Full H&H Interview with Wendy:
1. What are the top 3 items in your grocery cart?
1.5 liter water bottles, bananas, and a bag of fresh spinach
2. What are you reading (honestly)?
I’m a news junky so I spend WAY too much time reading news stories online every single day. But when I get a free moment lately, I’ve been reading a recent gift from a friend – “Chicken Soup for the Soul: New Moms”

Deep tissue massage or pedicure

A few packets of Truvia, and individual dental flossers – hate having food stuck in my teeth!
5. What is your favorite reality TV show?
I don’t watch much Reality TV- But I do LOVE the chick shows – Grey’s Anatomy and Private Practice.
6. What is your cocktail of choice?
A very dry Napa Valley Cabernet…
7. What is the cutest thing your baby has done lately?
Well – she’s still so young that just a simple smile or giggle fills my eyes with tears…. After all, she is my little miracle.:)
8. What is your favorite quotation?
“We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand.” Randy Paush
“Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, so love the people who treat you right, forget about the ones who don’t, and believe that everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.”
9. What songs are on your workout playlist?
I teach spin classes so I use the CD’s I’ve bought and/or my students have put together for me. The songs I love are those that motivate me… some of my favorites come from Black Eye Peas, Lady Gaga, and Pink.
10. Who is your favorite celebrity mom and why?
Angelina Jolie with 6 kids! (3 biological children and 3 adopted children) Even with all her fame and fortune, she still seems to be a very hands-on mom. She also continues to help thousands of other vulnerable children with her extensive humanitarian work in the Third World.
11. What is something most people don’t know about you?
I was a child actress and did my first national commercial when I was 4 years old.
12. What is your secret to staying Hot & Healthy?
I teach spin classes, do yoga when I can slow downL, drink lots and lots of water, pack fruits and veggies for work every day, and always try to have healthy snacks everywhere… in my car, in my purse, and in my desk. I also make all my meals on Sunday nights, wash/cut up all the fruit/veggies – so they’re ready to go during the week.
