Balance in Health and Spending

I did take some time to watch some TV and read some articles this week. It is surprising how certain subjects seem to stand out. This week was the word balance. If you don't have balance in your life, life feels fragmented and crazy.

I have found that when one aspect of my life is out of balance, everything in all areas of my life goes crazy. Right now I am working to get money and health back in check.

For the first time in my life my doctor told me to lose weight. I had gained 18 pounds last year while going through IVF. It really shows. I hate not being able to fit into my cloths. So I am really working hard to lose a few pounds. I am forcing myself to be more active to burn more calories in a day. Monday my elliptical was delivered and I plan to put it together this weekend. That will help a lot to get me back in shape.

I am hoping to get word on a job within the next week or so. That will help my finances get back in balance.

So now I am trying to get myself back to balance and figure out how to stay in balance once I get there. It is very hard to keep family, finances, health, work, and friends all in a happy balance and not be stressed doing it all.

What are some of your suggestions on how to keep your life in balance?
