More quotes by Michelle Obama
Now, a good education is about so much more than just learning geometry or memorizing dates in history. All of that is important, but an education is also about exploring new things -- discovering what makes you come alive, and then being your best at whatever you choose
Michelle Obama
Exercise is really important to me - it's therapeutic. So if I'm ever feeling tense or stressed or like I'm about to have a meltdown, I'll put on my iPod and head to the gym or out on a bike ride along Lake Michigan with the girls.
Michelle Obama
Communities and countries and ultimately the world are only as strong as the health of their women.
Michelle Obama
I always want to be on the cusp of being in the best shape that I can be.
Michelle Obama
In the 10 cities with the nation's highest obesity rates, the direct costs connected with obesity and obesity-related diseases are roughly $50 million per 100,000 residents. And if these 10 cities just cut their obesity rates down to the national average, all added up they combine to save nearly $500 million in healthcare costs each year.
Michelle Obama
Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices we are going to have to change our conversation we're going to have to change our traditions, our history we're going to have to move into a different place.
Michelle Obama
When I'm unhappy with something, people know, because I don't want to hold on to it. I'd rather deal immediately with the stuff that bothers me, so using my network - my girlfriends, my husband, my mom - I talk a lot, I vent.
Michelle Obama
The one thing I believe is that families are off-limits. And I think my husband said it, and he was clear on that. And I totally agree with him.
Michelle Obama
I look at how my kids view exercise. They have a complete understanding that nutrition and exercise go hand in hand. I didn't think like that when I was a kid. But they have a real consciousness about it that I'd like to think comes from the years of attention we've put into this.
Michelle Obama
I grew up on the south side of Chicago in a working class community. There were no miracles in my life, there's nothing miraculous about how I grew up, and I want people to know when they look at me, to be clear that they see what an investment in public education can look like.
Michelle Obama
We learned about dignity and decency - that how hard you work matters more than how much you make... that helping others means more than just getting ahead yourself.
Michelle Obama
I like to talk about my obsession with french fries because I don't want people to think that 'Let's Move' is about complete, utter deprivation. It's about moderation and real-life changes and ideas that really work for families.
Michelle Obama
My children are very blessed.... That's why I think that mentoring is such a critical part of the role I can play in this position. I see how little bits of exposure and big bits of exposure really change my girls significantly, and I want that for more girls around the country and the world.
Michelle Obama
We're going to have to change our traditions, our history.
Michelle Obama
I think my mother taught me what not to do. She put us first, always, sometimes to the detriment of herself. She encouraged me not to do that. She'd say being a good mother isn't all about sacrificing it's really investing and putting yourself higher on your priority list.
Michelle Obama
It's important for us not to lose sight of the fact that this is a family that's grieving and there's been a tremendous loss. And we all have to rally around that piece of it.
Michelle Obama
There's so much going on in the healthcare system that makes it difficult for women to really have a strong economic hold if insurance is always an issue.
Michelle Obama
I tell this to my girls all the time: This journey we're on is a once - in - a - lifetime opportunity.
Michelle Obama
Fruits and vegetables for some kids are scary and not fun.
Michelle Obama
One of the things I've done personally is bring my girlfriends into my health and fitness journeys.
