Healthy Help

Live Well 360

If you're anything like me, you vowed to put your health first in 2012.  The start of the new year brings a clean slate (thank goodness after all those holiday meals). And, as you may know, I'm a planner.  Unless it says workout in my calendar, it aint happening.  If I plan gym time and the healthy meal I'll eat for dinner in my day/week, I'm more likely to stick with this Health First concept.

That being said, I want to give you a couple tools that'll help you with your fitness goals. 

First, the ultimate gym bag

Let me introdcuce you to the Core bag.  There are now a few variations on size and color, but overall, it's awesome.  Notice the shoe compartment which I think is ingenious and should be standard on every gym bag.  Even if you wear your shoes to the gym, you can stick your dirty clothes in there after your workout...cause that compartment is vented!  Also, it has a bazillion pockets to hold more things like your keys, wallet, phone, binky, extra bottle, that weird onesie that got stuck to the inside of your hoodie...you know..."more things."  It's a shoulder strap too since backpacks are apparently the devil for your back. But my favorite part is the lining. 

It's inspiring!! I am a sucker for inspiring. I literally have a picture of my Hubs and daughter on my phone for my workouts.  Whenever I want to give up, I look at them, remember I'm doing this to live a longer healthier life and continuing moving that booty. 

Second, the Eat Well 360 Diet and Cookbook

I've been following Sheila's recipes for a few years now.  If she can make oatmeal enticing, then she can pretty much make anything taste delicious.  One thing I've learned from Whole Foods is that there are healthy alternatives to your very favorite foods.  Sheila is an expert at this.  She once made coconut donuts that were healthy. DONUTS!  And p.s. - they're delicious.

The cookbook has over a hundred recipes for every meal (including dessert) but the best part is the resource manual.  It has a ton of helpful tips and useful knowledge that led Miss Sheila and her husband to their current extremely healthy bodies. (see below)

 When I met Ryan, I had NO idea he used to be a six pack of beer a night kinda guy.  I mean, look at him. You'd never guess that, right?  So it's pretty damn inspiring. But I just love their recipes because they're delicious.  I'm Hawaiian, I love to eat good food. So this book, is right up my alley.

Cheers to getting fit in 2012!!!!

Want more info or motivation? Let me know! I'm happy to help. 

**The opinions above are that of my own.  I am an affiliate of Live Well 360 but also a firm supporter of their products.  Sheila and Ryan are also friends of mine, some of the best people you'll meet.  I was fortunate enough to know them in the planning stages of their very first Core bag and am so excited to see their ideas blossom and continue to grow.  And also, those donuts changed my life.
