Spark Solution Week #1 Recap

Sun, 19 May 2013 12:01:26 EST

What made you decide to try The Spark Solution Program? I need to gain control of my eating and workout schedule. I've been up and down in weight for years, but the last few years I've only been up. It was time for a lifetime change; no diet.

• Have you seen or felt any results in this first week? I haven't been as consistent with my workout outs as I should have been, but I do have more energy when I do them. The scale has not moved much, but I do feel better.

Spark Solution Day #2

Tue, 14 May 2013 12:34:28 EST

Yesterday went well....I ate & worked out as outlined; but I was really tired this morning. I didn't get up til 9:30 and I went to bed at a reasonable time (I don't really remember)
I ate the same breakfast as yesterday because it was late and I was hungry. I ate just over and hour ago and I'm hungry now?????
I'm going to do the strength training today; hopefully I won't be too sore tomorrow.

Gerald and I went to Michelle and Kenya's last night for a party. Had a great time...over ate :( but I will do better next time. I still have 2 days before I make my major change by making little changes along the way:).

I'm currently reading Spark Solution and it is very good. Sound advice that I can and will do; and not just for the short term.

I am starting the 2 week plan on Monday, May 13. And I'll be shopping on Sunday....there is a long shopping list.

I'll blog here and in the community.

Moved ellipitcial upstairs.....new workout room

Tri

Sat, 17 Nov 2012 17:17:06 EST

I'm thinking about doing the Philly Tri in 2013. The fund raising is only $2,000.00 and they have a sprint distance as well as an olympic distance....I'll do the sprint this time; then the olympic for 2014 (I'm thinking....)

Ate out & ate right

Sat, 17 Nov 2012 17:15:31 EST

Gerald & I went to Lisa & Allen's last night to help celebrate Lisa's birthday. Allen cooked a great meal as usual, but this time I ate right. :)

Went to Washington DC on Nov 13

Wed, 14 Nov 2012 10:27:52 EST

Went to Washington, DC today to see Linda Ford, walked alot and ate OK; but when I got home I ate 3 slices of bacon 270 + 3 Nutrasystem bars 600 + 6 lollipops 240. I think that the lollipops were the start of the break.....I should have had tea like I did the other night when Gerald was home. Lesson Learned.
For dinner I went a little over with 4 very small pieces of corn bread, fried cat fish, collard greens & mac & cheese.

Nov 3

Yesterday, after I ate the remaining candy, I ate well. Today I plan to get on the elliptical and start doing some ab work.

Nov 2

Fri, 2 Nov 2012 12:44:19 EST

I've been having a very difficult time getting motivated to work out or eat properly. Somehow after the great convention on AC, I've gotten off track. Maybe because I did not work out there...I started out good.

OK, I will finish my jelly beans....then get back to it. I'll weigh in & Measure tomorrow. Today, I'll do 60 or 30 on the Elliptical.

Sunday, Oct 21; Day #4

Sun, 21 Oct 2012 20:59:27 EST

I'm in Atlantic City for a conference, so I don't have access to all of my nutrition tools. I ate with my fat, carb & protein goals; but I'm short on total calories (by 75). On the up side I did 60 min on the elliptical before I left. And I checked out the gym here, and it is very nice.

Day #3 and still going strong

Sat, 20 Oct 2012 20:36:48 EST

I really like working with this site. It is helping me monitor my calories & fitness.

I'm ready...
