iP: Do you like to cook? If so, what are your favorite foods to make?
KS: I love being in the kitchen. For breakfast, there's always a lot of fresh fruits, like oranges and papayas. I use bananas and fresh or frozen fruit (blueberries, raspberries) in my protein shakes. I eat fresh vegetables daily. And I'm a big salad lover (arugula), with peppers (red and yellow), cucumbers, carrots. And never without an avocado. Whether for guacamole or sliced on a salad or sandwich, I love avocados. Breakfast is either oatmeal (steel cut) or cooked Kashi. And now I'm loving all the Kashi cold cereals, including the 7grain flakes. Egg-white omelets. What else? The other thing you'll find in my kitchen is a good stock of tea. I love Tazo brand herbal infusion calm. And Numi brand Jasmin green.
 
iP: When your children were small, how did you incorporate fitness into their lives?
KS: My children have always seen me being active, whether putting them in a baby jogger ad running to the park or attaching a bicycle seat onto my bike. As they got older, we would always find adventures on the weekends – family picnics after hiking, water sports after a bike ride. They were constantly being exposed to activities. And of course, their dad loves ball sports, getting them into soccer and baseball (not my favorite). Obviously this activity paid off. Kate just won the California State Championship in cross-country.
