One way that Jessie ensures she and her family are eating healthy is by cooking. "We eat dinner every day between 5 and 5:30 p.m," she told Women’s Health. "We get creative." Dinners, like pasta, chicken tacos, gumbo, or lasagna, are made from scratch. Jessie doesn’t count calories. "When you're cooking at home and you know what you're putting in your food, I don't think you have to be that strict," she said. "I don't always think it needs to be grilled chicken over greens. A lot of times I make my homemade pasta so I know what's going in the pasta. It's not that challenging and it's worth it."

5. She Maintains Balance – Most of the Times

"There are some weeks when I'm following more of a strict diet because I have something coming up. But, you know, for the most part, I'm always enjoying food and I always say 'everything in moderation' on a day-to-day basis,” she told Women's Health about her approach to balance.

6. She Works Out

Obviously, Jessie is devoted to exercise. Her form of choice? Strength training.

Her typical workout session starts with 30 seconds of jump rope, continuing on to high-knee running, ankle grabs, high kicks, lunges and lateral lunges, spinal rotations, and tension squats. Next up? Overhead squats with resistance bands, medicine ball slams and tosses, medicine ball chest passes, medicine ball sit-up tosses, resistance band pulls, deadlifts, step-down exercises, weighted overhead presses, inverted rows, bent over kettlebell rows, weight plate steering wheel exercises, dumbbell rotations, and box jumps.
