Keeping Weight Off in the New Year

January has arrived, and I can't think of anything I'd rather do than get in shape. For years I have fluctuated with gaining and losing pounds and I have tried many products and diets and work out routines. Exercise is key, I know this; however, it sometimes seems as though the more I exercise, the more my body feels great, yet still don't lose weight! Often I wonder what is wrong with me and why can't I keep the weight off when I finally do lose some?

I have very decent eating habits, and almost never eat chips or drink soda. I'm just not a junk food eater! I have a membership to a local gym that I use and exercise at often, and if I don't go to the gym, I practice pilates to help tone my body a lose a little weight. They're fun! Getting into yoga is my next goal.

The point of this blog is to say that I am sick and tired of worrying so much about my weight and what my body looks like. I want to be so active that I don't even notice I am losing weight, and be happy doing so! So what secrets are out there that I can steal and use for my own body? Is there really a diet pill that will work for me? Do acai berry supplements really work? Body cleansers? Just exactly what is the right recipe or combination of things I should be doing in order to make my body healthier and happier?

I guess you could say my New Year's Resolution is to get rid of the extra poundage and keep off the weight so that I can go into this summer feeling good as new and happy to show off my body.

I have decided to try something that I have found online: Fat Burning Furnace!

We'll see how this goes. This product gives you special techniques that should work with losing weight steadily and efficiently. It also explains why some classic moves (such as crunches and the "fat burning" mode on your exercise bicycle) may not be as affective on your body. Check it out with me! I'm hoping to learn a thing or two about different moves that could help my body!

Hello All!

This, I have decided, is my REAL, first blog post. This is because I was not truly interested in getting into blogging until now! I have been instructed to use blogging quite often, actually - and I really would like to do it!

The reason for this being: since my "first blog post," I have been increasingly interested in making money online. I had heard of people all over the country being successful at this, yet wasn't sure just how to go about it.

I searched online for programs that could show me how to begin, methods that worked better than others, and physical products I could go about selling. I ruled out eBay and Etsy because, although I can sell my homemade, beaded jewelry on Etsy.com, I really didn't have any tangible product that I could make in large quantities to sell to make a large enough profit for a source of income. It just wasn't reasonable for me.

Then I tried online surveys. Numerous of survey websites claimed that I could make a ton of money by just filling out surveys. However, this took more time than I had ever imagined, and it got me no money by the time I gave up in frustration.

Through the experience with the surveys, I noticed ads about programs you could use to help you make money online using affiliate marketing methods. This seemed interesting and a little more legitimate than everything I had seen so far. But which program to choose?

I ended up signing up for a few of them, and have learned something from each one. I truly believe that not each program is for everyone - you have to find the one that works for you. After a couple of tries, I found the right one.

I have been using My Online Income System, by Kimberly Hoffman, for almost three months now. It is a 60-day program that teaches you just about everything there is to know about affiliate marketing and online home business (I had to take some time off from the program for school finals and the busy holidays!). My method is to take in everything the program teaches me, and learn as much as I can. I jot everything down in a notebook, and keep all of my newly gained information as organized as possible.

On the Internet, I have seen My Online Income System rated the #1 and #2 most effective program out there, helping people to make a steady income online. This is great! I am pretty sure I picked the right one! Have I made any money yet? No, not yet, but I am piecing everything together right now, and the concepts of how affiliate marketing works is becoming much clearer. I understand how everything works together to make you money, and what I need to do to get there.

I don't want to get ahead of myself in excitement, however, and that is why I am not rushing ahead of the 60-day program. I will do everything the system says so that I can make a considerable amount of money online, and maybe (just maybe!) quit at least one of me three, miserable jobs!

My first post!

I have never had a blog before, but I guess it's time to start! It seems as though everyone has one, and I guess it could be rather therapeutic. Who knows...

Right now it is partially sunny outside and I am inside being creative and beading; making earrings and necklaces and such. I don't have to work today, but I will be going to a baseball game this evening with my friend Dan from NHTI. A Fisher Cats game, actually. So I won't be traveling far for it, which is great.

My sister and her boyfriend and his brother and the baby went to the pool a few minutes ago. However, I was at the ocean yesterday and got a lot of color, as well as a stinging face. So I doubt I will be joining them today.

I hope to hear back from some more of the 27 architecture firms I e-mailed the other day...
