"Is there a reason........ ?"

Does there seem to be a reason why you are where you are right now?  Do you often wonder what you could have done differently that you might or could be in a better place??  Well, I've asked myself these questions .. time and time again.. and what I always end up with is
"CONSISTENCY"..

Thats right folks .. as much as I hate to admit it .. "Consistency is the KEY".. whether we like it our not .. the "sticktoitiveness" .. the creating of a routine .. the remaining true to your plan.. and without consistency.. well kids.. its really just not gonna work.. no matter how ya slice it ..

 I wish there was a better, easier.. or just a plain more direct solution.. but you just cant make it any easier.. Its just black and white..CONSISTENCY.. so when you find yourself looking for the reason why maybe something might not be working.. just stick to your plan.. be diligent and BE CONSISTENT ..

A Hui Hou!!! 

There's a journey ahead......

Okay... so here goes.... I've decided to journal my way to fitness... or like in my title from "Fat..haha!!!  I am the "Healthy Haole" which if your wonderin... "haole" in Hawaiian means white person or caucasian as opposed to our local folks here in Hawaii..  and I plan on journaling my journey to fabulous fitness...

 Okay so things aren't really this BAD... but in my mind... looking at all the clothes I have that there is no way I can even put my leg in up to my knees... well let just say I can't continue on this way.... sooooo

As I continue my journey looking for interesting things to sink my teeth into that would recreate my health and fitness ..(seems like everything we do these days involve food or eating) I have prayed and searched for the best guidance for my fitness journey and developing a business where I can help others as well.. All my prayers seem to be answered .. "Diane, use whats in front of you!"  soo am recreating myself through the company I have had in my mind all along.. BeachBody...  and its been in right in front of me for quite sometime!... There are so many things to explore here..!!! Personally, I've really never had a problem with my weight... till about 7 years ago... and then I finally and really gave up.. :(  Its really frustrating getting older and seeing your body literally change before your eyes...) but I know I can do this and finally feel excited to try clothes on and not develop and immediate rash when I open my bathing suit drawer..

So back to BeachBody... we also have a great product called Shakeology .  Shakeology is a vitamin/protein drink that you drink each day as either a meal replacement or as a snack... but you should have it once a day.  There are four great flavors... Chocolate, Greenberry, Tropical Strawberry (vegan) and new Vanilla!! .. the weird thing is that I really like the Greenberry best!!.. and if you don't look at it like a HAVE TO kind of thing and let it become a part of your daily routine.. you'll be AMAZED at your results... !!


I also have indulged in their Yoga Booty Ballet, Tai Cheng and last but not least HipHop Abs.. Shaun T... well lets just say he makes the workout quick!!

I have always been involved with dance, martial arts, and yoga and really enjoy these workouts..!!! So much fun!!

My biggest obstacle has ALWAYS been self discipline.. I guess since I really never had to worry about "staying fit" .. all my normal activities kept me in great shape.. now I must get back into a really healthy way of life... and thats really the truth.  It really has to be a WAY OF LIFE... and a change in your lifestyle.  I think that this is the most difficult concept to grasp.  


I have a really great friend that ALWAYS encourages me... and gives me pep talks, positive texts with ways to add exercise to my daily life.  I am so grateful to her for her continued positive influence in my life... She is a true testimony to discipline and health... even after having twins... and looking like she just had a big meal when she was ready to deliver. !!  She never wavers .. and always stays on her path!!  I am secretly jealous... but so glad she and I have become great friends... I love you LT!!! You're the best..

So stay tuned ... for more insights and ideas on my journey to fitness and wellness... I'll be here to keep you posted... thanks for listening..


 Oh yea....


I invite you to click on my website listed above and check things out for yourself... believe me it really can't hurt!!! 

Aloha & A Hui Hou.... 

I thought for a very long time.... that I just had dreams and goals in my mind and thought about them alot .. but thats where it ended.. IN MY HEAD...  Like I mentioned before.. I researched and investigated for a very long time before I finally found my where I needed to be.  For the first time in a very long time .. I've finally believe that my life can have meaning and purpose and its COMPLETELY POSSIBLE!!!  I've only been active for less than a week.. but have already learned so many things about myself, met so many people that have also made great changes in their lives.. and helped others to do the same.  I'm excited for new and exciting things and I'm ready to help others find their purpose too!!

Aloha & A Hui Hou!! 

Ok soo ... it took me awhile... but I'm back... and I'm done with kidding myself and rationalizing... I've literally tried sooo many different things.. from diet pills, diet teas, potions, lotions, wraps .. you name it.. I've tried it.. Who am I kidding REALLY??  There's just no two ways about this ... I've rationalized, dramatized, criticized, and even tried hypnotizing!!  Its just so PLAIN AND SIMPLE.. and I've been making things soo complicated... I have no idea what I was trying to find, how to get my mind, body and soul back... other than the easy way out.. well friends... THERE IS NO SUCH THING... 

I JUST HAVE TO DO THE WORK... 
DECIDE, COMMIT, SUCCEED... 
So.. if you've been feeling in a rut, need encouragement, motivation, determination... come join me in my journey..  a journey that you wont regret.. 


Alo)(a... and A Hui Hou... 

Always somethin new!!!

There is ALWAYS somethin new...  Its really hard to keep up... 

Yes, I'm still walking... and still contemplating the marathon... I do really want to do it ... but I know it DEFINITELY will be quite an undertaking.. but NOT IMPOSSIBLE.... 

I've always liked dance... as early as elementary school.. loved ballet... so I've reverted to some exercises I used to do and some New York City Ballet work outs.. it seems to be a little better on my joints.. and also .. am awaiting my Fluidity Bar!!  It is definitely a great mix of exercise.. 

During this time of regrouping ... and getting back into "better" shape.. I've also found another great company ... that I have been doing some indepth research on .. as their products have AWESOME qualities, benefits healthfully and financially... looking to get started with this in the near future... soo... please keep in touch for further exciting details..  

Aloha & A Hui Hou!!!

So here it is !!!  I have been invited to run/walk the Honolulu Marathon... December 2013... !!!  Yea, okay .. you can stop laughing now.. !!  Let me explain.  While yes, I understand your laughter and skepticism... and I know when I tell my family ... they're gonna think I'm nuts !!  I am pretty much out of shape.. but have been really working towards the "best shape I can be in" even with my uncooperative knees... but you know what... I never thought in a million years I would have a 2nd Degree Black Belt in TaeKwonDo either.. but I did it!!  So I'm going to do my research.. and really actually consider this.  I really need a goal ... to work towards.  

So I think I just might try this... !!!  I am going to record my thoughts, trials and tribulations.. through this blog.!!  Everything healthy here, you know.. at "Healthy Haole!!"  maybe I should change this to "Crazy Haole!!" Lol!!  

Now for the mental and physical preparation, but most importantly.. PRAYER and LOTS OF IT!!  They say its all about being consistent which... well.. lets just say its not my strong suit.. :( RIGHT NOW..

I am convinced that consistency and focus in our lives are probably the two most important qualities to posses.. and if we are not already pretty strong in these areas... I've found that we better make it a point to do so.. ya know what I mean??    I guess this would also fall under the same category as discipline, no??  So, as with raising children... getting and then keeping in shape also follows along completely with this topic of conversation of being consistent, focus and discipline.. There are so many things sooo very intriguing and interesting it makes things so very difficult to stay on track.. But one thing about me I am very stubborn and I really need to use that quality to my advantage FOR SURE! Wish me luck!!! 

So until next time... 

Aloha & A Hui Hou!!!
