Summer is just flying by, and as
incredible as that is, the sting is lessened by knowing that Pathfinder Produce
offers the best summer flavors at its weekly fresh fruits and veggies market,
each Thursday from 1 to 5 p.m. at the Village Commons at Pathfinder
Village. Stop by this week to purchase healthy items that can make your
summer fun even better!
Our two new hoop houses have been
ordered, and we’re grateful for the partnerships that we’ve forged with
regional foundations that will allow us to expand on our growing capabilities
here at Pathfinder. Stay tuned for more information on our hoop houses
and agriculture programs.
This week’s blog is from Maura
Iorio, our Director of Education at Pathfinder School, who guides our students
each day in making healthy choices and keeping fit. As a busy educator,
and an even busier community volunteer and mom, she offers some advice on
staying organized!

With smartphones taking over our daily lives, there seems to
be an app for just about everything, especially when it comes to your health.
Counting calories? Try MyFitnessPal. Want to log your weekly
workouts? Give Runkeeper or Map My Run a spin! But
with technology becoming so ingrained in our culture, there are many who find
it more satisfying to take a step back and track things the old fashioned way
(with a modern twist)—Bullet
Journaling.
For those who are unfamiliar with the concept, it is a quick
and easy way to organize your life, track your goals, and remain motivated. The
best part? Your journal can become as creative as you want it to be! Check out this
article for beginners to see how to get started:
(Think of it as a more efficient way of keeping a ‘to do
list’ that uses specific symbols and organizational strategies so that you may
more efficiently track your progress through events and chores).
Although this type of journaling was designed with your
whole life in mind, many people have used it for meal planning, weight loss
goals, and fitting workouts throughout a busy week. Have you been wanting
to eat more fruits and veggies? Do you want to run a 5K for the first time?
Creating a chart in a Bullet Journal can help you stay on track and accomplish
your health goals! Check out the page ideas below for some inspiration, and
there are many websites
that offer insights into this great tool!
Happy Journaling!
Maura (and Lori)
