I'm a working mom, not a professional athlete, but I am a runner and that's a special club.

I was never obese, but I felt 'less than' because I wasn't as thin as other actresses. I totally fell for that low-fat craze. My goal was to be X jeans size or a specific number on the scale.

I've been with 'Days of Our Lives' for 21 years, and I've decided this year is going to be my last year.

My husband and I both have our bucket lists. Running a marathon was on mine.

I'll have wine or a piece of cake once in a while, but I don't look at it as sliding backwards, even if I go a whole week without working out. I don't dwell on it and beat myself up - I just try to have a healthier day tomorrow.

If you're sitting in front of the TV, you can't have ice cream. But if you're running around all day, then yeah, you can.

When I saw contestants fighting for their lives on 'The Biggest Loser,' I realized I just wanted to be healthy - to have fun playing soccer with my son or teaching my daughter to shoot hoops. Then it was so much easier to say no to carbs, soda, or dessert, and the weight just came off.
