I had a baby in October 2009. I want her to grow up eating healthy and being active. I want to equip her with the knowledge to make good choices and lead a healthy lifestyle. So I have to do these things, too. Lead by example.

Our family is plagued with health issues (diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure…) and I don’t want to deal with these when I’m older. 

Also, I really want to be a runner. I want people to look at me and think, “Oh, she’s a runner.” I want to run long distances, so long that I have to eat that goo stuff, and maybe have some toenails fall off.
