I'm going to paste a way to track what you're doing and how well it's going. I plan to use this same form all summer. Just edit your form, and then it's easy to continue!

Hello, Spark WV!

As one of the co-leaders, I am issuing a SUMMER challenge to you. It's going to involve several parts. Keep yourself accountable by logging in sometime over the weekend, and let us know about your progress.

---S: Summer and fun. Add 60 minutes (more) per week of exercise to your regimen. Summer is a fun season---walks in the park, playing games with kids and friends, swimming, hiking and bike (any type!) riding, etc. Take advantage of the fun and add more exercise minutes.

---P: Pounds off! Try to lose 5% of your weight within the next eight weeks.

---A: Activity on Spark. Add quality activity through the Spark People site. Do you use the menus? the Nutrition Tracker? The Exercise Tracker? Coach Nicole's great videos or Coach Meg's recipes? Do you use them consistently? What features can use faithfully that lets you reach your goal of losing weight and/or making healthy changes?


---R: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle! Update your Spark Page. Think of members who have attractive pages and follow their leads! Get rid of the old and on with the new---the new that reflects who you are today. (Yes, we do change. Let the change reflect through your make-over of your Spark Page!)


---K: Keep the FRIENDS who are friends!
Think about those Friends on your Spark Page. How many of them are truly friends, people with whom you interact with (even if it's sporadically)? Then think about those whom you don't know or wonder why you are on their Friends list. See who wants to remain a friend, who is no longer active (and if there has been no activity on the page since 2009, it's a safe bet that they're not active!), and delete them. (Can we really have 500+ friends and truly have a SPARK relationship with them?)

Five parts to the challenge; 8 - 10 weeks of summer.
Break it down into parts you can do. But I really encourage everyone to join in on the S and P; that's our purpose--to find that new lifestyle!
