Stretchin' and Growin'

Today was Stretch-n-Grow day for me. I coached my class this morning and we had loads of fun! The kids really love it and they are learning their muscles very well. They are also improving their coordination and balance. I feel better after coaching the class. It gives me some much needed exercise, and a totally different environment for 30 minutes of the workday. I just wish more centers would be open to the concept here in our area. I guess that's where marketing and perserverance comes in to play.

The Winter Blahs

Officially, we are only beginning the winter season. Emotionally, I have had enough of this winter stuff and am ready for spring. Glorious spring! Warm air, sunshine, green grass, clothes hanging on the line. Ahhhh. It's amazing how much my spirits are lifted by the onset of spring. I am such a warm weather person.

I would love to take another trip to sunny Florida to visit my close friends, Mary Ann and Tom, in the spring again this year. Alas, it is not likely to happen this year. We are trying to eliminate our consumer debt as soon as possible, therefore many luxuries will have to wait for a year or two. But, in the end, the sacrifices will be well worth the rewards! It will be wonderful and liberating to be free of the bondage of debt. I am more excited about becoming debt-free, than I am willing to indulge myself in spurts of frivolous behavior. After we have paid our debts, the money we spend on recreation will actually be ours to spend, not money we owe others. Then, we will truly have something to celebrate!!

P.S. The Stretch-n-Grow business is for sale if anyone is interested!!

Day Two of the New Year

Well, I know it's early, but has anyone blown their resolution yet? Mine are such that it takes time to accomplish them, so I really can't mess them up this early. Bit I believe it is quite possible that I will in the future. Not being pessimistic, just realistic. I will try very hard, but I am only human.
Good Luck!!

Happy New Year

Welcome to 2008! I am happy to start a new year, with lots of goals and resolutions to work towards. I, like so many others, vow to lose weight this year. Also, we intend to get as much out of debt as humanly possible. I know those are the dreams of many these days, but I sincerely hope we can accomplish at least a portion of what we are striving for. I also hope for success for everyone else who has resolved to live a happier, healthier, more stable life this year.

What are some of your New Year's Resolutions? Anyone have something new to add to the list of things we want to improve?
