13. Do you have a gym membership? Not at this time. Love it when I have the money, but that's scarce lately.

14. Who's your biggest supporter? My life partner

15. Who's your biggest inspiration? My mom. She struggled through out her adult life with her weight and we often swapped strategies. I like to think she would be interested in what I've learned about nutrition and weight in the years since her passing (not weight related).

1. What did you have for breakfast? Honey Strained Greek Yogurt w/ Vanilla Almond Granola and 1.75oz grilled chicken tenderloins

2. How much water do you drink per day? anywhere from 8-14 cups depending on how much I worked out/sweat or how thirsty I am.

3. What are your favorite snacks? Kashi's Layered Granola Bar (Dark Chocolate Coconut) and Chewy Granola Bar (Honey Almond Flax). I also like to pair a slightly frozen Dannon Light & Fit non-fat vanilla yogurt (60z, 80 cals) w/ 1/2 cup of slightly unfrozen blueberries.Not only is it delicious and satisfying, but I love the swirl of color the blueberries make in the melting frozen yogurt...it's like yummy art.

4. How many calories do you eat per day? depends on the day/how much exercise/out of town traveling/etc. - I try to keep it at 1200 calories minimum unless I'm really not feeling well that day and can't eat much. But normally I'm around 1400-2000 with exercise.

5. What do you generally eat for lunch? If I workout in the morning, I'm usually having my protein smoothie right about that time (strawberries, banana, 4oz nonfat vanilla yogurt, chocolate whey protein, crushed ice = ~300 calories). Otherwise I might have a Birds Eye Steamfresh Broccoli w/ lightly sauced Cheese Steamer bag with some diced grilled chicken, a Boar's Head turkey wrap, a Chipotle veggie salad (under 400 cals).

6. Favorite body part to train? Don't really have one...I would like to say the glutes and the quads since they're the easiest with squats, haha. ) What needs to BECOME my favorite body part to train would be my lungs - need to work on my cardio and increase the stamina of my lungs.

7. Least favorite body part to train? Arms/shoulders/upper body - even if my trainer is pleased with my weight, I always feel "weak" that I'm not using more weight. Plus, I have a problem with my left shoulder blade, so it makes any kind of shoulder/arm work feel less successful compared to what I've done in the past.

8. Favorite workout at the moment? Personal training sessions - pretty much anything my trainer comes up with is good. I LOVE the arc trainer - a good 30-35 minute "run" on that for me burns around 600-750 calories depending on how much butt I'm kicking.

9. What are your "junk food" cravings? sometimes it's salt and sometimes it's chocolate. For salt - I crave chips. For chocolate - it's really any kind of milk chocolate will do (the dark doesn't do the same for me).

10. Do you take vitamins or supplements? If so, which ones? I take Airborne Chewable vitamins whenever I'm feeling a little run down or I'm starting to get a sore throat/fever. Recently, I've read so many mixed reviews on daily multivitamins that I'm currently trying to find the right "kind" and intake system for me. I'm also trying to find a good fish oil tablet that I can start taking again. I also use optimum nutrition whey protein powder (chocolate) for my post-workout smoothies or if I'm really low on protein on a given day.

11. How frequently do you eat out? TOO much...it's probably my biggest problem right now. It's something that I'm working on conquering right now to better the financial burden and my health. I'm currently undergoing a life change (moving, new job, new everything), so I'm in a good position to "reset" everything and start some good habits off the bat.

12. Do you have a workout buddy? No - I prefer to workout alone (I like having my set routine and spending the time I need on it - so often my workout buddy would be done way before I was and then I'd feel pressured to wrap my workout up quickly, which then led me to feel frustrated. Although having someone there who is "holding you accountable" is always a great asset.

13. Do you have a gym membership? Yes. I LOVE my gym. I hated my previous gym and it was part of the reason I didn't stick with my workouts. My current gym is probably my favorite gym post-college (because my college gym was a multi-million dollar spectacle that I miss oh-so-much, haha). Part of me is sad to be moving because my current gym is only a chain within this state and because I'm moving out of state, they won't have any of them elsewhere.

14. Who's your biggest supporter? My trainer/myself/my parents

15. Who's your biggest inspiration? My biggest fitness/weight loss inspiration would be watching the people on The Biggest Loser or Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss Edition...if they can lose (in one year) twice or triple the weight I'm trying to lose, then surely I can suck it up and get my work done to achieve my goals. But my biggest inspirations (in general, outside of fitness) would be my parents.
