Who doesn't love chocolate or better yet brownies? Living a healthy lifestyle through diet and fitness is a must, but we all need a little sweet treat from time to time. As you may have caught on from reading my blog, I love to bake from scratch. I am also a chocoholic! Ghirardelli Chocolate is by far one of my favorites, so when I found their Sweet Ground Chocolate and Cocoa I was in heaven. Perfect for baking brownies or just a cup of hot chocolate. As usual, I have put a healthy spin to the recipe. Enjoy!

Ingredients:
2 eggs (1/2 Cup Egg Whites)
3/4 Cup of Sugar
1 tsp. Vanilla Extract
1/2 cup Butter, melted
3/4 cup Ghirardelli Sweet Ground Chocolate and Cocoa Powder
2/3 cup All-Purpose Flour (Soy Flour for Gluten Free)
1/4 tsp. Baking Powder
1/4 tsp. Salt
1 Cup Walnut (Optional)
½ Cup Chocolate Chips (Optional)

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Using a spoon, stir the eggs with the sugar; add the vanilla and stir in the butter. Sift chocolate powder with the flour, baking powder and salt. Stir flour mixture into the egg mixture. Add the nuts (if using) and chocolate chips. Spread in a greased 8 inch square pan. Bake 20-25 minutes. Let cool completely. Enjoy!

Baking Tips:
Line your pan with well-greased or Reynolds “Release” foil or parchment paper. This will allow you to lift your brownies right out of the pan. Less of a mess, easy and ready to serve!

Use a mini muffin pan to make small brownie bits. Perfect for the kids, parties, to take to the office and more.

How Are You Staying Socially Fit?

With our crazy busy lives, the rapid innovation of technology and the Internet, how are you staying socially fit? We all make excuses to why we skipped our morning workout session, don't have time to join a coed softball team, train to run a half marathon; and the list goes on. We are inundated with advertisements, news, and all kinds of various content telling us what is the "latest and greatest" health trend on a min by min basis. How could we possibly filter through all the "noise" or content to see what is a correct fit for our own bodies and lifestyle? Being the Online Marketing Guru I am, I know first hand that Social Media and Social Networking sites can be a dime-a-dozen, overwhelming and how do you know which one is right for you? Lucky for you, I have done the research!

I recently had the pleasure of sitting down with Scott Bowen, Founder of FitTogether.com and Aimee Sando, Founder of TownFit.com. Both web platforms were founded and tested locally here in San Diego, Ca.

FitTogether.com is a Fitness Social Networking site that brings the fitness community closer together; helping you meet activity partners in and around your area to help you stay active and fit. Whether you are looking for fitness groups to train with, fitness classes to take, a personal fitness trainer to whip you into shape, a healing arts professional or even a place for online fitness dating, FitTogether.com provides all.

FitTogether.com also has fitness blog and fitness chat forums for members to communicate with each other and share ideas on training methods, weight loss tips, dieting advice, favorite mountain bike trails and surf spots. Fitness social networking is a great way to help you stay motivated in your quest to being in the best shape you can possibly be in through the use of fitness partners and the exercise buddy system. You can create a detailed profile with images, videos, add your other social profiles, write blogs and more. You can connect with other member and stay connected through groups, instant messaging or video chat. Whether you are someone looking to live a healthier lifestyle, a fitness enthusiast or fitness professional, FitTogether.com is a great fitness resource, way to stay socially fit and connected to others who have the same end fitness/health goals as you!

TownFit.com is a Social Networking site that connects trainers to current and potential clients.

A trainer's client can write testimonials on their customized page that help assist prospect clients when looking for a trainer that is right for them.

TownFit.com also helps busy professionals find a trainer in their area that meets their unique needs. This Social Web platform  helps make one-on-one, in person personal training convenient and affordable. TownFit.com currently has over 100 independent trainers in the San Diego and Los Angeles area with their own private, boutique training studios. “TownFit’s goal is to help busy professionals put a little fitness in their day,” said Aimee Sando, founder. “With my busy schedule, I know firsthand the advantages of working out with a personal trainer, but many independent trainers lack online tools to effectively meet the desires of their clients. Finding a good trainer that works well with your personality and time constraints can be overwhelming but with TownFit it does not have to be. The home page allows you find a trainer that matches your training type, location and calendar availability preferences. Search results are comprised of innovative and informative trainer profiles that help you get a feel for each trainer before you choose to connect with one for an introductory workout or assessment.”

Regardless of your fitness and health goals, using resources like FitTogether.com and TownFit.com can help you stay active and socially fit!
