I cook healthy meals in large batches, so my family of four can have dinner for two or three nights without me having to make a new meal every night. I workout for 30 minutes three to five times a week in my garage gym or walk in my neighborhood. I try to take some time in the evenings to turn off social media and be present to sit with my thoughts, to help minimize stress eating.

Raw salmon sushi, because it’s incredibly delicious and you get omega-3s from the fish.

Apple nachos- 1 sliced apple, organic peanut butter, chocolate chips, and cinnamon.

I love to dance fast-paced dances like hip hop and shuffle for my workouts sometimes.

The Glucose Goddess Method book.

Blinding Lights, by the Weekend.

Grew up with an interest in it. My mom read, “Sugar Blues” when I was a baby and she has a passion for healthy eating that she passed to me. I also grew up watching family members go on diet after diet only to regain the weight they would lose right back and I wanted to be able to help people in this area. Plus seeing the obesity rates in our nation and now seeing how some children are even obese, just made me want to dive into a job where I could impact our nation and fight the obesity epidemic.

The Hawk. Because I have eyes like a hawk. My family is always losing things and no matter what, I can always find them.
