My Answer's to Holly's Questions:

1. How do you stay fit?

Great question! I strive to workout 6 days a week, giving myself 1 rest day a week.  I strength train twice a week, training for my first half marathon on Tuesdays/Thursdays/Saturday’s & Sunday’s and I also try to get in one or two kickboxing classes a week!  I also just started Insanity this week J.

What is your activity of choice and how did you get into it?

My favorite activity would have to be cardio kickboxing, I never consider this workout a chore.  I absolutely love it!  When I first joined my gym (years ago), I always noticed this one class where everyone just came out drenched! I was intrigued and decided to join in and have been going weekly ever since!

2. What is your favorite thing to do (other than #1) in your spare time?

I love making bracelets or anything creative.  I started both my blog and my jewelry business (Peace Babi Boutique) at the beginning of this year and absolutely love them both!

3. What are some of your big goals right now?

Right now my biggest goal would have to be working towards accomplishing my first Half Marathon that will take place in October (Long Island Diva Half Marathon).

Definitely to Italy!

What did you end up doing?
