1. I used to run 45-60 minutes every day as a teenager. It helped me manage stress, and got addicted to the runner's high of endorphins!
2. Yoga is my #1 exercise go-to. You can make it relaxed or intense at any time of the day and feel so good, and sleep better every time.
3. Karate, I believe, is the highest form of exercise, leading to enlightenment, extreme physical fitness and real skill.
4. Dance is a favorite. Used to teach Zumba, it introduced me to at least 72 styles from around the world! It also gives you incredible results!
5. Lived in Hawaii 11 years. Made me much of who I am today. 
6. Broke the chains of addiction and overcame compulsive overeating disorder of 10 years.
7. Lost 40 pounds for good.
8. Loved the sweet smell of academic success. Went to college instead of high school.
9. Graduated with B.S. Degree Kinesiology from SDSU San Diego State University. 
10. Absolutely love the idea of healthy cooking and beautiful, delicious meals. Next step is to do it!
11. I'm a mom. Two boys. Says it all.
12. My spiritual life is big to me. I best get along with others who value this as well, and practice respect.
