physical activity is next on the list

Hello world,

I'm tired of hurting. Is anyone else? My neck and back are screwed up - from what I'm pretty sure has developed into bad posture. My spine around my neck has compressed discs and this sometimes causes really bad neck pains that turn into horrific migraines. I would not wish these upon my worst enemy. It just wouldn't be fair. Yoga and yoga-esque exercises really make me feel better; so why don't I do them?? Once again, it takes 21 days to make a habit, so I guess I just need to start with Day 1! If I dwell on why, what has happened in the past, I will get no where. It's like Rafiki (from Lion King) once said "It doesn't matta, it was in de past!" New apartment; new life.

Also, for my birthday I got a cool Zumba game for my ps3. I really like playing it - and it isn't easy. Or either that I can't dance... I think a little bit of both. But I never played because we lived in a 2nd story apartment. This apartment made SO much sound, I mean even my 10 lb Prissy Dog made creaking noises as she walked across the floor. But now we are moving to a 1st story apartment, so I can play all I want. And who knows - maybe I will get better at dancing! I know from watching So You Think You Can Dance (love the show) that dancers have amazing bodies, and I would love to have that body! So I think Zumba is a good place to start. And maybe if I get good enough to where I'm not making a fool out of myself, they have classes I can attend and really get some good work outs in.

The new apartment also has a work out facility. Which is a key reason why we are moving and moving to this apartment. It's not huge or anything - but it'll do. It's more equipment than I have access to right now! And even though gym memberships aren't "that expensive" we just can't afford the reoccurring payments especially if we were in the wrong frame of mind to go. Now I feel differently, and there is one just steps from my door.

I'm really looking forward to the new life. Living less cluttered, eating healthier, being more physically active, and more financially sound. All things that I believe are going to make life better. I still can't believe that we have only saved 13 boxes (8 small, and 5 medium boxes) from the apartment. Why was I so attached to things that didn't, well I can't say matter, because they mattered to me. But come one - I can't take it with me when I go, so why am I carting it all around?!

Anywho, in short, physical activity will be a must in the new house either with Zumba or the work out room, with a little bit of yoga before hand. Very excited! I really want to be able to post pictures of me so you can see the results of my work. So I guess when we move into new house - I have to give you a starting picture. Look for it! :-)

Life's too short to have too much stuff,
