We’re more than half way through the first month of 2014. How are you doing with your resolutions or goals? Are you still sticking with them or are you finding that you are starting to wane a bit?
Did any of your 2014 goals involve your health? Most people strive to do better in the new year when it comes to eating right and exercising. I know that is always a goal of mine each and every year. I can usually do well until the Summer months. Then I tend to dive into unhealthy eating and lack of exercise. I would rather stay inside with the AC cranked at maximum levels rather than go outside.
Making better for you eating and snacking options doesn’t have to be bland and boring. You can find great snack options right in your neighborhood Rite Aid store.
Rite Aid has a product line called available in most stores called Wholesome Goodness. You can find the products in the grocery section of the Rite Aid store.
Rite Aid feels that great tasting foods can be a better-for-you choice without breaking your budget.
Wholesome Goodness products include snacks, beverages, sauces, soups and more. I’ve been snacking on Wholesome Goodness Apple Cinnamon Omega Granola Bars. They are also available in Cranberry. They are totally delicious! One bar is only 120 calories and contain both Omega- 3 & 6 and 6g of whole grains. They are also low in sodium and are Trans Fat & Cholesterol Free.
My kids love granola bars, both for their school lunches and an afternoon snack. Unlike other granola bars the Wholesome Goodness Apple Cinnamon taste like they are homemade. I think that is what I enjoyed most about them.
Another snack treat I had the opportunity to try out is the Wholesome Goodness Mountain Trail Mix. The individually packaged trial mix is a good source of Fiber and Protein and makes a satisfying snack. It satisfied my desire for both sweet and salty. The mix contains raisins, peanuts, almonds, sunflower kernels and my favorite – Dark Chocolate!
Because they are individually packaged they make great on-the-go snacks. Keep one in your car, work desk, purse or backpack to fill you up until your next meal and to help keep you from heading off to the nearest vending machine. The next time I go to Rite Aid I’m getting a whole box for my husband to keep at work.

Best of all the Wholesome Goodness branded products are affordable and budge friendly.
Speaking of budget friendly, Rite Aid have a product line available called Renewal. Their Renewal Makeup Removing Toilettes are awesome. My teenage daughter uses them to remove her mascara, eyeliner and facial makeup. They also have available calming toilettes and cleansing ones that detoxify your skin and removes oil.
You can get a package of 10 Renewal Makeup Removing Toilettes for around $1.69. They come in a small package that is easy to toss into your purse or gym bag. My daughter keeps them in her backpack so she can remove her makeup before swimming or freshen up her face if she gets overheated and sweaty during gym.
Oh the gym. I remember gym classes at school. They used to be so boring. Personally I think schools should offer self defense classes in gym rather than silly things like jogging around the gym or puttering around on a scooter.
We have a gym in our condo complex. My kids use it a few times per week. Not me. I’m embarrassed to work out in front of other people due to my weight. I prefer to work out at home.
I wish we could have a treadmill but our condo is not big enough for one. Instead I have to rely on video tapes and small work out equipment.
Rite Aid has several pieces of work out equipment and other health related products by Denise Austin. The line is called Forever Fit by Denise Austin. The line includes weights, fitness balls, resistance bands and balance board to name a few.
We have the Forever Fit by Denise Austin resistance tube (it’s more like a resistance band). Me, my daughter and my son all use them. Not only can you get a great workout with them but they take up very little room. Living in a condo we are limited in space. The resistance bands fold up and can be tucked into a drawer, under the bed or hang them up in the closet. They are also great for men and women, young and old.
You don’t have to go from store to store to find your wellness needs. A visit to your neighborhood Rite Aid can yield many of the products you need to stay healthy and happy, without “breaking the bank”.
