Isn’t it amazing how many times we say we’re gonna change something in our lives and we don’t follow through with it? Well…I know there are a couple of changes that I’m making in my life that gonna be hard to stick with, but when all is said and done both will change my life for the better. What are they? Here ya go…

1) Patty and I are gonna be setting up a hardcore budget and paying off stuff as fast as possible. I’m sure that we won’t be able to eat out much and we’ll have to cut back on other things (goodbye cable package), but wow..it will feel great to be out of debt. This post by Seth Godin really sums up how I’m feeling about it. Part of our plan is that I’m gonna do some extra work on the side…maybe even some speaking or music. We’ll see.

2) I’m going to lose weight and get into shape. I need to drop about 35-50 pounds and it begins today. I wish I could find an inexpensive personal trainer (is there such a thing?) but I’m just planning on toughing it out myself until that happens. Let’s face it. Most of us know what we should eat and what we should do to stay in shape. We just don’t do it. The Bible says our bodies are a temple. My temple needs a major renovation.

Should be interesting. I’ll have to give everyone updates on our progress.
