Gotta get fit

[Maggie12]

I am getting my sh*t together - such a good feeling. I feel normal again - I can;t tell you how good it feels to feel like me again. Makes me realise I have not been me for a few years and its so good. so I am planning my financial goals, starting to budget, planning to buy a house in a year (roughly) and its great. I'm also looking for creative ways to get a second income - I want to find something to sink my teeth into (no don;t tell me about ebay etc - I don;t make things LOL).

But something else I ahve to do is get into an exercise routine. I have cut down my work hours to something more normal, and now I would like to find a way to get up early and exercise before work and/or do some after work. I am not a morning person and I get up at the last possible moment, fly into the shower and get ready like a mad woman, fly to the train station, run to catch the train and so it goes. So I need ot change that.

I'd like to come up with a goal for end of year - weight and fitness wise. I'll get there.
Anyone else in the same boat?

A few years ago I got a heart rate monitor and it was really good for motivation. I would record the stats and see my progress. I might dig that out again.

Well ladies, now is a great time for us set some end of year goals! When I have mine I am going to post them and update them monthly to see my progress.

Hey, maybe we should get a section here for goals so we can post them and monitor them and encourage each other? Or is there one already and I don;t know about it?

That sounds like a great idea :)

Hi Maggie,

A good idea for a 2nd income is market research. There are a few companies that you can sign up with online. Often they are of a night or weekend.

I don't do it anymore, but a few years ago, the extra $60 or $100 every couple of weeks came in handy. You can knock them back if it isn't suitable & they don;'t mind. Also, it's usually cash. I am still signed up with a couple and I get regular emails about different surveys, and I haven't done one for at least 18 months.

Well done Maggie you are doing so much good for your mind in the way you are thinking now
the section for incentive sounds like a super idea

Good on you Maggie, I've been doing mine for about 4-5 months now, with the exercise etc my goal was just to do it not to actually reach a target weight etc but just to get active as often as i could and its been great!

I started last November, walking, running and doing weights, and the results have been remarkable - and I am 58 this year. At the moment I am grounded with a herniated disc in my back but as soon as that is ok back to my routine, I realy miss it. I lost 10 kilos and feel really good for it.
