Sparkin'
I've been sparking. And I love it. There's a website called "Sparkpeople" and it's all about living a healthier lifestyle. They have free tools including a nutrition and exercise tracker, a place to record your goals (and not just "diet" goals, I have a goal to not allow myself to be interrupted by "non-important things" more than 12 times per hour.) There are forums and message boards, articles to read, recipes to try. And all kinds of lifestyle improvement supports.
You know what I like the most? Whenever you log in and enter information, or read an article, or participate in almost any way, you can earn points. Spark points. I LOVE that. I'm a sucker for the little pats on the back.
The more points you get, the bigger the "Spark Trophy" you have. I've moved up through several levels of Sparks. But my favorite is this one:
I'm a Spark! And btw, if you check it out and sign up, tell them you were referred by Mysterri, because I get 10 points for having my friends join.

Oh....sounds fun. I bet you're going to be getting some points!
ummm ..... you threw mw for a loop until I read a little farther. I always thought that if you "were sparkin'" it meant you were making out with someone. You know - like the old people in our lives have always said "back when we were sparkin' ......."
Sounds like fun Terri, Judi
Okay, Sparky, whatever floats your boat. I reckon I'm not much motivated by points.
Great idea!
[Grinning at 'back when we were sparkin' ...']
I'm thinking of you, and sending best-packed-boxes thoughts your way, Lovely Spark Lady!
Hey watch out....I'm one of those old peeps that used the word sparkin'~!! Welll I'm telling a lie! I just know that word was around when I was small but it's not actually of my generation. But close!
Well how kewl are you? The place you found sounds really neat and who doesn't like to get pats on the back? Now I'm going to have to check it out! I won't be able to fulfill any obligation conceerning good nutrition however! I eat what I want to but I'm hypoglycemic so I'm careful about carbs and sugar big time and I'm not fond of red meat but I don't love the "anything goes" burger once in awhile they have at Steak And Ale!! I have just about everything put on it-ummmm that sure sounds good since I haven't had breakfast yet.
Well congrats on being a Spark!! I think the whole thing sounds kewl to me and if I join I promise to give your credit so you can get more points!!
Great to know some people are so clever and do all the work for me-finding things like this b/c I would never have found it otherwise!
Have a great wk-end Sparky!
Oh I have to correct where the good hamburgers are that I love. It's Outback Steak House! I don't even know if Steak And Ale exists any more. It's hard to get old and lose your memory!! lol
Looks like a good site.... got ya a referral.
sparkalicious!
