Today's Highlight -- Fun one about meeting a SP member

Voted Popular Blog Post: View All Popular Posts

Wednesday, August 08, 2012

Hit Like if you did at least 10 minutes of fitness today!

60 for me. Today's highlight was a fun one. I had a breakfast meeting and the hostess at the restaurant recognized my SparkPeople T-shirt and said she's a member. So I signed a copy of our book The Spark and gave it to her. Always a thrill to meet SparkPeople when I'm out (on my last flight, the lead flight attendant was a SP member). What was your highlight? -- SparkGuy

    Nice one - I'm sure you made each other's day!

My highlight for today was that I managed to finish making the casserole and have everything else for dinner ready to heat up or final cook when younger son got in from work, so his only waiting time was for him to have a cuppa and relax.

I know - it doesn't sound like much, but I am suffering with a relapse of the flu, so energy etc = minus something just now.
And I have written myself a to-do list for the next few days - so that will help me to feel better about getting odds and ends done too.

    Too often we take what we have for granted. How we take the hand we are dealt really does make all of the difference. emoticon

    Thanks Chris for sharing this blog! What a wonderful story and what a wonderful young man.
Living near Cleveland, I have always been a Browns fan and was very upset when our team was moved to Baltimore. But after watching and listening to this "motivator", I will be rooting for the Ravens, just for his sake. God Bless Him and you and your family. Noel

    I've actually been recognized out in public which shocked me. When somebody said "Are you ~Indygirl from SparkPeople?" I almost fainted.

    So do you ALWAYS wear a SparkPeople t-shirt? And do you ever have people recognize you when you're not wearing the logo?

    This is good inspiration for me to get a SparkPeople t-shirt. I saw an "I "heart" SP" shirt at a festival last year and loved seeing it! Too shy to go up to her though. Maybe next time!

  It is wonderful to have things in common with perfect strangers. Makes you feel like you are supported because people are going through the same things you are.

    I haven't done my exercise yet, but I will. I can't begin to tell you how much I appreciate this site and the changes in my life. At 67, I'm glad that I have this opportunity to "get it right" finally.

    Pretty cool! My highlight was getting on my bike and riding. Working out has been tough lately because I have a torn meniscus, but my doc said I could ride my bike, so I did! Kudos to you for a great website and for making your business model work! I've been a member since 2004 and the website has really helped me focus and achieve!

    Today's highlight was a 3 mile walk this morning with my husband around the neighborhood and then another 3 mile walk at John Muir Woods in CA. Such a blast. Oh yeah, we are both wiped out. emoticon

    My favorite thing is telling someone about Spark People and finding out they are already a member. The only thing better than that is when THEY tell me about it! Spreading the SPARK!!
