25 Things! Anna Di Gregorio

Anna has been a devoted Lither since she started taking classes in September 2011. Not one to take it slow, she immediately challenged herself to a 12-week, 6-days-a-week, Lithe commitment which she recently completed on April 10th. As a result, Anna’s body has changed immensely, and she’s never felt stronger or more appreciative of it. In this first 25 Things profile of a Lithe client, Anna shares a little more about herself.

 

1. I’m the oldest of 3 girls. We’re the first generation born in the US. Both my parents are from Italy, and the rest of my extended family still lives there.
2. With my background comes mad skills in the kitchen. In my family, we make our own tomato sauce (not gravy! gravy is brown and you put it on turkey), homemade wine, and sausage.
3. Italian was my first language.
4. When I eat chocolate, Hershey Kisses (Special Dark), I have to eat them in 3’s. The first one I shove in my mouth because I just can’t wait to eat it, the 2nd one I actually taste, and the 3rd I really savor.
5. I’m known for saying, “That’s Absurd!”
6. I’m the Director of Marketing for the concessions program (Philadelphia Marketplace Food & Shops) at the Philadelphia International Airport, although I love fashion and hope to one day own a clothing boutique.
7. I’m a freak over chapstick--I have to have 3 at all times--one in my purse, one by my bed (on my nightstand, to put on before I go to sleep), and one in my car.
8. I’ve always wanted to go to Fiji and hike the rainforest. I love to travel and would love to have a job for the Travel Channel so I can visit amazing places and get paid for it!
9. Committed to the Lithe philosophy of being healthy inside and out, I try REALLY hard to eat healthy most of the time, but I do cheat. I have a weakness for french fries, especially from Chick-Fil-A.
10. I have a fear of suffocation/drowning. I think it would be one of the worst ways to die.
11. One word to define me= reliable
12. I only play the mega millions once the jackpot hits at least $100 million; otherwise, it’s just not worth it!
13. I love to drive fast. I’m always in the left lane and if you’re not going 80+, you should get out of my way.
14. I love to laugh at people falling down (I know that sounds mean!) Sometimes, I YouTube videos of people falling down to get my fix.
15. My biggest pet peeve is when people don’t follow up or return your phone call/text.
16. One of my favorite foods is sushi. I can out eat everyone at the table, which makes me think I could enter some type of eating contest.
17. I hate being late. I’m always either on-time or 5 min early.    
18. I really want to learn how to cook Asian Cuisine.
19. I hate watching scary movies where people are brutally murdered or hurt. It makes me so paranoid that the same things will happen to me.
20. I love a clean house, but cleaning puts me in a terrible mood.
21. I over think and over analyze almost everything, including writing 25 things about myself. It gives me gray hair.
22. I’m always wearing my sunglasses (outside/driving/even if it’s cloudy). So much so, that my sisters have nicknamed me Bono.
23. I have the best neighbors! They are ancient, old and dead. I live across the street from the oldest cemetery in Philadelphia.
24. I have a love for birds and antique birdcages. I think it’s the idea of flight or being free that attracts me to them.
25. I’m the Lithe publicist Lauren has no idea she hired. Everyday, on the streets of Philadelphia, I tell anyone and everyone who will listen about Lithe. Sumos, liberties, bands, method breathing…

 

I couldn’t agree more about the gravy thing. Where I come from, gravy is brown (or white). When I first moved to Philadelphia and was asked if I wanted gravy on my spaghetti, I was utterly confused (but also slightly intrigued as gravy does make everything better). Also, I may have to challenge Anna to a sushi eat-off. If it’s wrapped in seaweed, and put it in front of me, I will eat it. And although, I can’t understand her fascination with birds (those beady-eyed creatures just creep me out), I certainly get her obsession with Lithe Method. Anna is the paragon of Lithe commitment. A self-imposed 12-week challenge, at 6 days each week?? I did 4 weeks at 5 times a week, and I thought I was cool. Hats off to you lady!

 

See you in class!

You picked a great client to profile first! Anna is a sweetheart with an amazing personality. I have a feeling I know where #15 on her list comes from. Hope to see you in class soon, Anna!
