New chapter, New choices

So today was the last day of Sparkpeople. That's the healthy living lifestyle support site I've lived on since March of 2010. It's been a melancholy kind of day. I'm going to miss my daily check-in. I'm going to miss surprise "spark goodies" from my friends and blogs I've followed forever.  To be honest it's a bit anxiety inducing for it all to be gone. I'm a bit off kilter because of it.  

I know, I know. I'm 41. I'm emotional over a website. I have ways to connect to the wonderful people I met on Spark. All I've learned is not lost or forgotten. It's all going to be just fine. I just wish more people had the opportunity to enjoy the beauty that was the original Sparkpeople. 

But today marks a new chapter. I forge forward, looking for a new fitness "home." A place I like to log my activity and food. An accountability buddy if you will.   Maybe it's time for new approach anyway. As a homeschool parent I get to find new ways to enjoy health with my 13-year-old daughter, Miss B.  I'm exploring a side of me I didn't know existed, at least not like this.  Maybe this is my opportunity to take charge and teach Miss B about balance. After all health is still 3 fold, mind, body, and spirit. Maybe my mind and spirit need the change.

  1. Yes, it was indeed menalcholy yesterday. Having to start a whole new routine. BUT it will happen.

    That’s the thing . . . it’s not the site itself, it’s the PEOPLE . . . . the human connection.

    Holy Moley! Hard to believe Bug is 13! I remember your blog about her 1st day of kindergarten! **SIGH** Time just doesn’t stand still, does it.

    That’s a good attitude and valid perception. Usually, no matter all the resistance to change, in one way or another it ends up being good for one reason or another.

    HUGS and good luck moving forward.
