Women's Health Well-Thy Weekend + BIG Giveaway

Happy Wednesday! Hope everyone is surviving the week. Last weekend, two girlfriends and I were lucky enough to attend Women's Health magazines first annual well-thy house in Montauk. The event was held in conjunction with their annual Party Under the Stars Run10Feed10 kick off. 

[ Schedule for the day ]

Naturally, because I was leading this, we were there a little early. We grabbed some coffee and breakfast treats and relaxed in one of the most serene backyards I have ever been in. Each session was about a half hour long and at 10 AM began yoga with celebrity yogi Mandy Ingber. She has a great personality and I highly recommend taking a class.

Before we headed to the pool area to hear Keri Glassman (not only a celebrity RDN but also the woman who certified me to be a nutritionist!) I got to meet her! Granted I snuck into a room I'm not quite sure I had access to (the publicist in me) and had a nice chat. I'm excited for you to see what's to come. Lips zipped for now!

Keri talked about cleanses and how while having a green juice is great, it is possible to cleanse with food. Most times when people attempt a juice cleanse they are setting themselves up for failure. Instead, cleansing with real solid food that has nutrients and calories can set you up for success. It's the foundation for a healthy diet!

Next we got our asses kicked. Literally. Heidi Powell, one of the hosts of Extreme Weight Loss, took us through her Bikini Booty Mission workout. Helloooo burpees and squats. It was hot, we sweat and we looked great at the event that night.

I have to be honest, I tuned out a little during the gardening demo because I've never had a green thumb but I do love love the pick-your-own-herbs-from-the-backyard concept. Jeff Dawson from Golden Door gave the talk on gardening and right before a wonderful farm-to-table lunch created by Greg Frey Jr. of Golden Door, he demo'd a few things and shared how to create a welcoming aroma right before guests arrive. 

I can't get over how great the lunch was, from the grilled chicken to the corn salad to the quinoa to the little dessert.

Lastly, James Houston, founder of MindSpaceDesign, talked about creating a healthy home. As a publicist, when he said "if you wouldn't put those headlines on your fridge, they got to go" resonated with me and reminded me to be mindful when pitching and make sure everything is positive. 

Afterwards it was time to head home and prep for the night event. But not before getting a goody bag loaded with healthy treats. 

Guess what? We're giving you an opportunity to win one! Additionally, it will come with a free 1.5 hour nutrition counseling service courtesy of yours truly, Nutrition By Lynette.

To wrap up the day (and this post) we partied under the stars with new and old friends. I saw Keri and also Kiley who I hadn't seen in a while. hung out with some of the girls from the day event and just had a great evening. 

Thanks again to Lindsey and Women's Health for having us!
