For those new to my page, I'd initially stated that community participation would come hard for me. I check my Facebook page at most weekly, and wouldn't dream of putting anything even remotely personal "out there." Yet I find that I enjoy the SparkTeams that I'm committing to. I still mostly do game threads and team check-in items. I also frequently "like" something without making a comment.

For those new to my page, I'd initially stated that community participation would come hard for me.

Well, I ended up posting one blog, but it was not the one I'm still mulling over. It was serendipitous I guess one could say.

Now it's mid-December. I've reached my 3 month SparkVersary. Even though my tracker says 30 pounds lost, some came before I joined SP. I started my stats with the date of November 1, 2011, because that was the first time I really took medical advice to lose weight seriously. I didn't do well on my own, losing maybe a pound a month until April. At that time, I decided to give Atkins a try. Yes, you read correctly - a try, not a commitment. Well, I did a bit better, but not much and not for long.
September 10 I joined SparkPeople. I tracked my water, my fruits/vegetables, and my 3 fast break goals.
I borrowed The Spark from the library after being on the hold list for a bit. (Now retired, I don't buy books without borrowing them first). And I succeeded! I lost one whole pound in those three weeks, but I mostly met those goals! By the time I completed Stage 1, I was ready to do some planning, some tracking, some walking, more stretching, and then I grew from there.
I know I still need to stick my neck out more in the way of blogging. But I discovered a team that was for my geographic area, and then learned it was inactive.
So I'm tackling the task that's really giving me some pause. I signed up to work with the CoMo Let's Go! team, and I'm putting the future of the team in God's hands.
