    I just finished the California Ethics exam today….wow! That test is no joke. It took hours and all 3 tries to pass it (90% required) 🙂

    Got my final grade for my final class today, an A-. hooray. Now my days of waiting to be graded are finally behind me. If all goes well I should have my license end of March, beginning of April.

    @agnie yea, make sure you set aside a few hours to do it. Once you get your initial score, if it's not over 90%, they'll tell you where you should “study more.” This helps to narrow down incorrect answers. The .pdf is about 300 pages, so definitely get that so you can use the search function (but don't over rely on search or you might miss some facts). Hope that helps!

    Thanks guys 🙂

    @agniechaCPA2011 – Well, all I had to do was change my eating habits. I already worked out 3x per week for 2 hours because of roller derby, so I just cut my calories down to around 1200 per day. Sometimes I get as low as 800 calories in a day, which my doctor said is fine as long as I'm taking a vitamin and having frequent checkups to make sure I'm losing weight in a healthy way.

    I guess my tip is, find something that you love to do that is active. That way you'll make it a priority because you love it, not just because it makes you healthier. I have a really hard time getting into the gym… but I always make it to derby practice. Also don't buy junk food at all. I don't even allow it in my house. I eat almost the same thing every day since structure helps me. In the morning I have a shake made of half a scoop of chocolate whey protein powder plus half a cup of a blend of frozen fruit, then for lunch I have a frozen lean cuisine or something along those lines (usually around 230-280 calories). After breakfast and dinner I'm usually at around 400 calories. For dinner I have a small dinner and a glass of red wine. I wasn't willing to give up wine. 🙂 Dinner is usually something like pulled chicken with a veggie or cheddar cheese.. something small.

    Also I log all of my food and exercise at loseit.com. That site is awesome.
