My favorite power food is Greek yogurt and honey.

I'm stronger than I think I am. Mentally, physically.

I'm an avid animal lover. When I was 16, I wanted to be a vet or a zookeeper. I grew up with animals. At one time we had between five and eight dogs in the house, with four cats. We're menagerie people.

All my life, I've dreamed in gold.

I didn't want to stop before my time was up.

I think the most surprising thing about the Olympics would be the amount of interaction and partying that goes on behind the scenes. They have nightclubs at the Olympic Village. It's like college all over again.

If you maintain a healthy diet, or at least are smart about your food choices, you'll still see the pounds come off.
