Health has always been a passion of mine, especially women’s health. Whether it’s nutrition, fitness, mind or soul, I have a strong desire to learn and share as much as I possibly can! I have experienced an abundance of health issues over the years, and I have truly hit a point where I’m saying to myself; “Lyndsay, it’s time to take control of YOUR health!”

One of the biggest challenges I face with living a healthy lifestyle is that I am just so busy. I need a quick and simple way to nourish my body with something that tastes good. Lucky for me, I found thinkTHIN® lifestyle bars!

You may be asking, “What’s a lifestyle bar?”

It’s a bar that goes beyond diet or weight loss product; it delivers energy anytime, anywhere, so women can feel positive about their food choices! thinkThin® bars have 20 grams of protein and 0 grams of sugar making it easy to use as a post-workout snack or a meal replacement or just a quick energy-boost solution. The bars are designed for women who care about quality products that fit their needs. For my busy and on-the-go lifestyle, I am able to get the solid nutrition I need, without sacrificing taste and quality.

Single mother of two, Lizanne Falsetto came up with the idea for thinkThin® when she needed nutritious food on-the-go. The company is a passionate supporter of health through nutrition. Today, thinkThin® products are sold in grocery and health food stores nationwide.

It’s incredibly important that I live a healthy, active and positive lifestyle. It’s not an accident my blog is called The Balanced Brunette – my goal is to find a balance between all three.

My passions help set the tone to finding that balanced lifestyle:

• • Yoga
• • Natural and organic nutrition with food like thinkTHIN® bars as my snacks
• • Meditation
• • Reading
• • Positive personal development
• • Social events/gatherings
• • Get-togethers with my girl friends (usually spa or shopping trips)

These passions have given me a self-love approach to reaching my goal. I used to shame myself every chance I could get. I used negative words when I talked about myself – wrongly chastising myself for a terrible personality. I never truly believed I was worth anything.

But once I started practicing these passions, with a more active, positive, and healthy attitude, it all changed!

I love myself – my body, mind and soul. I appreciate the people in my life and tell them as often as I can. If I’m in a tough situation, I always look on the upside. I went from starving myself and feeling guilty about everything I ate, to fueling my body with healthy foods. I’ve learned to nourish my body instead of deprive it. Now, I feel better than I ever have!

I am definitely loving having my thinkTHIN® nutrition every day! I have the oatmeal (my fav: Madagascar Vanilla With Almond and Pecans) for breakfast, and a bar sometime throughout the day (have to say High Protein Chocolate Almond Coconut are SO good). If wellness is important to you, I highly recommend adding the thinkTHIN® line to your nutrition lifestyle! You won’t regret it.
