I always love hearing about how couples motivate each other to get healthy, but now more than ever since it's Valentine's Day [1]. LeAnn Rhimes recently told Fitness [2] magazine that her husband was the driving force behind finally being able to get healthy.
Here are highlights [3]:
"I wasn't taking care of my health. I was getting out of breath in the middle of the show . . . and sometimes I was getting really sick." The solution came with the emotional stability provided by her husband Dean — who also provided her something more: a workout partner. "[Dean and I] both push each other to be better."
LeAnn definitely eats healthy, too. To see what an average day of eating looks like for her just .
I usually eat a bowl of oatmeal with agave nectar, dried cherries, and walnuts in the morning. I have a protein shake after the gym, then grilled chicken, a whole-wheat pita, and humus for lunch.
Come afternoon there's another snack, then, for dinner, I might have trout with spinach sautéed in garlic and olive oil and a piece of dark chocolate for dessert.
