but like Busy I try to do it every day and am on a workout kick lately. I started lifting more weight! I?m not as cardio-centric as I used to be. It?s not something I?m doing on my own, I just joined a different gym which offers split classes where half is spinning and the other half is TRX or circuits. I?m definitely toning up but it makes me so much hungrier too and Im having trouble managing that.
