What about your diet ? What ’ s it like ?
I ’ m always asked why I don ’ t weigh 1,000 pounds since I work for Pizza Today , a national magazine geared toward the pizza industry . I limit myself to pizza once a week . I keep it simple . Find healthy foods that you like and eat them every day . I start each day with a protein smoothie that I make at home . Lunch will consist of a chicken breast and bag of frozen vegetables that are easy to heat up in the break room . Dinner is usually more fun with homemade tacos or gluten free pasta .
What compelled you to change how you approached your health ?
I always enjoyed working out , but I also liked wine and eating out six days a week . I wasn ’ t seeing any results . Then I started educating myself on nutrition and mindset . It was a game changer and since I started cleaning up my diet and meditating , things have slowly started moving in the right direction .
How differently do you feel at 40 as opposed to when you were 30 ?
I definitely feel better physically , but the biggest difference is my mindset going into 40 versus 30 is I ’ m way more focused and happy .
Family focused . Community focused . Partnership focused .

What advice do you have for others ?
Patience . Be patient with yourself . If you start a program and you have a bad day or week . Don ’ t quit . Get back up .
Be consistent .
Incorporate small changes into your lifestyle . If you try to overhaul everything on a Monday , you ’ ll be back to your old ways by Tuesday night . Start with trying a new healthy breakfast for a few weeks . Then move to lunch , and so on .
Start hanging out with people who inspire you to be better . Get rid of the friend who tries to drag you down .
Keep it simple . Even if you have zero equipment and no gym membership you can have an amazing workout . Just get to moving and break a sweat .
BREATHE . Be conscious of your breath . A few times a day sit up straight and take ten deep inhales / exhales . You notice the tension you have in your shoulders will fade away . Around 3pm every day when I start to feel a little tired I will find an upbeat song and breath to the beat . It ’ s an instant pick-me-up .
