Blogging My Climb to Getting Ahead

Fri, 29 Aug 2008 20:00:16 -0500

Well, my license have been active for exactly one week to the day today. I've mailed out 9 postcards to FSBOs and I've sent 1 email. That's no where near the number of emails that I've sent to let family and friends know that I'm back in business. Yes, I did say "back in business". How so? I was in real estate from summer '04 thru winter '06. I had decent business and was making money but I didn't have my college degree; something that I've truly wanted since my very first day of college in January '02. So, I put my real estate career on hold to go back and complete my Bachelor of Science degree and I walked the line with 1200+ other students at Tennessee Technological University on May 3, 2008. I sacrificed, my kids sacrificed...my whole family sacrificed. And what did it take? Lots of patience and tons of drive. So when you think you've got drive, you better sit back, buckle up and hold on because honey, you ain't got nothing on me!!

Looking for motivated sellers and dedicated buyers to allow me to "drive" them to their real estate goals and dreams!

Curves for women's fitness - openings in Ooltewah and Brainerd

Fri, 29 Aug 2008 18:56:39 -0500

Chattanooga has over 10 Curves fitness centers for women that provide onsite trainers and anytime access to a full circuit training work out. Ladies can do a 30 minute session at their convenience, as often as they like. The recommended program is 3 times a week.

This week the Chattanooga Chamber of Commerce held ribbon cutting ceremonies for two Curves centers - Brainerd and Ooltewah.

The sessions give a full body work out for toning and aerobic exercise. Calorie burnoff can be as high as 500 for a 30 minute session. That is an amazing number of calories for 30 minutes.

The work out philosophy is to exercise a muscle group to exhaustion with a 30 second drill. The 30 second time stops short of the muscle break down that is important for building bulk, and gives the muscles tone and flexibility.

Chamber of Commerce ribbon cutting at Curves East Brainerd location.

Each 30 second drill is followed by a 90 second recovery period of jogging in place.

The Brainerd Curves location is under new ownership. Michael Reynolds took in July 2008 and has turned the center around.

In the photo the the right Patty Llewellyn is training a Curves member. Patty is a national trainer who came to help with the open houses.

The Brainerd Curves location is at 8644 East Brainerd Road in the Creek Plantation Village shopping center at the intersection of Morris Hill Rd and East Brainerd Rd, near Hurricane Creek subdivision.

Curves in Ooltewah ribbon cutting.

The Ooltewah Curves location is at 9203 Old Lee Highway, in the Bi-Lo shopping complex. During the ribbon cutting ceremony, several members came to run through their work out. Convenience is one of the best selling features of the Curves program.

Michael Reynolds is also owner of an award winning Great Clips franchise. I will post more on this later.

Congratulations to these two Curves centers.
