So I’ve decided to experiment with the idea of living wiithout TV. What would drive me to such a CRAZY act (it get disconnected tonight at midnigh:) you say? Well… I want to see how much TIME I gain and how much my attitiude changes. TV does a great job of taking away precious time that you could be doing something productive. It also can expose you to alot of negativety, check out the next newscast you watch. Now THAT should put a spring in your step!
Also, there are some personal training programs (certifications) I’ve been wanting to take and I needed to find funds for these programs. I will save about $80 a month once the TV is disconnected. I cringe when I say this, but I’ve also taken out my $4 a day Starbucks habit and will save about $100 a month. After about 4 weeks I will allow myself 1 starbucks (or Hillside Cafe…love that place) a day. That is a savings of $180.
How can this little experiment apply to YOU? If you are trying to fit a fitness program into your budget during these hard times, try what I’m trying above. Maybe you simply cannot live without TV, but think of things that you CAN live without and would probably be good to cut out as it’s a little unhealthy anyway. Sometimes I hear this with potential cllients, “I just don’t have the money right now”…but IF you really want to make a change in your life, especially a lifestyle change, you CAN rearrange WHAT you are spending the money on and you will be suprised what you find. You can workout on your own but many people need the extra push of a trainer. This is just one example as it’s in my field. But you can apply the same idea to a trip you want to take Or that outfit you are dying to buy for your high school reunion or WHATEVER it is….
So join me on this journey and I will report back from time to time and let you know how it’s going. I may go crazy after about 1 week but I know this is going to have a PROFOUND affect on me. If you do the same I hope whatever you do has a profound affect on you too!!!
Good LUCK!
