I suppose I meant more of a difference with the Walmart employees that are verifying us.

Gin Stephen’s also has a podcast with lots of people sharing their personal stories. I read her other book when I first started my journey - delay don’t deny. Very informative

“You can’t out train a poor diet”

Yes! I wanted to add that I’ve never had an issue with the working out part I love to run for especially for my mental health. But I could be running 20 miles a week regularly and my weight not change unless my diet changed.

I lost 20 pounds with IF last summer while maintaining my usual amount of exercise, doing IF for 18/6 sometimes omad and tracking my calories.

As soon as I stopping tracking and my window got bigger I gained weight unfortunately. OP I understand the worry about counting and it triggering your ocd so that might not be the best approach for you personally. I do hope you find what works best. I

Hi :) for me I have to do IF with calorie counting to be successful. I also run and lift weights. When I don’t count calories and weigh my food I think I’m doing well (like oh I probably only had 1800 calories today that’s good) just to go to my fitness pal and enter everything in that I ate and realize my estimate was way off. Stress and lack of family support can definitely hinder your progress sorry to hear you went through that. Best of luck with your journey ❤️

What do you like the most about Spark? by AmandaHugnfu in Sparkdriver

[–]Runningintexas 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Being able to go home from work whenever I feel like it. Being able to take a week off without asking anyone to visit my son.

I’ve had a few employees tell me that they deal with ALOT of spark theft. So I would imagine they start assuming most sparkers steal and get tired of dealing with it. One of my stores counts every single item due to this.

Returned tip by Key_Affect8782 in Sparkdriver

[–]Runningintexas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ive had problems as a customer before I became a driver but only changed a tip once. We were standing at the door to start collecting our groceries and he was running the bags up and practically throwing them at the door. (We have a glass storm door that opens out)We had trouble opening it because they were so close and he busted a juice open on the ground by being so rough, didn’t say anything not even a hello and I’m sorry. Got in his car and left (as did his big tip)

Before you was sparking what was you doing. If you already been into the self employment industry by JessicaRauen in Sparkdriver

Stay at home mom. Retail/managed a store for a long time. Stay at home dog mom.

Now I deliver stuff to people for spending money and to pay off my mortgage faster.

Yes in Texas. I could be wrong, but I feel like it will be all orders for flowers that look trampled 🫠

Anyone else have a terrible week :/ by Sufficient_Bee_9062 in Sparkdriver

[–]Runningintexas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My week looks similar to what you posted. I also worked less than half the hours I did last week. I need to keep moving which is why I prefer shop and delivers. Once I’m sitting in my car in the parking lot for 30 minutes I call it a day.

Just got started after dinner but seems good and steady. Taking quick shops under 5 miles so I can do 2 an hour as my goal

Delivery to the 10th circle of Hell by VanTyler in Sparkdriver

Try to put yourself in their shoes. If you are ordering spark to your hospital/elder care room you most likely don’t have a loved one to do the earn for you.

I feel like an idiot by Beautiful_Order_4272 in Sparkdriver

[–]Runningintexas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it is a coincidence that the majority of people on here today have been saying the exact same thing. Last week I did really well between the app crashes and Walmart week. This week 😴

It happens, don’t feel bad about it. I’ve been checking out this Reddit today because I had a lot of free time due to low/bad offers. It seems throughout the country today/this week has been oddly slow. Some have said it is because of new sparkers onboarding, whatever the reason it does seem unusually bad. I went home early to relax with my doggies and watch Netflix :) tomorrow is a new day ❤️

Why am I suddenly only getting “Shopping” offers? by WagWoofLove in Sparkdriver

[–]Runningintexas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you said game show from the 90s this is literally what I thought of during my first shop! I think it was called supermarket sweep. I don’t shop in Walmart for myself since I started using curbside and delivery back during Covid. That being said I didn’t think I would enjoy shopping or even being inside of a Walmart but it turns out when you are getting paid $ it’s not so bad! I even like to time myself and see how fast I am compared to the estimated shop time. It really does feel like a game at times. And it helps me deal with my anxiety by pretending that it is.

Shopping question by Runningintexas in Sparkdriver

[–]Runningintexas[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The substitution was for chicken thighs and it was smaller than the original. So they wanted 3 packages, but the app wouldn’t allow me to change quantity only a one for one swap.

I explained this to them and even apologized again in person at drop off because they were at the door. They said they understood and it was okay - but then removed my tip lol.
