Ashley knows it’s important to stay healthy and make good choices the majority of the time, but she always leaves room for some of her favorites on occasion. That includes cheesy dishes, a glass of red wine with a little chocolate, and grits.
Ashley really prioritizes making healthy choices in her daily life, including what she puts on her plate. “What I put into my body has a huge impact on the results I get out of it,” she said. “Eating keeps my metabolism cranking.” Some of her favorites include fresh fish, lean chicken, and plenty of vegetables like spaghetti squash and cauliflower. “These foods energize me for my workouts,” she said.
She prefers to start her day with her workout regimen. “To fit my workout into my day, I have to be out the door early,” she said. “That means I don’t have time to think about whether I’m tired or to come up with excuses. And I’ve found that when I exercise in the morning, I have a much more productive day. After I finish my workout, I feel as if I can conquer the world.”
It’s important to have a healthy relationship with health. “I think sometimes fitness and nutrition can become an obsession,” she said. “You become so used to pushing and pushing and pushing that you don’t realize that you’ve pushed too far. It’s like an addiction, really. You’ve got to know that it’s great, but it’s making sure it’s part of your life, not your entire life.”
Whenever she can, Ashley really enjoys spending time soaking in the fresh air and sunshine. Whether it’s a full body workout through surfing or an intense hike, she loves being outside. “Getting outdoors is so refreshing to me,” she said. “It’s a combination of the exercise, soaking up my surroundings, and clearing my mind. It’s my happy place.”
