I’m very excited for the Third Annual Healthy Living Summit being held in Philadelphia this year!
My first trip to Philadelphia, any suggestions on great places to visit?
For those of you wondering, this Summit is for bloggers and non-bloggers who are living/seeking a balanced lifestyle.
I rushed home, from my Monday workout, to purchase a ticket!
Last year the Summit was held in Chicago….what a blast and learning experience.
I enjoyed making connections with bloggers all over the globe!
It’s about community and encouraging each other to live a healthy lifestyle.
Meeting people who are passionate about the same interests.
If you are attending the Summit….Let’s Connect!
Take a PEAK at last years Healthy Living Summit…

]]>The food pyramid has been around since 1992, and this month the USDA came out with a new icon. I personally think this new icon is very simple and clear; showing an example of portion control and how much of each nutrient we should be consuming.
This is the new food plate released for June 2011 by the USDA.
More information is available at the Choose My Plate website! The website has lots of information on food groups, preparing healthy meals, tips and interactive tools.
Did the food pyramid confuse you? What do you think of the new icon?

My day started with a delicious Vega Choc-a-lot Blueberry Smoothie.
I added frozen organic blueberries to the mix, to get my daily fruit on! The mix calls for water but I’m all for adding almond milk to my smoothies.
The Vega shake and go is from my HLS swag bag. love.love.love.
Angela’s Empower Glow Bar….amazing. I’ve never tasted a granola bar like this one before. I need to order this bar asap!
Still hungry, I couldn’t help but eat cereal with chia seeds and granola added in.
Currently working my pedometer from my HLS sponsor, planning to count my steps today. I know I do more sitting than walking during the work week but I’d like to see exactly how many steps during my 8-5 office job, I’m getting in.
Recap time from the Healthy Living Summit!!
”Cooking Ethical Meals on the Cheap” was a great presentation by Evan of Food Makes Fun Fuel and Lin from Tea Time with Lin.
Now, that I’m back to eating meat occassionally, I’m trying to incorporate more organic, cage free and grass fed products in my life.
Here are some of my notes from the session.
