Once again, muscles hurt so much because I worked out too hard.
I ran 5 miles in one hour - slow to some people - but good for me. Just three months ago, my cardio fitness had slipped so much I couldn’t run for 10 minutes straight. So I’m delighted.
I’ve lost about 9 pounds since January, but I’m not working out every single day.
I don’t mind rest days but this is day II and my muscles still hurt. My next goal is to reduce caloric intake.
I’m one of those people who can inhale a box of ice cream in one sitting, so it’s important.

How I did it: I did one or two boxes a week so I could balance unpacking with everything else. Also bought a huge book case and two filing cabinets which helped a great deal. Unpacking requires that you organize. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I found voter registration forms online at both google maps and the local city hall Website, but I also found them at school, so I just picked one up there and started to fill it out. However, I didn't realize that I needed 1. a stamp and 2. the address for the city's registrar of voters.Since I just moved, I don't have a local telephone book, so I went back online to get the address and finally mailed it in yesterday. Whew. It was just i… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I was the first in my working class family to finish college. To get good grades in high school, I skipped almost everything but school work, extracurriculars, and a part-time job (so I could buy new clothes and makeup, girlie stuff).I spent four hours a night on homework and did every extra credit assignment I could squeeze in. I also began reading additional books, such as those by literary critics and social scientists, to help me unde… Read how I did it…

I just took my first tax class.
This is going to hurt.
I feel like the professor doesn’t want me to keep up - he rushes through the problems. We have some financial professionals in the class - so they already know everything.
This is something that I’ve always wanted to learn about.
I wonder if I can do it?
For this semester, I plan to start my outlines the first week of class and read the material three times before class. It will be a lot of work but I really want those grades.
