Spark!

I feel I must tell you why I haven't been quilting a lot lately and why I'm not posting as often.

Some of you may remember when a new man entered my life, you can read the post here, almost a year ago.  I've been spending a lot of time with Tristan, a lot since the beginning of December.  Part of the reason I've stuck with him this long is because of an awesome website I''ve found. More on that later.

So,  you want to see a pic of Tristan because you were too stubborn to read the post from last February that I linked up for you?  You really should read it, it's quite funny. I think so anyway, LOL

Alright.

I'll share.

My mum taught me how to do that.

Meet Tristan. Isn't he sexy?  He makes me sweaty too, LOL.

I don't have a lot of weight to lose (less than 40 lbs) but I desparately want to be fit and healthy.  Tristan is helping accomplish that.  The website that is also helping me in this feat is called Spark People  The information available is incredible, people are encouraging and it's free.  Check it out if you're interested. If you're not interested that's okay by me.  I just wanted to share with all of you.

 One more thing about sparkpeople, there's a fun contest going on from now until January 31st.

As you may know, I am an active member of the popular healthy-living website, SparkPeople.com.  In an effort to help SparkPeople live out their mission of helping millions of people reach their goals and live healthier lives, I have joined a contest they're holding called "The Spark Free Chapter Challenge."  If you have one minute to spare, I could use your help, because I REALLY want to win!

So here's the deal with the challenge…

Chris Downie, SparkPeople's CEO and founder, recently published a book called "The Spark" that offers a proven new approach to improving your health, transforming your life and reaching your goals (for example, real people have lost over 10 million pounds using their free online program)!

People like me who are helping them "Spread The Spark" through The Spark Free Chapter Challenge are encouraging our friends and family to download a FREE chapter of "The Spark" book.  And for every person I can encourage to download the chapter, I will get an additional chance to win a $500 weekend getaway and other prizes, as well as something they offer called "SparkPoints," which also help motivate me to reach my goals.

All you have to do to help is download a free chapter from The Spark book. Nothing else.  To do so, simply go to http://book.sparkpeople.com/book.asp?u=LOVETOSNORKEL  and click the button to download your free chapter.

If you would be willing to help me with this, I would truly appreciate it, and I also think you will enjoy reading this free chapter from
"The Spark".  I know I did!

Thank you for your time.  I really appreciate it.

LOVETOSNORKEL

also known as Quilter Going Bananas by all of you!  LoveToSnorkel is my user name on SparkPeople.  If you want to help me great, if not that's okay. I just thought I'd ask.  No harm in asking, right?

Thanks for reading this long post.  Don't worry my blog won't turn into a super-duper fitness blog.  Once in a while other parts of my life need to be shared. And today was that day.

Happy Quilting!  Until next time...
