Q: What was your diet and exercise regimen during your Buff Brides experience?
A: My diet regimen included eating breakfast every day, staying closer to fresh vegetables and proteins, reducing my alcohol intake, watching the fat and staying away from white food.
Q: What was your favorite part of the experience?
A: My favorite part of this experience was actually the weight training, losing the weight and feeling better.
Q: What was your least favorite part of the experience?
A: My absolute least favorite part was (and still is) the cardio.
Q: Who was your biggest cheerleader?
A: I would have to say that my biggest cheerleader was my friend Lisa. She would always make sure that I didn't skip breakfast. When she would see that I might have been too busy to have breakfast, she would prepare me a bowl of cereal with fresh fruit and make sure that I ate it. She would also prepare plates of fresh veggies for me to pick on when I was too stubborn to head to the salad bar. She is a teacher at the school where I am the chef — where I serve young men (grades K-12) foods that should NOT be part of my life (i.e., burgers, pizza and chicken nuggets).
Q: Do you think you'd have been as happy on your wedding day if you hadn't lost the weight?
A: Probably not.
Q: What would you have done differently in regard to the program?
A: I don't think I would have done anything differently. I have never worked so hard for something before.
Q: What would you have done differently in regard to the wedding?
A: I would have made the wedding longer! And I wish that I had it videotaped.
