hard work and sacrifice

hard work and sacrifice don't always pay off, but they pay off more often than laziness--unless you were born silver spoon in hand.

it's crunch time for the new gym space and stress has set in.  we are busy.  fining the balance to do everything while having family time and continue to be the best mom i can be has been a challenge.  today, the baby went to daycare for the first time.  i was sad, but i know she had a blast and i got a lot done at the new gym not having her there. 

our space was once a dog training facility and to say the former tenants were unkempt is such an understatement. every single surface in our space needs to be re-covered or re-painted, this is going to get expensive and very time consuming (i spent over an hour cleaning one set of french doors so that i could paint them). 

sacrifice: 
steve is working a full-time job, coaching at the gym full-time and working on the new gym every chance he gets. 
i have put my real estate license on referral only and i have given up the role of stay-at-home mom
we have decided to move into steve's old house that we had previously used as a rental house---downsizing is again, an understatement. 

tomorrow i'll get a few before and after pictures for a more tangible post, but tonight i'll leave you with a couple of quotes that i find very inspiring:

"Worry is not a sickness but a sign of health. If you are not worried, you are not risking enough." -anonymous
 
 “Play the game for more than you can afford to lose… Only then will you learn the game.”-winston churchhill
