Well, 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.

What's not to love about us! People got to know Misty and me in Athens. We've continued to be successful and continued to connect with the fans. I promise we're going to be tough to get rid of.

I want to be efficient and effective in everything I do. I start every day with a protein shake, with my vanilla Almond Breeze, and my kids start their day the same way as well. [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.

You touch every other ball and, if you screw up, you only have one more person to back you up. You can't go hide in the corner.
