Most of us equate the idea of beginning and maintaining a healthy lifestyle with lots of bland foods and loose fitting clothes. I made the mistake a lot of us make by putting my life on hold until I was at my ideal weight. Now I understand that we don’t need to reach a magical number before we can start enjoying our life and bring some fun into our food, wardrobe and workout.<\/p>\n

My friend Beth has been a huge influence in my life. The sassy senior lives a full and happy life and her secret is simple, she lives as if she resided in a spa.<\/p>\n

For starters, Beth eats lean and fresh foods served on white plates. The colorful blend of spring lettuce with a variety of chopped vegetables and a piece of mahi begs to be eaten. Lunch is served with a slice of whole grain bread loaded with bits of nuts and seeds. Dessert is a tiny ramekin with one scoop of vanilla bean ice cream and fresh raspberries. A glistening glass filled with ice, sparkling water and a thin slice of lime transport you out of her tiny 1920s bungalow and to a fabulous expensive resort.<\/p>\n

Her influence is evident in not just what I eat but also in my workout. Gone are the frumpy clothes. I wear body conscious clothes that are not just stylish but also conducive to my workout. No more baggy shorts to slow me down when I run, or loose t-shirts that keep me from seeing my biceps when I lift that dumbbell. I now dress for success.<\/p>\n

The thing that appeals most to me about Beth\u2019s lifestyle is how simple and serene it is in spite of her busy life that is filled with grandkids and travel.<\/p>\n

A healthy lifestyle does not have to be costly or complicated. It can be as simple as just keeping all you consume lean while serving it beautifully for yourself.<\/p>\n
