Andrew Macpherson"I have a list on my iPhone of things that make me happy," says Jennie Garth. It must be working, because she looks brighter than ever in skinny kelly-green jeans (hmm, a nod to her Beverly Hills, 90210<\/i> character, Kelly Taylor?) and a white sweater.<\/p>\n

Jennie is definitely due for some happy: She's spent the past year going through a very public split from her husband of 11 years, Peter Facinelli, with whom she has three daughters: Luca, 15; Lola, 10; and Fiona, 6. But the breakup was also a wake-up call, in body and soul: "Now I feel stronger and more confident in my body."<\/p>\n

Check out this video of our cover shoot with Jennie Garth! <\/b><\/p>\n

And, boy, does it show. The 40-year-old lost 30 pounds and earned herself a "Da-amn, girl" shape. Her secret? Eating clean and exercising five days a week (three doing plyometrics and kickboxing, and two hiking with one of her dogs). Jennie is also amping up her career: She has a show in development with her friend and former co-star Luke Perry. After such a transformational year, she's learned a thing or two about working to reach any goal. Here are her tips:<\/p>\n

$\"jennie-garth-health\"$ jennie-garth-health<\/span> . I'll think, 'I'm already in my clothes now, so I may as well work out!'"<\/li>\n

Think of what it can do for you.<\/b> "The driving force of why I work out is just to be stronger—physically and mentally."<\/li>\n

Be a trainer.<\/b> "In the middle of a set, I love being told, 'You can do this.' It works for yourself, too. Use positive self-motivation."<\/li>\n

Bring a friend.<\/b> "Twice a week, I'll put the dog in the car and go for a hike. I'll think, 'My dog needs exercise, so we're both benefiting.'"<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Golden rules for not regaining a pound<\/b><\/p>\n
\n
Do check ins.<\/b> "I weigh myself every morning. If I don't, before you know it, I'll be up 10 pounds. It creeps. This morning, it was up 2 pounds. That's OK. But if it's up 6 pounds? I need to make adjustments."<\/li>\n
Run from fad diets.<\/b> "My biggest regret is putting my body through fad diets: Atkins, cleanses, the hCG diet. I lost like 18 pounds, but it came right back. The worst was fasting with colonics for three or four days. It was the most horrifying experience ever!"<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
3 ways to eat healthy<\/b><\/p>\n
\n
Sneaky swap I love:<\/b> Fage yogurt for sour cream or mayo. "I make this chicken dish that you're supposed to coat in mayonnaise, but I use Fage. My kids didn't even know!"<\/li>\n
My 173-calorie breakfast:<\/b> Greek yogurt + slivered almonds or whole oats<\/i>
"I throw some slivered almonds in it or some whole, raw oats—straight out of the box—and just grab a spoon and eat it on the way driving my girls to school."<\/li>\n
My two-step dinner:<\/b> Salmon with balsamic onions<\/i>
"I love making salmon with balsamic onions. There's something so tangy and sweet about it." Step 1: Season salmon with salt and pepper, and broil in the oven. Step 2: Slice up red onions; sauté in coconut or almond oil and balsamic vinegar until reduced to sauce. Top the salmon with it.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
