I've discovered a great way to avoid my obsessive study snacking. Study at a library that does not allow any food or drink in the building. They don't even allow water! Ok, so maybe I'm a little dehydrated, but at least I'm not sitting here eating chips and chocolate all day long. haha. The CPA exam is not good for my health

So, in that spirit, I go to spin class with my Becker notecards. I know this sounds crazy, but I figure if I can get a few things out of it, then it is time well spent…and multitasking at its finest! I also read through my notes and/or Becker notecards on the elliptical. These are about the only exercises I can do while studying–for me, anything else, and I would probably fall on my face.

August 1, 2011 at 2:08 pm #461157jomarieParticipantExercising went out the door for this testing window and the 8 lbs I've gained proves it. I've tried to study and workout but it doesn't work for me. So I said to myself I'll get back into working out when September comes along.
Started sitting in May 2002, on and off. But since 2008 I've been nonstop and my scores are....

here's a quick tip: fish oil… buy in bulk. costco.
keeps your joints, heart, and mind in good shape. i have bad knees, shoulders, elbows etc.. it keeps my joints for inflaming
i take 8 tabs a day… gonna up it to 10-12.
fish is brain food so I take fish oil and caffeine before I study and I eat fish and chicken all day.

for me, if i get fat and look like crap, i feel like crap, which adds on to the crappy feeling i already have from studying

August 1, 2011 at 3:01 pm #461165mla1169ParticipantRoach can I ask a personal and gross question? I have tried MANY times to take fish oil, but the burping just really kills it every time. I've heard there are caps that do not have that effect but haven't found them and have been too lazy to order them. Do you have a trick?

August 1, 2011 at 3:19 pm #461167kb24ParticipantI'm the queen of knee pain having had 6 surgeries on my knees (3 on each) with the most recent being last fall to remove torn cartilage. As a result of all the surgery I have quite a bit of stiffness and pain. Two things I've found that help are supplements to reduce inflammation levels that I order online. One is a combination of alpha lipoic acid & acetyl l-carnitine HCl (vitacost) and the other is zyflamed (Amazon). While I still have some pain, it's much better than before.
I've seen burpless fish oil at Target. I've never tried it because I don't have the problem so I don't know how effective it is.
