SJP attributes her fabulous figure to daily personal training sessions and regular yoga classes. "I do like feeling fit and healthy. When you're young, you can run around and not really care about what shape you're in because you wake up every day feeling OK. But now that I'm older, I need to do more for myself," she explained to Good Housekeeping.

She Loves to Eat

"I love to eat. I think about food all the time," Parker confessed to Good Housekeeping. Matthew and I will lie in bed at night, and we'll say to each other, 'Who is going to make the coffee tomorrow? What kind of coffee should we have? The Kenyan or the Jamaican? What are we going to eat? If you get up before me, are you going to make bacon? Will you make the eggs over easy? Will you put cheese in them? Should we have whole wheat toast?' It's very sexy. Then we have breakfast the next morning, and we talk about what we want to eat for lunch. And at lunch, we talk about dinner. Basically, we think and talk about food all the time."

Sarah's drink-of-choice? "At this point I'd say, oh how crazy is this, almond milk," she revealed on The Doctors. "I love it. I can't figure out if it's like an entire meal, or desert, or thin and refreshing or thick like a milkshake. It's like the gift that keeps on giving. I'm crazy for almond milk."
