The Revolution Diet Tip: Eat Before You Go Out
Ty Pennington said the girls have adopted a unique strategy for going out with friends. They eat at home before meeting friends for dinner, and spend time at the restaurant being social. This saves them money and keeps them away from any temptations on the menu.
How Saying No Changes Your Life
Dr. Tiffanie Davis Henry explained The Power Of Saying No to The Harris Sisters. That advice is making a difference. They are saying no to fattening desserts and making choices for themselves instead of others.
“Before The Revolution, we were Yes people, and now we say no,” The Harris Sisters said. Saying no to others is saying Yes to yourself.
The Revolution: “Me List”
The Harris Sisters have accomplished their goal of putting themselves first. This was the first item on their “Me List” of things they hoped to achieve during The Revolution.
Dr. Tiffanie Davis Henry said everyone can practice saying no in their own lives. No is a protective mechanism, and it can bring about change. Saying no can make you feel better.
Ty Pennington: Home Makeover
Before their Revolution, The Harris Sisters spent a lot of time on their couch. Ty Pennington wanted to help them renovate their living space to reflect their more active lifestyles. He surprised the girls at their home to help them shake things up.
