Lisa.MPH:

What are you doing for the holidays? fortunately, both of our families live in louisville, for the most part. we spend christmas eve with my family and then christmas morning we wake up, exchange gifts, head to my parents for "santa" gifts and then a huge breakfast complete with mimosas and holiday crackers. then we head to kyle's parents, open "santa" gifts, head home and get cleaned up, head back to his parents house for his mom's side of the family and then head to his granny's house for his dad's side of the family. it's nuts!

What do you do for a living? my actual title is fun, recognition and marketing specialist. i work for ufpc, which is the purchasing co-op for Yum! Brands, Inc. I am the resident event planner (fun), run all three of our recognition programs (recognition, obvs), and handle all the marketing/advertising for three of our departments. but i'm in HR. go figure. In my spare time, I am also a personal trainer and I teach women's only fitness boot camp classes.

What are you looking forward to most in 2010? hmmm, our honeymoon? we haven't taken it yet since we were actually married in the virgin islands and then came home to have a reception in louisville one month later. i think we are going in march. and i need it. badly! 2009 was crazy - we got married, bought a new house, etc so there were a lot of changes. i looking forward to a peaceful 2010.

Bonus question: why are your dogs so cute? ugh. great question! because i have great taste? LOL. but seriously, they're precious, right?

yes, i was born and raised here! but - i have to say - i have been all over the US and other parts of the world and have never found another city that i would rather be. i have tons of cities i love to visit, but louisville is the place for me.

What are your favorite ways to spice up a ho-hum workout routine?

Do you use a personal trainer?

What's the best meal you cook?

spicing up a workout routine: try something new! a new class will always challenge you. my newest obsession is spinning. can't get enough. pick a new weight machine or exercise to try out each week. women tend to do a ton of cardio and not much strength training - but it's just as important. that's how you get to be "skinny fat." also - take a friend. working out with a partner tends to push you and challenge you in ways you normally wouldn't be.

I do not work out with a personal trainer, since I am one...I don't think I should pay for that! But, I do work out with the owner of the company I train for sometimes, because he does tend to push me further than I push myself, and I need a spotter when weight training.

the best meal i cook? hmmm...i tend to cook things that are quick, easy and lowfat, read: kind of boring! probably mexican lasagna.
