fit n' the summer (m1-d4 + d5)

I was able to get so much done between yesterday and today, but it still feels like there is still a list a mile long.  Even now I feel rushed even though I've added several events to our fb page, created a twitter account and an about.me page to.  Craziness.  Lots and lots done just for this site to help keep you guys updated on what's going on.  Why so many pages??

facebook go
I added a group here for Harrisburg Fit Foodie Wannabes and Beyond.  It is a meetup.com group I created this year to bring locals together who want to surround themselves with other fit foodies and wannabe fit foodies so we can encourage each other to stay fit and healthy.   The only con is that fb groups are not as organized as meetup.com is, but that's their main focus so they can have a better layout to keep things organized and easy to access.  This is where twitter comes into play.

Twitter go
This was created to add specific updates
ie added events: hiking  in june + adam ricci walks {next 3 walks} + road trip to trader joes in july
ie updated: bio and training page {5k training program} + added a new goal setting called the lululemon way on my goals page.

about.me go
this is a really awesome and very simple site that allows you to write a quick bio and add all of your pages so when you meet people you can give them a card with this link on it and it will give them access to all of your social sites.

new name
I hope you guys are as excited about my new name as I am.  I've been playing with a few names the last few weeks, but none of them have created the overall design of this blog like happy tummy point does.  It actually came while I was writing a post and since then I've flown with it.  It's now the twitter handle and the basis of my blog here.  I've also decided that I will make no more changes to the name of this blog.  It will forever be known as the <i>happy tummy point</i> and I hope you guys like it as much as I do.  I'd love to hear what you guys think of the new name.  I hope to have the blog professional designed in the next 6 months and with that the image with the logo may change, but I'll leave that up to the professional.

fit summer update
yesterday it took a while, but I finally made it out for a run around 7pm and conquered a 1.61 mile run just past Kelker in just 16:02 with a 09:59 average minute mile.  It felt so good and I wasn't as tired as I was the other day.  After logging in my time I headed back toward the bridge, but stopped at the Garden to do a bootcamp workout from fitbook.  Today I'm going to take a rest day and go bowling with the boys.  


I was surprised to see my grandtastic score {this is my current best score}, though now that I found the perfect ball I'm confident that my score will stay above the 100s (as long as it's available when I go).  Plus, with a little practice, which should be easy  to do since the boys go  every Thursday. 

todays eats
breakfast: coffee + flax and omega waffles, 1/3 pear, 1/2 apple, 1/4 c p greek yogurt, blueberries

snack #1:  fiber one frosted mini wheats, soy milk, walnuts
lunch: chicken, red leaf lettuce, walnuts, salsa, cucumber wrap + grapes
snack #2: Ezekiel toast, pb, sunflower seeds, flax, chia seeds + 1c soy milk
dinner: chocolate protein shake+ 1/2 orange + 1/2 plain bagel

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.

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.
