parden the dust

Feeling like I need a change in  my branding.  Not sure if Under the Apple Tree really is what I want.  You may see different  names-branding pop up at the header, but it's still Under the Apple Tree.

I'm going to take the next few weeks and really think about my goals and what I want to portray with this blog and then I'll make a final deciding factor. I just want it to be a fitness foodies place of bliss where you can find ways to live a healthier lifestyle.

Here's one of the names:
I love running and that's one of the ways I enjoy staying in shape.  Yellow has so many wonderful meaning, but I'll keep it to the following: It's such a bright and cheery color, so it has really been a color of inspiration lately and  it helps to stimulate your thinking and memory and encourages communication.

LVME Recipes

I was inspired when i was writing up my mantra for my workout book and came up with a name and new template for the recipes I'll be adding for download.  They're going to be called LVME Recipes, which stands for Love Me; recipes that will love your body and make you feel good.

Here is an example of the new template.  They can be easily stored in an 8.5 x 11 binder.

it's the beginning of something wonderful

Today is my very first post for my new blog 'Under the Apple Tree' and I'm looking forward to watching how it blossoms with each new post and new friend it brings.

I'm still under construction so please be patient as I get things set up.

I'll be updating new pages with:
* recipes + downloadable 4x6 cards for easy printing and filing
* exercise flash cards (for easy routine planning)
*  learn about the benefits of different foods and download cards:
    - what's the best spices to help boost your metabolism
    - best foods for calcium, fiber, protein
 
and I have more ideas and plans coming.  Hopefully I can keep up with everything in my head.
Once I get things up and rolling I'll be updating about once a week, but I'm not sure exactly how long that will take.  If you have any questions or suggestions feel free to let me know.

also, at some point I'll be having someone design the blog so it has a more pleasing appeal and better
matches my logo, which was designed recently by Marie.
