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.

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 ...
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!

    I like the way you view this. I believe that you can do anything once you set your mind to it and commit. Believe and achieve. You can do this. Stay focused! emoticon

    Wanted to check in with you and see if you've improved on your tracking, since I got my FitBit it's easier but I am still struggling with the tracking here too

    g'day Ed!

    for Christmas, one of Geoff's gifts to me was an AeroGarden. we finally set it up a week ago with Petunia pods & i'm so impatient for them to come up! not really a fan of petunias but i do think it's fun to try & grow stuff in the middle of winter

    this has been a rough couple of weeks for my back ~ pain anywhere from a low of 2.5 {uncomfy but i can function} to over 8 & unable to do anything without tears streaming down my face. the prescription meds help somewhat. the main thing is that I'm not gonna use my back as an excuse not to exercise even if i have to build up at the speed of a turtle.

    Cisco & Casanova are fine. In fact today, Casanova caught a small lizard & then shared the eating of it with Cisco!

    Geoff is wanting me to go back to college this coming fall & i'm feeling really ambivalent about that, especially since we'd have to come back here in August rather than late October. We'll see.

    Love seeing your Friend Feed updates ~ you're doing wonderful
