I work out with a trainer, Anna Kaiser, three days a week.

If I'm exhausted and I just don't feel like it, then I don't do it. I am a human being, after all. But I also know I'm the kind of person who, if I take one day off, well, it's very easy for me to take the next day off and then quit exercising.

There's no real manual on being a parent. There's no real manual on being a wife. I keep reminding myself, My mother did all this, only she never got to leave the house. OK, I can do this. We're all learning on our own learning curve.

I try to make my heart beat out of my chest, hard-core, once a day for at least a half hour. I think that's very important.

I feel like my mind is a little quieter when I exercise.

I work out every day. It's part of my life. That's one of the benefits of having kids in school full-time.
