Happy New Blog!


With the new year comes new goals, new resolution, and new ideas.

Let's start with a new book! I recommend Lose 200 Pounds This Weekend by Don Aslett.

Most of us just received a plethora of wonderful gifts in the past month. Now we suffer from affluenza. Affluenza is an overwhelming sense of dissatisfaction amidst bountiful provision. While we desire to "count our blessings," we dread the upkeep of our possessions. Being thankful becomes difficult because we have too much. Let's be honest, all of this accumulation just doesn't bring affirmation.

While taking a huge pile to the local Goodwill may not nip the bud of American consumerism, it may be a great start to the new year. Why not? We have so much to gain by losing some of the stuff.

Read the book. It's fun and motivating. When you finish, pass the book on to someone else who wants it.

Good idea. I think the first thing I'm going to lose will be my scales! They take up way too much room in my head!
