" Make sure that when you look at your plate, it’s a beautiful blank canvas to start with, and you want lots of color on there. You want to make sure you have whole grains and protein. It should not be beige in color; it should be green and bright red, and orange and yellow. " - Summer Sanders

" I’ve been barefoot most of my life: either flip flops or barefoot on the pool deck. Although you’d think that would make me a good candidate for barefoot running, that doesn’t work with me. " - Summer Sanders

" My healthiest habit is eating a healthy breakfast every morning. I never miss breakfast. As a busy mom, there will be days when I’m cruisin’ along and I’ll look at the clock and I haven’t eaten lunch. And I’ll run downstairs, and I’ll start shovelin’ stuff down the pie hole, and I’ll think, ‘That was no lunch at all.’ " - Summer Sanders

" You can’t go wrong with some nuts. The key word is ‘some.’ Eat them one at a time, not by the handful. " - Summer Sanders

" We try to live by the secret of sevens. A friend, who has been married for over 40 years, told us about this magic. Make and keep a date every seven days, take a night away alone, for yourself, every seven weeks, and schedule an adult-only vacation every seven months. " - Summer Sanders

" I worked at this place called Water World; it was a waterslide park. My brother and my dad framed my first paycheck from this place – which was for $0.00 dollars – because I didn’t even make enough to cover the cost of my uniform! " - Summer Sanders

" Swimming is great because there are levels of goals. First, when I was four, it was making it to the other end and overcoming the fear of standing up in front of everybody at a swim meet because I was such a shy kid. " - Summer Sanders
