HELP MY WAISTLINE IS GROWING FASTER THAN MY WALLET!!

After ending the last month of year with a knee injury, a cruise and the holidays, my waistline truly is growing. Lack of exercise and inrease in food and goodies is not good, trust me! In order to increase the size of my wallet and decrease the size of my waistline, I have decided to cut WAY back on client lunches. Quick meeting for coffee in the morning or mid afternoon is going to have to do it! I'll see how it goes for 30 days. I am going to avoid showing property over the lunch hour! After all I AM IN CHARGE OF THIS BUSINESS!! (sounds good , huh??) I looked at my overall monthly expenses with my coach last week and I was shocked into reality! Don't get me wrong, I'm not going into debt, but are all those expenses necessary? I have decided to try cutting back for 30 days and see if it affects my business. I'm sure I'll know 30 days. I should have a BONUS of a smaller waistline, too! Bring on the celery and carrots!! 2008 IS A WHOLE NEW WORLD IN REAL ESTATE!!

Door knocking is a good way to lose some weight and it doesn't cost a lot.

If a person spends only $5 a day for lunch (obviously not for taking a client out...haha...that would be much more) and do this 5 days a week they spend well over $1200 a year! That's almost enough money for your next cruise!!!

Have you done yoga? Mix a little bit of pilates principles in with basic yoga so you can strengthen your core and your waistline will not only shrink, but it will be firm! I know from first-hand experience. I taught aerobics for 16 years (on the side), then switched to yoga/pilates and got better results in the 1st 6 months than I ever had in the previous 16 years.

This reminds me, did I show you how you can use your topproducer database to budget your money AND your diet? I know, I'm shamelessly in love with topproducer! LOL. I can't help it, I love what works!
