H&H Interview with Laura:
1. What advice do you have for moms to help them stay motivated with their fitness goals?
My advice would be to have a vision and a plan. Planning is the most important step in reaching your goals. Write down your goals, like a staircase take small steps. When you reach one cross it off and move up the steps to the next one.
Believe that you can achieve your fitness goals and you will. Change your mindset to always be positive, throw out any negative thoughts in your head.
One thing I like to do is hang a calendar on the fridge and cross off everyday that I exercise with a big red marker. This gives you a visual and motivation to keep crossing off those days.
2. What are the top 3 items in your grocery cart?
Oatmeal, Broccoli and Organic Chicken.
3. What is your guilty pleasure when you get a break from the kids?
The Spa is my guilty pleasure. I love to have a facial. When I am done, I am so relaxed it was like taking a mini vacation. It is so important for women to make time for themselves.
4. What would we be surprised to find in your purse?
A pink Kookie Pen, 4 types of gum. I also collect positive fortunes from Fortune Cookies and keep them in my wallet!
5. What is your favorite reality TV show?
My favorite reality TV show would have to be Dancing with the Stars. There are so many reality shows with a negative message. Dancing with the starts is fun, entertaining and makes you smile. The contestants work very hard and inspire the viewers to get up off the couch and dance!
6. What is your go-to ‘Cheat Day’ treat?
I have two favorite Cheat Day treats pizza and chocolate. A girls gotta live…
7. What is the funniest thing your kids have said or done lately?
My kids ask me to flex my muscles for their friends. They like to show off their “buff”
mom.
8. What is your favorite quotation?
There are actually two. The first one is “Motherhood is a Sport”. I love this saying!!! and “Follow your dreams because you never know where they will take you”
9. What songs are top on your iPod playlist right now?
My top five are:
1. Just Can’t Get Enough – Black Eyed Peas
2. On the Floor – Jennifer Lopez & Pitbull
3. Club Can’t Handle Me – Flo Rider
4. Just the Way Your Are – Bruno Mars
5. Don’t Stop Believing – Journey
10. Who is your favorite celebrity mom and why?
My favorite celebrity mom is Jennifer Nicole Lee. She is a shining example of someone who has shed her “fat suit” and transformed her life. She is a mother of two busy boys and also runs a fitness empire that she created with hard work and determination. She leads by example and lives the fitness lifestyle.
11. What is one thing most people don’t know about you?
I used to be very shy and found it hard to hold conversations with people. Fitness has drawn me out of my shell, given me confidence to talk with anyone and I am having so much fun. I am not “shy” anymore, I even make my own YouTube videos for the world to see. Big change!
12. What is your secret to staying Hot & Healthy?
The “biggest” secret I have and to share with Hot and Healthy mom’s is to eat the best quality food you can find. Your body knows what to do with “real food from Mother Nature”. Get rid of the processed food and your body will love you forever!!
*Thanks, Laura!*
