FMM: As a writer, trainer, business owner, and entrepreneur, you must be incredibly busy-what does a typical day in your life look like?MP: As a fitness entrepreneur, I live, sleep, and breathe fitness. It%u2019s in my blood!Most days I usually get up around 5 or 6 am. First thing in the morning-I wake up, make some breakfast and feed my family. Then I walk my dogs to get them up and moving. After I walk my dogs, I then go to the gym to train myself. After my workout, I take a shower to get ready for my day. I train 4 clients back to back and then go to lunch. At lunch I return emails and run a few errands. After lunch break, I train 4 more clients. After I train my client%u2019s, then I come home to cook dinner for my family. After dinner I return emails, write some training programs, and pick up around the house. Then it is time to decompress. I like to meditate, read a self-help book, or watch a TV show. After that it%u2019s lights out and back to the grind the next day. On weekends I usually do events with family and friends. I really enjoy my downtime because I work so hard and am always on the go. But, sometimes I give posing seminars to the competition girls I train or I have a modeling job. Life is busy, but I wouldn%u2019t have it any other way. I love my life!FMM: Describe the most interesting model shoot you have ever done.MP: My most interesting modeling shoot was 7 years ago when I was doing this lagoon bikini scene in Florida for this fitness magazine. The photographer kept demanding I be in the middle of this lagoon area for %u201cthe shot.%u201d He said it was shallow and I could easily walk out there with my flip flops. I was hesitant because the water was gross and murky. It was very questionable. As soon as I put a foot in the dark stagnant water, all these crabs came out of the water like spiders. It looked like a sci-fi scene out of movie. We all screamed and ran far away from that area. You can say we never got the shot! FMM: Who is your hero?MP: I have many heroes in life for different areas in my life. They change from goal to goal. One person who stands out and inspires me to live every day is my husband. I didn%u2019t grow up in the best environment and had the worst role models for parents, and have been in some very bad relationships and friendships. I was at a point where I lost faith in humanity. I have been through some trying times growing up. Then one day I met my husband, and he showed me how to live
