My Life Is An Adventure

BLUEBIRDER

Whoa-how did this happen? I started hanging around SparkPeople in March, just to check it out. Being the smartypants that I am, I had no idea how much I could learn here. I've tracked my fitness, on and off have tracked my nutrition (now that's an eye-opener), read inspirational stories from fellow Sparkers, joined a couple of teams (Me? Not usually much of a joiner), and learned one heck of a lot about exercise, fitness, motivation, nutrition, good recipes, and living a healthy life. I'm stronger, slimmer, more agile, and happier.

I couldn't have done any of this without all the participants shouting out encouragement, answering questions, asking questions, and being with me all year. So thanks, everyone, for helping me along. And thanks, SparkTeam, for putting together just about the best web site on the planet. My life is an adventure (see the logo above), and it's a better one than it has been in some time. Now to hit 10,000 fitness minutes by the end of the year. I think I can, I think I can....

Meatless Meals Benefit Your Health

On World Vegetarian Day, most people aren't willing to trade in their turkey for tofurkey. Luckily, you can still reap the benefits of vegetarianism by trying flexitarianism on for size.

Soft-Serve Banana "Ice Cream"
Submitted By: SP_STEPF

Frozen bananas rival soft serve when given a whirl in the food processor. Trust me, it's AMAZING: no fat, no cholesterol, no added sugar, just creamy and sweet bananas!
My brother and boyfriend loved this treat! I found this recipe on a raw foods website and modified it slightly. I topped mine with a tablespoon of pure maple syrup mixed with 2 t dark cocoa powder. Full Recipe
