What type of exercise do you do?
Lots.... I decided a long time ago never to "diet", so I am in perpetual exercise motion. I usually exercise in some way every day. My favorites right now are cycling and swimming. I compete in both events because it gives me a goal to challenge myself with. When I am not training, I walk with my dogs.
What are your top 3 artists on your play list?
I usually skip to a song I like and if it fits my cadence, I go with it!
What is your favorite healthy snack or meal?
Before workout: oatmeal, peanut butter and banana toast
During workout: original chocolate Power Bar
There are some clear favorites after a long ride or swim: Rudy's combo chicken burrito; no sour cream and double chicken
Dessert: Dove chocolate, Ice blended mocha
How do you maintain a healthy lifestyle?
I keep a balanced schedule of athletic, stress reducing, volunteer and lifelong learning activities that are just for me.
What do you think about the Wellness Works website?
It's great! I think it gives people another topic to talk about that is other than work that still binds them in a common cause and contributes to better relationships.
What do you think AGIA could do to encourage people to live a healthy lifestyle?
AGIA could continue to promote the wellness initiative with things like promoting healthy snacks in the vending machines, covered bicycle racks, corporate pool passes, volunteer opportunities and a variety of learning opportunities.
