The following Jack quotes are from his website. I thought it was a sweet end of the year tribute to his life as well as great motivation for 2012 resolutions: Jack LaLanne fervently believed every human being can attain maximum body health and fitness if they will practice moderation, eat the most natural foods, and exercise on a regular basis. Over the years on national television, radio talk shows and in feature stories written about Jack, certain ideas stated by Jack have become little gems known as “LaLanneisms”.
- Anything in life is possible and you can make it happen.
- Your waistline is your lifeline.
- Exercise is King, nutrition is Queen, put them together and you’ve got a kingdom.
- Don’t exceed the feed limit.
- The food you eat today is walking and talking tomorrow.
- Ten seconds on the lips and a lifetime on the hips.
- Better to wear out than rust out
- People don’t die of old age, they die of inactivity.
- First we inspire them, then we perspire them.
- You eat everyday, you sleep everyday, and your body was made to exercise everyday.
- Work at living and you don’t have to die tomorrow.
- I can’t die, it would ruin my image.
- If man makes it, don’t eat it.
- Your health account is like your bank account: The more you put in, the more you can take out.
- If one apple is good, you wouldn’t eat 100.
- It’s not what you do some of the time that counts, it’s what you do all of the time that counts.
- Eat right and you can’t go wrong.

After our work out this morning Oliver and I made some juice. Carrots, oranges, celery, an apple and some fresh ginger. It was delicious. Oliver added back in a spoonful of pulp. "Jack, this one's for you. Thanks for everything." - Cullen
I've always wanted a juicer! What are your favorite flavor combinations? And what tastes the best just solo, other than the obvious apple and orange juices??
ReplyDeleteYa know, we've never done a solo juice. Pulling out the giant juicer is enough of a production (and clean-up job) that if we're going to use it then we're probably going to use it BIG! I will say that a little fresh ginger root makes every juice better (in my opinion of course). And that even a small amount of celery goes a very long way (so don't be heavy handed with it). We'll throw in spinach occasionally in an effort to up the vitamins but it results in a very ugly juice. My friend Phu seems to make the best juices; I'll see if I can get her to weigh in. - Cullen
