Returning to Spark


After being away from Spark for a long time, I have decided to get back on again. Life has a way of getting in the way of your goals sometimes and I am guilty of that.

Towards my goals, I stopped drinking. Maybe an occasional cocktail sometimes but no more beers. It was odd. I just don't have that craving anymore.

After being away from Spark for a long time, I have decided to get back on again. Life has a way of getting in the way of your goals sometimes and I am guilty of that.

Towards my goals, I stopped drinking. Maybe an occasional cocktail sometimes but no more beers. It was odd. I just don't have that craving anymore.

I stopped adding things to my coffee. Straight up black is my new norm. I drank it that way when I first started and I just thought "I did it before, I can do it again." Took me a bit, but my taste buds accept it now.

Life is worth being healthy - and that is what I want (and NEED) to be!

    Thanks for the encouraging words. I always have homemade soup here, so quick and much better than store bought. You're right about the pureeing, it makes "cream" soup w/o the cream

    Thanks so much for your encouraging comment on my blog about alcohol. it helps to know that I'm not the only one who struggles with this. I do love my wine! But just ahve to give it up. I've played around with losing weight since April of last year but recently watched the movie Julie and Julia and created a project for myself that I called Project 182/50 (50 pounds in 182 days, which is 26 weeks). And I'm blogging about it. Frustrating thing is I gained weight after the first week because I drank too much, which caused me to eat too much!!! Hence when I fell off the wagonm this week, I got really frustrated so I'm not going to even drink a sip now until I achieve my goal of 50 lbs.

    Welcome to Spark and Spark Montana!!!

    It seems as if you are working into a good exercise program. All by yourself you seem to have hit upon one of the Spark ideas of taking small steps...

    Take a look at the Nutrition Tracker area and watch the instructional video. It really is a very good tool to help you learn healthy choices in your eating.

    Again, welcome to Spark Montana!!!
