1. I always set my alarm clock to end in a 7 or 3. (For example 5:57 as opposed to 6:00am. ;-))
2. When I was growing up, we had a bunny named Marshmallow. He got so big we couldn’t take him out and had to clean the cage with him in it.
3. I eat some type of nut butter every single day.
4. I used to be obsessed with Britney Spears and saw her perform in Disney World when I was a senior in high school on our school trip.

Answers to 11 Questions Lisa asked:

1. What’s your favorite meal?
   I love salad w/ a million different types of veggies, cheddar cheese and grilled chicken. Gourmet pizza rocks my world too.
2. Dogs or cats?
   Had a cat growing up and loved her. Now, I like dogs and cats as long as they are not mine. I have a hard enough time keeping my house clean right now without pets.
3. If given one million dollars, how would you spend it?
   I would finish getting our gym up and running. I would save a good chunk of it. I would do a little work on my house. I would give some to my parents. And I would find a local charity that we could work with on a continual basis.
4. Do you prefer biking or walking as a mode of transportation?
   Walking if it’s in a city. Biking if it’s in the woods. 🙂
5. What’s the fitness goal you’ve accomplished that makes you most proud?
   Becoming a personal trainer (and HKC) after years of wanting to be one.
6. What is the best dish that you make?
   Chicken Picatta
7. Which kitchen utensil do you use most often?
   Does a knife count? Or a blender? I use both of those daily!
8. Brussels sprouts: friend or foe?
   I just tried them for the first time and thought they were pretty good!
9. Would you wake a sleeping baby?
   Nope.
10. Can you recite the alphabet backwards?
    Not unless I had a LONG time to think about it, which I don’t.
11. What’s your first memory?
    Woah. Tough question. I honestly have no idea! I might institute a new rule…you can skip one question. 😉
