 Sign: Scorpio
Hometown: Toronto, Ontario
Claim to Fame: Fitness model, figure competitor, personal
trainer, and medical x-ray technologist – to name
a few hats she wears.
On her bedside table: Maggie’s got a couple on
the go. Tuesdays with Morrie: For One More Day, by Mitch
Albom (Hyperion, 2006), and All you need to be impossibly
French, A Witty Investigation into the Lives Lusts,
and Little Secrets of French Women, by Helen Frith Powell
(Plume, 2006).
On her iPod: “The question should be what don’t
I have on my iPod,” says Maggie. Depending on her
mood, she likes jazzy Dianna Krall to trance all-star
Armin Van Buren.
In her fridge: Nada. Maggie travels so much these days,
she’s emptied her fridge. “I don’t want
to come home to a nasty surprise,” she says.
Choice cheats: “I tend to crave chocolate and
pastries in the winter,” says Maggie. The summer’s
a little easier because it’s ice cream and she makes
her own made with egg whites and protein powder.
Her obstacle: “The lengths I go when I can’t
cook for myself add a major stress to my life,” she
says. “I can’t always be a hermit or have
my trusty cooler with me.”
Staying focused: Maggie believes it’s all about
choice. “I have a mission statement on my fridge
and I also write little notes to myself reminding me why
I choose to live my life this way.”
On her time: “I love every moment I can spend
with my nieces. They’re so smart and beautiful.”
Her new look: In 2001, Maggie donated two-and-a-half
feet of her hair to Wigs for Kids, a charity for ill children. “So
after six years of short hair, I got an itch to switch
it up, and I adore my new long hair.”
5 Things she can’t live without
1. Sigg Water Bottle: “A metal water bottle,” she
believes, “is a great deal better for you and for
the environment.”
2. Blackberry: “It’s always by my side with
my ever-changing schedule.”
3. iPod: “I need it in the gym.”
4. Book: “It’s a must when traveling.”
5. Chopsticks: “Everything just tastes better
with chopsticks.”
