Here I am working online late at night again tonight. At least tonight I have time to write my blog entry. Pardon any mispellings, as I am a little beat. I have been working on some marketing material for a couple of upcoming events I am planning with some fellow Chamber Members. Our Open House was such a sucess that we are going to be doing some spin-off events. We have made some GREAT contacts and are looking forward doing BIG things to end the year and get off to a GREAT start in the New Year. I have drafts for a couple of Press Releases, Introductory Letters, Invitations, PostCards, Fliers and the start of an E-Mail Campaign. I have just reworked some things I was going to try in the past, but I could never get the right people to participate in the program. This time I believe I have found the right team!! It is going to be a "Make 2009 Your Best Year Ever" campaign. It will take place as a series of events from December 2008 through March 2009. These events will flow right in to the upcoming Jersey Shore Relay, with its Health & Wellnes Expo in April and the NJ Marathon Expo in May. Both events will have a Phytness Focus, as yours truly is heavily involved in the coordination of both Expos. New Postcards have just arrived for the 1st Annual Asbury Park Realy Marathon, which will takplace in October 2009. I have HIGH Hopes for the coming year.
I will keep you updated on the progress of this new series of events. We will focus on ending 2008 on a high note and getting off to great a start in 2009. We will be working with local business owners and professionals to put together some intersting and informative events in the coming months. The High Tide lifts all boats, so let us all get onboard and enjoy the ride. The high tide will enable us to ride this wave through the spring and summer until we are looking back at the summer of 2009 as one of the Best Ever!! Be on the lookout for information about upcoming events!! Time to crash!! Goodnight!!
Thanks again for your time and support!!

Happy Holidays???
Have we all started planning our holidays yet?? I know this is shaping up to be one of those years. Money is tight. Stress is rising both at work & at home. Most of us haven't even started Christmas Shopping. We don't have a single present for anybody yet. When are we going start?? How are we going to pay for everything?? How are we going to make it until 2010?? What can we do to stop from spiraling out of control??
Stop, Think and Plan!!! If you fail to plan, you plan to fail!! Take a few deep breaths, grab some paper and a pen. Now sit down and start to write some things down on paper. Just Brainstorm ideas like Your Shopping List, To Do List, Holiday Meals, etc... This will help relieve some of your stress, and prepare you for the hectic weeks to come.
We all need to take the time to come up with a Game Plan for the holiday season. Just like your favorite team has a Game Plan for their season, we need to come up with a plan of attack for tackling the holidays. We need to plan alternatives to our annual holiday travel arrangements, eating plans, exercise regimens, nutrition and supplementation. Everything will not go as planned this holiday season, it never does, so be prepared by having a Plan B as well as a Game Plan. I Know, I Know, this sounds like a LOT of Hard Work, but it really isn't. Get your brainstorming ideas for the entire Holiday Season down on paper and we will start working things out!! This will be an evolving project, so stay tuned!!
First and foremost, we need to address the annual gorge-fest we indulge ourselves with on each and every Thanksgiving Day. Find some interesting "lite" recipes for side dishes and desserts. Add more fruits and vegetables to the Holiday menu. (Fruit & Veggie Platters make excellent gifts if you are eating out as well!!) Drink lots of water. Stay away from the Alcohol at parties. (No nutritional value at all in Alcohol.) Remember to add broth based soup and salad courses to help you fill up on healthy foods before your main course. Keep away from the EggNog!! (Especially Uncle Joe's famous spiked version!!) Lets actually play football outside with the kids, instead of watching football on TV all day or playing Madden 2009. Handle leftovers with care. If the BIG Event is at your house, send extra plates of food home with freinds and family. If the event is at another house keep your doggie bag to a minimum. You can't eat what you don't bring home!!
Also, the College "Bowl Season" seems to last FOREVER, so don't get caught up watching the games or tailgaiting without a plan either. From now until the 2nd week in January there will be college footaball galore!! The same things hold true, have more fruits & veggies, drink more water and go light on the alcohol!! Remember these few tips and you can come up with a Game Plan of your own to battle the holidays. Let me know how things are going. WE will work on Thanksgiving's Plan B in the coming days!!

Tis the Season
Let the games begin!!!
This is the make or break part of our season team. It is now the time of year where we usually give back all the gains we made throughout the past months by overendulging in holiday cheer for a few weeks. Not This Year!!! We are not going to allow that to happen this year. We are going to do things differently this year. We are going to change our Game Plan. We are actually going to have a Game Plan!! We are going to write down our goals for this season. We are going to create a Plan to follow. We are going to plan out our meals and activies. We are going to participate in a Fitness Walk/Run/5K/Turkey Trot etc. We are going to plan on finding some healthy recipes to try and provide copies to our freinds and relatives for their enjoyment. We are going to try different activities like biking, hiking or skiing. We are going to try different exercise routines, as variation is the key to continued sucess. We are going to take our vitamins and supplements. We are going to train hard and eat right. WE Are Going To Suceed!!!!
