" No, that is not me looking fabulous on a yacht, but hey, I figured I might as well go out in style, right?! Honestly, I&amp;#x27;ve been dreading writing this post, dreading saying goodbye to you all and this blog--this wonderful space that I have come to each day for almost five years, and where I have written almost 5,000 posts. Seriously, what am I going to do without you all? Without my daily excuse to follow breaking health news? I launched this blog on Glamour.com almost five years ago now, and it has been an honor and a privilege to be here year after year. I&amp;#x27;ve learned so much, personally, and have enjoyed following your lives in the process. There are too many lovely readers to mention (and if I tried, I&amp;#x27;d surely be leaving someone out), but please know that your enthusiasm, kindness and support has meant so much to me over the years. And now it&amp;#x27;s time for me to &amp;quot;turn the page&amp;quot; in my career, as my husband says. As you know, I&amp;#x27;ve been writing novels for the past few years, which has been tremendously rewarding and a huge career achievement for me. Magazines were my first love, but books have captured my heart, and I&amp;#x27;ve decided to follow my heart. I&amp;#x27;ve recently signed a new contract with my publisher, Penguin Books, for three more novels, and another coming out this spring, so that combined with my three little boys, means that it&amp;#x27;s time to find more balance. So, this is my last day, and my last post, for Glamour. Lexi Petronis will be replacing me as a daily blogger here. She&amp;#x27;s a voice you&amp;#x27;ve come to know and love these past years, and Vitamin G will continue to be the fun, informative and approachable source for health, fitness and diet news for years to come. I hope you&amp;#x27;ll keep in touch (please!?). You can find me on Facebook, and Twitter too. I&amp;#x27;ll be busy writing novels, chasing little boys, drinking lots of coffee (hey, java&amp;#x27;s good for us!) and running as often as possible. Finally, if I could boil my health advice down to a quick sentence it would be this: drink lots of water, value sleep, eat fruits and veggies liberally, find a form of fitness you love and stick to it, forgive yourself and others, love your body, flaws and all, and don&amp;#x27;t sweat the small stuff (cliche, but possibly the single most important advice for happiness ever). Hugs + much love. xoxo Photo: Thinkstock"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
