You Can't Put A Limit Anything.

For Recovery, I Think It's A Big Deal To Eat Within A Half-hour After You Exercise. Otherwise I Just Try To Put Carbs Into My System Before I Swim And Then Load Up On The Protein After. I Don't Count Calories. Whether It's Sour Patch Kids Or Reese's Or A Bag Of Chips, If I Feel Like Eating It, I'm Going To Eat It.

I Grew Up Around The Pool With My Sisters. Both Of My Sisters Swam. I Was Always There. So I Thought, Why Not? My Mom Put Us In The Water For Water Safety, So We Were Comfortable In The Water In Case Anything Ever Happened. I Learned That Way, And Started Liking It More And More.

At A Very Young Age, I Wrote Down The Goals That I Had So I Could Always See What I Wanted To Accomplish. And I Would Look At That Goal Sheet And Think "i Still Want To Do This."so I'd Decide "i'm Not Quitting."

I Knew I Was Not A Failure In Any Way, And So Did Those Close To Me. It Doesn't Matter If You Fall Short; It Is Never A Failure To Go After Your Goals With Everything You've Got.

I Live A Pretty Conservative Life, So I Probably Really Haven't Done Anything Crazy.
