the other stuff
the other stuff that i will be doing is as follows:
* Tai Chi, working along with the two videos i have been using for a couple of months now. i want to work on the basic moves again, then build on them. i have no idea how long it'll take me to learn all 18 moves. i'm thinking it'll be a six-month gig, at least six months.
* work on new website. it's a secret to the entire world, except for Rico and Mari. it'll be a scandal when it's revealed :-)))
* work on my yarn crafts. i have to finish so many projects and hopefully, by the time my 51st birthday rolls around in July, the kids will have bought me all the stuff that i want. they know what i want and they have it budgeted in their July finances :-)))
* get the other business going... the crafts end of my life. i have the order for the store in Tel Aviv to complete. i hope i can get together with Coby to see what i can get in their store for the fall/winter season. this is going to be lots of fun !!!
* get the goodies done for the girls. which girls? i'm not telling.
* and just take good care of myself because i sure do deserve it.
peace out !!

very good article from SparkPeople. just in time for my new program.
10 Tips for Starting a Wellness Program Today
Easy Ways to Get Healthy
-- By Carrie Myers Smith, Health & Fitness Writer
It’s never too late to begin your journey in wellness! Here are 10 steps you can take today to get started.
1. Write out your goals and desires. What’s your wellness vision? Where do you envision yourself three to five years from now? Set three-month and weekly goals based on your wellness vision. Goals should be SMART: Specific, Measurable, Action-based, Realistic and Time-oriented.
2. Ask what, when and how. Make a list of the hurdles that keep getting in your way of living a life of wellness. Then determine which ones are true obstacles – things that you need to work around or find solutions to. And the excuses – ‘nuf said!
3. Have a plan. Rarely, if ever, is any major task or project accomplished without a plan in place. Lay out a plan for accomplishing your goals, as well as solutions for overcoming the hurdles. This is your game plan – it should be flexible, but have fortitude, fun, but not “fluff.” And make it active. Include specific steps you will take to reach your goals.
4. Start a journal. Your goals, desires, barriers, obstacles, excuses, solutions and plan should all be a part of your journal. Make your journal yours. Set it up so it’s easy to use so that you will use it. Include space to just let your thoughts flow. Use it to let out your feelings, vent, rejoice, or celebrate. You’ll be amazed at how freeing it is!
5. Begin your journey where you’re standing now. Where are you right now, this moment, on your journey? Accept where you are and where you need to be and begin the steps necessary to bridge that gap. If, however, you find that old issues keep popping up, preventing you from reaching your goals, you may need to seek counseling. Sometimes the only way to move forward is to first go backward.
6. Take one step at a time. What happens when a builder forgets an important step in building a house? Or a chef leaves out an important ingredient in a recipe? Doesn’t work so well, does it? It’s the same thing with your life. You must take certain steps in order to reach a place of wellbeing—and make it fit your lifestyle.
7. Learn from your setbacks. Making mistakes and experiencing failure is all a part of being human and living. Rather than getting down on yourself, take that setback and turn it into something positive – something you can use to reach your goals. Sometimes life is indeed two steps forward, one step back!
8. Spend some time “cleaning house.” This is intended to be both literal and figurative. When our homes are a cluttered mess, it’s impossible to function well. Ditto for our schedules. Create a list of your activities and decide which ones aren’t contributing to your overall purpose in life. “De-fluff” that schedule and concentrate on those activities that bring meaning to your life, and ultimately to others!
9. Stop comparing yourself to others. We’re bombarded by images of “perfect” bodies every day. It’s easy to get caught up in all of it and feel as though we’ll never measure up – and chances are, we won’t. Let’s get real! These images are results of computer imagery, great lighting, professional make-up artists, self-starvation, plastic surgery and really good genes. Stop comparing yourself to a fantasy and just be the best you that you can be.
10. Reward yourself. It’s OK to feel good about yourself! And it’s OK, and beneficial, to reward yourself for your accomplishments, no matter how small they may seem. A meal at your favorite restaurant, a date at the movies, a new outfit, a bubble bath… whatever you wouldn’t normally take the time to do, as long as it contributes to your wellbeing, is a great reward!
with that all read and said, i'll be taking all the steps necessary in the coming days to be as ready as i can possibly be to start MY NEW JOURNEY on Sunday, May 23, 2010.
onward and upward !! :-)

gonna start Body for Life over again :-)
i've decided to take things up to another level starting Sunday, May 30, 2010.
i'm going back to as near as possible Body for Life strength training as i can do, keeping in mind that i work out at home.
so, with that in mind, i'm going to create a new work-out regime for myself in the next couple of days. it will include the following:
** 2 15-minute "power" walks 5 days a week
** 3 upper body strength work-outs per week
** 3 lower body strength work-outs per week
** 5 Tai Chi sessions per week
** stretches
that'll be the beginning of my core fitness program. i'm going to make getting into shape and losing lots of kilos my *job*, my *work*, my life... i LOVE this !!!
along with the fitness program i'm going to hit the nutritional program really hard and get back into good BfL eating. that means the 40/40/20 mini-meals that work so well for me. i'll be working on my daily menus in the coming days too.
YEA !! I'M READY !!! time to get my game and do this with all the gumption that i have.
i'll also be doing my crafts during the day, which will keep me busy and inside the apartment during the super hot months to come.
i'm one happy camper here :-)))

we have found THE PERFECT apartment !!!
that's it.... we've found the apartment of our dreams :-)
it's my friend's almost-old apartment, right up the street from where we are now. it has 3 bedrooms, 2 balconies, a large livingroom, a good size kitchen, a nice service-room for the washer and dryer, and a GARAGE/STORAGE area !!!
it's double the rent that we pay now, but then it's also double the space. Nina and Tamar will each have their own room, like now, and i'll also have a WORK ROOM !!!!! YAY !!! i'll be able to put my computer and sewing station in there, along with a nice closet to keep all my handicrafts organized, and of course, a small tv to keep me company during my working hours.
the livingroom is large enough to be able to finally have a table and chairs, something that we just could never fit in here in this smaller place. the kitchen itself is a bit larger than the one we have now, and set up much better :-) the laundryroom is right off the kitchen, instead off of one of the bathrooms, like it is here.
there is CENTAL AIRCONDITIONING !!!! we won't melt away anymore in the summers. it's going to be so wonderful with the a/c.
and the balconies are wonderful. one is off the livingroom, which has nice big sliding glass doors. the other one is off Nina's bedroom, small, but large enough for a little table and some chairs.
Nina's bedroom has an en-suite with a shower, toilet and sink. the other bathroom is large, with a huge bathtub and shower and a very nice built-in cabinet under the sink.
the building has 10 units, and has an elevator right next to the apartment. there are only 4 steps leading in from the portico to the lobby of the building and then straight into the elevator. for me it's pure heaven.
and the one other incredible part of the whole thing is the GARAGE !! it has an automatic electric door and is the size of about 1/2 of the apartment. there are lots of sheleves up already, which will be really handy for us. but the best thing is that it's on the street level, accessable from the street, and Nina and Tamar can turn it into a place to call their very own.... a complete hang out !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
we are SO HAPPY. words don't even begin to describe how happy we are. all we need now is for the landlord to agree, which doesn't seem to be a problem. i already spoke with the wife and she said *okay* right away. but she did say that she will have to speak with her husband and let us know at the beginning of the week.
since things don't happen without a very good reason, the 3 of feel that God is leading us to this apartment. it's just that way. no doubt about it. we'll have to stretch ourwelves to be able to pay the rent, but with my work on ourmodiin and the handicrafts, Nina and Tamar's contributions, we'll make it, and we'll make it just fine. God has always been very good to us, so we have no doubt whatsoever.
and the very, very best things about the apartment is that it's still very centrally located, even closer to the Modiin Center, where Nina works and where we do most of our *business*, like the supermarket, the bank, etc. and we are still only up the street from the larger new mall :-)
i CAN'T WAIT to talk to the landlords tomorrow.

decision made :-)
i've made a huge decision about how to make extra money AND totally enjoy myself along the way.
i'm going to start a business of knitting and crocheting :-) i will be completing the 3 projects i now have going. i will make new items for personal gifts -- afghans for Nina, Sunny & Tamar are the first items i will make. and i will design a website for my new business.
all of this will take place within the next few months. i figure that i'll have the 3 on-going projects done within the next few weeks and then i'll start on Nina's afghan, and at the same time i will be making *samplers* for the new website.
on the website i will first have pictures of the projects that i've done so far, including Rico's afghan, Oren's afghan, the baby blanket, Racheli's afghan, Ricardo & Susan's afghan and *samplers* of all the different knitting and crocheting that i will be doing in the future. this will all be done in an effort to show potential client's what they can order.
i now need to start thinking of pricing. i have a general idea of how much i want to charge for a basic afghan and i will then be able to adjust the prices according to what a client wants to order.
i will also be researching the possible target markets that will be my the basis of my marketing campaign. together with this, i will design a new website that will really display my knitting and crocheting work.
i'm SO excited about this whole thing. i just KNOW that it will be a great way to make extra money, along with really enjoying myself the whole time.
:-) :-) :-)
