Yo, Momma . . . January 2005

"Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy." -Dale Carnegie

Happy New Year!  I hope that y'all had a very happy and safe holiday season, filled with good cheer, good friends, good family, and good health. 

January is the time of the New Year's Resolution, a promise to break away from old habits and to develop new healthier ones.  Many people's resolutions have to do with eating better or exercising more.  If you need a little help in setting some short-term health and fitness goals for 2005, go to www.fitfor2.com/goalsetting1.shtml - you can work on achieving your goals along with some of our Fit For 2 class members!  If your New Year's Resolutions include a fitness goal, I hope that you will continue to visit FitFor2.com often throughout the year for informative articles, inspiring quotes, and the knowledge that someone out there (me!) is cheering for you!

If your resolution includes doing more good deeds for others, here's an easy way to start:  Go to http://www.thebreastcancersite.com.  All you do is click a button and a woman gets a free mammogram at no cost to you.  It is paid for by corporate sponsors (who gain advertising in the process because you see their logo.)  All you do is go to the site and click on the free button. It takes one second.  However, you're only allowed one click, and it takes about 40,000 clicks for each free mammogram, so please spread the word!
