Run Fat Boy, Run!

There are lots of health and wellness websites out there.  Lots of diet pages, lots of communities.  I’ve decided to join one of them, and I thought I’d share it with you guys – in case anyone is looking and wants to join me over there.  (I’ll still be getting back into the swing of things over here!)

The site is called sparkpeople.com, and it’s got some neat features.  First neat feature is a Spark Page.  Here’s mine.  You can choose what gets displayed (I chose everything.)  You can post pictures of yourself ( I have) and you can share your nutritional tracking, exercise tracking and other things.  (For those of you that are pregnant or breastfeeding, sparkpeople.com is affiliated with babyfit.com – a great website that has the same sort of features but designed towards helping new mothers or moms-to-be.)

I mentioned the nutrition tracker.  It will suggest meal plans for you, recipes, and lets you enter your own meals, along with as much or little nutritional information as you want to include.  You can also import information from other people who have chosen to share their foods, so Sami was able to import my meat sauce I made for spagetti last night, and I was able to import the margerine we have that she entered.

If you want to come try it out, please do!  These things usually work better when you have a support network around you.  Add me as a friend from my spark page if you join up.  You can even mention I told you about it (my username is suprspi) and I’ll get spark points.

Other things I’m going to do are to post some recipes here, (and probably at my normal blog too) and to track some of the exercise Sami and I are doing.  Hope you enjoy me getting back into the swing of blogging our exercise and stuff again.

Cheers!  And welcome back!
