The BellaBeat Leaf Health Tracker is in SA!! And I want one so badly.

The BellaBeat Leaf Health Tracker is here!

Before we chat about the awesome functionality of this device, can we please take a moment to appreciate its utter gorgeousness! I mean wow. The BellaBeat Leaf Health Tracker is totally stunning and does not look like a fitness tracker at all. To be honest, I would feel like a bit of a fool wearing your typical fitness tracker – I only picture super fit and slender people sporting those. But BellaBeat Leaf looks like jewellery. A beautiful piece of jewellery that comes in two designs (BellaBeat Leaf and Leaf Urban) and various colours.

But what makes this tracker truly amazing is the fact that it’s not just a fitness tracker. Nope. This device is a health tracker that allows for an holistic approach to keeping tabs on your health.

Leaf is a health tracker that tracks your activity, hydration levels, sleep patterns and your period! AND it can even predict stress and offers guided meditation.

The benefits that this device offers is SO much more than your average tracker:

ACTIVITY TRACKING: Track your steps taken, active minutes and calories burned.

SLEEP MONITORING: Monitor the duration and the quality of your sleep.

SMART ALARMS: Wake up each morning with a vibrating alarm, and stay active by setting an inactivity alert.

GUIDED MEDITATION : Discover relaxing meditation exercises that help you unwind.

STRESS PREDICTION : Learn how your lifestyle habits affect your stress sensitivity.

REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH: Get an overview of your monthly cycles and fertile days.

NO CHARGING: Leaf runs on a 6-month replaceable battery (coin battery).

VERSATILITY: Wear as a necklace, bracelet or a clip.

WIRELESS SYNCING: Sync wirelessly to your Leaf app. All the information syncs with the app by just tapping your Leaf – so no cables for charging or syncing.

I think everything you’ve read so far explains exactly why I want a Leaf. The benefits and features are amazing. And those of you who are familiar with my weight loss story know my struggles. But it isn’t just about losing weight anymore. It’s about my health. I want to be here for many years to come and I would love to have a Leaf help me focus more on my health and getting my butt into shape.

The Leaf retails for R2599 to R3249.

The BellaBeat Leaf Health Tracker is as beautiful on the outside as it is smart on the inside.

Happy shopping!

Just a quick recap… I am taking part in the Slender Challenge #8 sponsored by Health Renewal.

Why? Because I am fat again… but not for long!

The Slender Challenge: Weigh in #1

I had my first weigh in on Saturday morning and I am down 6.2kgs in 2 weeks.

I feel good. 10 weeks (and many, many kilo’s) to go. Stay tuned as I will give you an update every 2 weeks. Next weigh in is on 27/08.

Why the Slender Challenge?

I need to be pushed. I need to be kept an eye on. I need the support of others fighting the same battle. This is exactly what this challenge is giving me. Plus there’s a huge prize up for grabs.

Why the Body Renewal Weight Loss Program?

It is a medical weight loss program which specifically targets abnormal and resistant fat, which results in slimming and shaping of the body.
A highly professional team lead by a medical doctor assesses every patient.
In this consultation your medical history will be evaluated.
The doctor will then decide whether any blood tests are necessary.
A team of registered nurses supports each patient in their weight loss journey to ensure the best results are obtained.

The program is based on improving sensitivity to Leptin and has four components:

a low GI diet
Weight loss supplements / nutraceuticals in the form of capsules and powder,
a daily meal replacement with a low GI health shake
Daily injections of a lipotropic substance (HCG) that targets and releases abnormal fat in the body.

If the program is strictly adhered to patients lose between 8 to 10 kilograms a month for women, 10 to 15 kilograms a month for men, generally find it quite easy, and feel good with high energy levels. In fact, depressed patients have mood elevation as the Leptin levels “Kick in” 7 days into the program. Many of our patients have tried numerous other well-known diets but find this to be the magic one that actually works.

Head on over to the Slender Blog to see how the other contestants are doing.
