ShirLee...Feeling Good With Life Changes

It is so important that in today's world of fast foods, altered and instant varieties to match our hectic lifestyles, to take the time to eat good, balanced meals. My secret in losing weight was first determination, wanting to feel good, having energy and zest for life that I seemed to misplace through the years.

I eat 6 small meals a day in intervals of 21/2 to 3 hours and drink lots of water that I flavor with the 5carb flavoring available at any store.
It has been a very fun and rewarding experience and the pictures shows me in the spring of 2011 when I reached my weight goal and came down from a size 18 (Pictures shows pants size 18 I wore) to as size 6.
It was difficult the first two weeks only but I kept on the program determined that I needed to do something soon for my health and feeling good physically, spiritually and mentally. Once those pounds and inches started melting away it really got exciting. It is past a year now since I first started and I have maintained my weight and size and loving life to the fullest.
If you are interested in the program (I am not selling anything) feel free to contact me and I will send the link to the website where you can contact my weight-loss coach, which didn't costs me anything for his services and see if this might be the answer to losing that weight you have been wanting to shed this year!
This is one loss for 2013 you will be glad to have!!!!

Housing Outlook Key to Rent or Sell Decision

Evaluating Your Rent Vs. Sell Decision

 

The real estate climate forecast for the coming year is partly sunny -- and warming up!  Yet, with no double-digit appreciation in sight, some who plan on selling a home in Salt Lake City and beyond face the very practical question: is the winter of 2013 the right time to sell?

For those who stand to make a gain from selling, the decision boils down to convenience. Whether sale prices rise or fall, the cost of their next home will probably move in the same direction. 

But what about those who suspect that the overhang from the financial crisis will probably result in some degree of net loss? How do they decide whether it makes more sense to sell and take the loss, or to rent -- and wait? Emotions aside, the financial impacts can be examined. If you are considering selling a home in the Salt Lake City or any area in the US and don’t stand to make a profit, asking yourself some questions can help reach a decision: 

·       Can I afford to take a loss?  If you might need cash from your current property to purchase another, waiting is likely to be the safest course. 

·       If I have to take a loss, will there be a tax advantage to doing so in 2013?  If you expect to sell a business or come into any other form of extra income during this tax year, check with your CPA to see if this year’s the right time.

 

·       If I choose to rent my home, am I prepared to be a landlord?  Are you up-to-date on applicable federal and local fair housing ordinances and tenants’ rights issues?  If not, it’s practical to factor in the cost of a property management agency (usually 7 – 15%).

·       Am I prepared to wait it out?  If you decide to rent a local home and wait for the market to catch up to your profit goals, are you prepared to wait X years before selling? On-again off-again selling decisions can result in high tenant turnover -- which eats into your bottom line.  

Selling a home vs. renting it out is a decision only you can make -- why starting with accurate information is so important. I will be happy to meet for a confidential consultation on the value of your Salt Lake City home in today’s market. It is a very good place to start.
