Kassia- Donna / no buy challenge

[Guest guest]

Hi Kassia!

Very well said! You know exactly how I feel - half

the time the 'rush' comes from buying something new

not necessarily b/c you want it but you want just

something that is new/different - know what i mean? I

am going to sign up for Netflix, I think it will help

out both me and DH. For instance, DH bought seasons 1

& 2 of The Office, I know we'll never watch them again

- so Netflix would have been perfect for that, and if

we had the urge to watch again, we can always borrow

again. Same for workouts.

I said I would do this in 2007 - make a list of what I

really want and " save up " for it by not impulse buying

- and I didn't do so well, but I'm determined to make

2008 better in that regard. I know I do want KV's

Foam Roller Kit plus her add-on new DVD and that is a

bit pricey so I need to " save " for it by not picking

up lots of other stuff just b/c it is there and I need

the " fix " of having something new. Geez. If I want

something new, I just need to go to my virgin pile!

LOL!

I also do eventually want the new TransFIRMation

FIRMs, and I'm holding out for them without the

weights. I hope they do release them separately at

some point. And, I Would like my own copy of P90X and

P90X+ - although I may scout the trades or ebay for

the individual P90X workouts as I'm not sure I need

the whole kit -just the ones I really liked, which

are:

Plyo X

Core Synergistics

Legs & Back

Shoulders & Arms

Kenpo

Cardio X

I don't have a strong desire to have the Yoga one or

the Stretch one or Ab Ripper X.

I still haven't tried Chest & Back, but I have a sense

I won't have a need to have an hour long

push-up/pull-up workout. I also still need to do back

& biceps and chest, shoulders & triceps. I'm sure

I'll like those well enough to want them.

Sorry to go off there!

And, I really don't mind your postings about sales at

all, in fact, I may order something from Mindy - she

has a few kids videos and my DD said she would like an

exercise DVD for Christmas. I was thinking of getting

the Kids walk for her, but a few of Mindy's

sound interesting! I may also cave and buy one BOSU

workout, just b/c I feel like I need to use the darn

thing more! LOL! I did talk myself out of the gliding

workouts b/c then I would have to get gliding

discs....

Take care!
