HAPPY SUNDAY!
Happy
Sunday

HELLO!
It’s been 3 months since SparkPeople shut down their
website! THREE MONTHS!!!
Moving forward these last few months, if I’m totally honest,
has not been easy. It’s really been a huge struggle for me! A struggle I was
not expecting. I have signed up with a number of other websites that can help
track nutrition, calories, meals, activity, exercise and so on. Some do allow
for some form of personal journaling and some of those can be made public to
other members of the website. A few of them have forums where members can
discuss various subjects. All of these are aspects of what SparkPeople offered,
at no charge. These other websites don’t offer ALL of these functions. Some
will allow for some of these features only if you pay for the premium
membership. So after months of trying to cobble together something similar to
what I had in my 15 years at SparkPeople, I’ve finally accepted there will
never be anything to replace it.
If Plan A fails,
Now, I’m moving forward with a totally different way of
dealing with all those things!
Food-wise, no more counting calories! I’ve been learning
exactly how my body responds to every food I want to eat. This has resulted in
a more refined list of foods I avoid. I feel better & weight is steadily
coming down.
Activity/Exercise-wise, no specific program. Now, I just
MOVE! It’s a little of T-Tapp, a little of Pilates, a little of all the many
physical therapy exercises I’ve been taught over the years, and walking
whenever possible.
Community-wise, is still a work-in-progress! So much is affected by pandemic restrictions still. With the increase of online video interactions I’ve become worn out with online connections for people. So, I guess I’m coming back now. I feel ready to have more online connections with real people again. I’m ready to write again! WOO HOO!!!
I miss Sparks, too and realize there is NOTHING that will be the same as that, so am making due!
