SparkNB's Journey to Fitness

   I've been on and off in the past year   . Am back for at least autumn   , maybe winter   . My sister visited, and she, who has lost 70+ pounds   was looking good   , and shopping her own closet from a decade ago, made me want to follow thru on my plans, bette   r. She is a 'weight watcher' and other than writing down what she eats   and going to a meeting once a week for a weigh-in   , plus she walks her big dog   at least daily   , doesn't do as much as I do in terms of online engagement   when I'm active on this site   . I ran around, clicking and linking and liking and getting points, but she lost more and stayed on track. Her results were real   , not virtual.  So I may keep it simpler then I have in the past, focusing more on results   , less on process. Blessings of success during this waning moon!      Member ...

I'm thinking of your home=based job and the windowless basement office. Our 5% is over next week.     's and AA's. Sept. and Oct. were overly filled with deep down time. I decided to evaluate and see if I needed to forgive myself since this down time has happened yearly. I've worked on around 90% of the issues, some of which didn't need to be forgiven, just laid to rest. It's early yet so I'm trusting nothing will ignite that 10% ember that still lies within.    YOU.  2472 days ago v USMAWIFE 2477 days ago v 1CRAZYDOG Good luck! 2478 days ago v SWEDE_SU #2 is for me too…. i can see half my desk now, just have to find the other half! 2478 days ago v TENNISJIM Good goals 2478 days ago v CD5745313 #2 is the one I should focu...

I have been having a bit of a sad time in the past week because of something that happened with my work, and found that I just TOTALLY stopped caring about things that were important to me before (which was weird, because I really had been caring about SP), and ended up on some binges, (albeit healthier than previously). The ennui and depressed feeling wore off as the week wore on, but I ended up not exercising much either, and missed the climax of the fall color here by stewing in my windowless basement office - I work remotely so little contact with others, and no commute. Without my regular hikes, and partly because of the rainy weather, I had no reason to go outside, or even see much beyond the windows, mostly just the wood paneled basement walls, a...
