Skinny VS Curvy

What did Courteney (45) do the day before shooting a semi-naked scene on her show?

“I avoided salt the night before but no, I’m not that disciplined. I can’t be – I’m too hungry all the time. I just had to suck it in a little tighter! I was OK flashing some flesh. I think it’s great that the show portrays the reality of what it’s like to be in your 40s. It’s a great time of life.”

But did she live a healthy lifestyle when filming “Friends” (when she was quite skinny)?

“Well, first of all, I never exercised during ‘Friends’ – I just smoked loads of cigarettes. Now I eat and exercise, and you know, do everything I can… I just try a lot harder than I used to.”

Mandy Moore plans on getting healthier in 2010 – here’s the scoop from her interview with Shape Magazine:

Hit the farmers’ market every week
“I’m going through a phase where I’m kind of bored with food,” says Mandy. “I’m just tired of relying on takeout and restaurants.” To spice things up, Mandy and Ryan want to start eating at home more often. “Ryan is an amazing cook, and there’s a farmers’ market about a mile from our house,” she says. “I love the idea of getting up early on Sundays and walking to the market to pick up fresh fruits and vegetables. It’s a good way to start my day, and it makes me feel like I’ve accomplished something before other people are even awake.”

Actually use my home exercise equipment
For the last year, Mandy has been splitting her workouts between three 45-minute Pilates classes and three 45-minute hikes per week. “I’ve always had bad posture, and Pilates makes me feel taller and reminds me to keep my shoulders back,” she says. “And hiking isn’t just about doing cardio, it’s also when I can get my ‘me time’ to be alone with my thoughts.” This year she’d like to pump up her routines for a more balanced workout each time. “After Pilates I should do some cardio, and after hiking, I need to do some resistance training,” she says. “I have all the equipment in my house, and it’s just collecting dust. So after I get home from Pilates, I’m going to jump on my mini trampoline for 15 minutes. And after a hike, I’ll do some weight lifting or get down on my mat and do a set or two of crunches.”

How do you guys like the cover? It’s ruffles and daisy dukes instead of their typical bikinis!
