Being a working mommy is something I've always wanted to be. My mother is my biggest role model and she showed me how to do it right.

A true competitor works the hardest, cares the most, and makes the best of what they have.

And it's given me great perspective. It makes me really focused and efficient, which - I was focused before I had babies but I wasted a lot of time. Prior to having babies I thought I was so busy and now I realize just how ignorant I was.

[Nutrition] is a huge piece of the puzzle. It's not just about working hard and being physical. It's about being smart and mindful of what's going in and out of our bodies.

I do a program called Fast Twitch twice a week, basically my lifting and strength training, I'm working with a spine specialist, which has been a new addition for me since my surgery to really get some great support for my shoulder, and I really love the way my body feels. It takes the pressure off my lower back and kind of just shares duties, really, with my body.

It's not a sprint to get in shape.

The advice I will give my children, if and when they have Olympic aspirations, will be to go for it.
