Six weeks in again

It's been a good six weeks since I 'respark'ed my journey to a younger me. Last year I gained about ten pounds just in a few months (at least I think a few weeks because I had stopped weighing myself) and I stayed that way for a year despite telling myself I would go back to being more careful on my diet. But the real change was that I had dropped my walking habit when my walking buddy passed away suddenly after a stroke. It does really help to have a someone along on a walk, to talk with, commiserate with, and laugh with. So I'm finding new walking pals and meantime I'm tracking my food, joining challenges, and just keeping tuned in to Sparkpeople.
