When I was younger, my step-dad nicknamed me Olive Oil. I guess I was always long and lanky like the adorable character we all remember from Popeye. Although I have never been overweight, I still feel the need to be healthy from the inside out.

To me the definition of health is made up of three parts; physical, nutritional and emotional health. Each leg of this triad goes hand in hand. Any way you spin it, you need all three to be balanced and be TRULY healthy.

As far as physical health goes, I try to workout everyday. My goal is not to lose weight, but to tone areas that need more definition. (bootay and abs!) I like to randomize workouts and vary the type; muscle confusion is key.

This past year, I decided to make some changes in my nutritional healthy by becoming vegetarian. I spend a lot of time researching recipes that fulfill the necessary nutritional value for my body each day. I have found many ways to save time and make eating healthy while living a busy life possible. Healthy meal plans have to work for your lifestyle or you will take the easy way out!

I feel that as long as my physical and nutritional health needs are being met, I feel great, and therefore emotional health follows. When I have a lot on my plate (no pun intended) I don't get overwhelmed because I have the energy to tackle it. Also, because I take time to plan meals and workouts, I am not caught off-guard by trying to squeeze things in.

Overall, I feel there are way too many people in the United States (and other countries) that are not healthy in any of these areas. More medicine is being prescribed than ever before yet people are more sick than we have ever been. The rates of high blood pressure, diabetes, depression, autism, cancer, etc. are alarming and continue to increase.

Thanks to the opportunities given to me by Beachbody, I am helping others to END THE TREND of obesity and guide people on the right track to health.

I want to do my part in fixing these problems. I feel that if I can guide individuals and assist them in making healthier lifestyle changes the domino effect will begin. It is just a matter of breaking some bad habits and a little bit of will power. Let's make some changes and save some lives!
