How many of you are keeping fit while studying? I was doing well until this last testing window. I don’t know if it’s cause tax season was thrown in the mix or what. But I told myself tomorrow a new day, a new week, and a new month for a new me!!

Started sitting in May 2002, on and off. But since 2008 I've been nonstop and my scores are....
AUD - 39, 48, 56, 65, 68, 73, 76!!! (Finally passed in Oct 2011!!!) Becker, NINJA, & Wiley
REG - 75 (Lost Credit) 72, 68, 73, 75 (Passed again in Aug 2011) Becker, NINJA, & Wiley
FAR - 65, 68, 75 (Lost Credit) 68, 73, 73, 80 (Passed again in May 2012) Roger, NINJA, & Wiley
BEC - 65, 68, 71, 72, 72, 71, 76 (Lost Credit)- 70, 76!!!! I AM DONE!!! - Roger, NINJA, & Wiley

I try to run at least 4 days a week in the morning. Not only does it keep me in decent shape, it gets the brain up and working, which is essential for non-morning people like myself 🙂

I do do push ups and other exercises until I puke out FAR answers.

I've been terrible at working out since studying. I was a pretty serious lifter until I started studying. I've lost like 15lbs in 6 months. 🙁

NIU CPA Review Correspondence is awesome!

I passed all four sections on the first attempt

Get the NINJA Audio. Work out and learn at the same time!

I went from riding my bike 200-300 miles a week to not riding at all over the summer while studying. Consequently I gained a lot of weight. Now that I have my free time back, I'm back to riding my bike and hitting the gym.

I went from running 5 miles a day and bartending/waitressing to sitting on my A** all day and running once a week if I'm lucky 🙁

With working full time in accounting and having to commute an hour to and from work, it has become pretty impossible. I'm attempting to run every other day, though, so we'll see how far I can get before I decide to turn around because I have too much studying to do…

F - PASSED (11/26/11)
A - PASSED (1/14/12)
B - PASSED (7/14/12)
R - PASSED (8/31/12)
Ethics Exam - 95 %

Just waiting to be able to put those three little letters behind my name...

I've definately gained a few lbs. Sucks! However, I'd rather gain a few pounds and study my butt off than make less time for studying and fail. =/

@CPATerminator

Kickboxing is hard, you should have tried boxing first 🙂 however, any sort of sparing is good for stress management.
