Ted Lilly an All-Star

Haven't been giving Ted Lilly updates but he has pitched well enough this season to be the lone representative from the Cubs at the All-Star game. Congratulations, Ted Lilly.

Moving out

I might have to move back out when I find a full-time job.

Life plans

So I moved back to my parents' house in Bayside this past Monday. I've been thinking about it and I don't think I'm going to move out until I move in with a guy to marry, if that ever happens. I lived on my own for five years and I had some fun, but living at home will allow me to save money to buy an apartment in central Manhattan and that's my next goal in life. I've already achieved my goal of getting a CPA for my career. So I'm growing my tax business and living in Bayside for the foreseeable future.

I think Guga died for a reason and his life with me would have prevented me from living with my parents but with him gone I can stay here as long as possible.

I was thinking of applying to grad school for an MBA but I don't think I am. I am done with school. I will make do with my master's in accounting and CPA licensure.

How low can I go?

Wow, I just weighed myself after a 6 mile run and I'm down to 92 lbs! I've been eating a ton too. Like for instance, today I had pad thai for lunch and leftover pad thai for dinner. I'm going to get some breakfast foods so I don't pig out on Sausage Biscuit with Egg from McDonald's (had it twice this week). Maybe some cream cheese, yogurt and bagels.

My running coach told me I have to keep a food journal so I have to start eating breakfast on a regular basis.

I think once I hit 90, I'm going to stop the slide downwards. 89 is unhealthy.

No more soda

I think I am going to give up soda for a month and see if I lose more weight. I am at 94.5 lbs. My target weight was 95 lbs so I've already achieved that.

I love Pepsi though so maybe I should go to a raw food diet and give up meat and see if I lose more weight that way.

Personal Trainer Part Deux

I'm thinking of becoming a personal trainer again. This time I will take the ACE Fitness Exam next March 2010 and then take the USA Triathlon Coach Level 1 Certification next April 2010. Then if I still can't find an accounting job when my unemployment runs out in February, I will go to Equinox and apply again to become a personal trainer.

On my swimming progress, I can now swim for three or four breaths. Definite progress. I think I can compete in a sprint triathlon next March. I just have to find out which one to register for.

RIP Guga

It's been almost a week since Guga passed away at 2:30pm on Saturday May 23, and I am still grieving. I really miss that happy little face. I don't know when the pain will go away.

Race #5

I ran the 3 mile Wall Street race tonight. It was race #5. Halfway through my race qualification. Going to try and finish my 9 races + 1 volunteer by the end of June, before I move back to my parents on June 29. I am going to run 10 miles on Saturday and if I successfully complete that run, I'll run the Brooklyn Half-Marathon on May 30.

A guy who was running the race talked to me on the train ride down, but I wasn't so talkative. I don't like talking to strangers, I find.

Yay!

I am down to 96 lbs. One off my target weight goal of 95 lbs. I think it's the spinning classes I've been taking.
