One Bird at a Time


This is to remind me of "Bird by Bird" - by one of my favorite authors, Anne Lamott - a wonderful guide on writing and life. If only I could learn to follow it....

Now officially on my ___(fill in # here!)... try at Spark People. I know that SparkPeople WORKS - but it cannot if I don't. Hoping I realize that simply saying "restart" repeatedly never gets you to your goal.

Can we say "Extreme Makeover - Life Edition!"

    The flowers and blossoms are filling the air with the smells of Spring. This is the time to start preparing for the Summer. Are you ready to join a Challenge? The Biggest Loser Challenge is looking for members for it’s next Challenge starting the first week of June. The challenge consists of 11 Teams, that participate in 10 weeks of Nutritional and Fitness Challenges. These challenges can be modified to fit individual needs, allowing members of all abilities and dietary needs to participate.

    Here are some of the members comments written on a Survey Monkey poll:

    “It helps me stay focused on my goals. It also keeps things interesting and not boring.”

    “I find that the challenges make me be more cognizant of my food intake, better choices etc. The fitness ones encourage me to try new exercises and to keep doing exercises. I think there is a good possibility I wouldnt do as much if I didnt track it for challenges or tried to do better on challenges”

    “My leaders are all wonderful...they stay in touch with team members and do their best to keep us involved and feeling a part of the team.”

    “They motivate me to eat healthier and to be more active. “

    If you would like to be a member of this challenge you can copy and paste the the link below, or click on my username and leave me a message or click on the BLUE BIGGEST LOSER Icon on my page. Join the team and sign up for the next challenge on the Spring Waitlist thread.

    Oh my, you absolutely win the appliance disaster story!!! Too funny!!! And your DH's idea of the Christmas cookie and firefighter card would have been wonderful!!!!!

    My aunt's dryer once caught on fire, and she called the fire department!!!

    Actually, I had an outlet that caught on fire once! Freaked me out - and it was the refrigerator's outlet!!! My landlord "fixed" it by running a huge heavy duty outdoor extension cord out of their window, down the wall, and into my kitchen (through the window) so I could use the fridge! Used it that way for another year or two - it was pretty weird, but it worked.

    Hi - and yes, I'm still doing my ST, every morning. I have three different routines, a different one depending on the day of the week.

    Let me know if you want more info - I'm not sure if you can so another person's workouts. Used to be able to, but SP changes up the Sparkpages periodically.
