^^ Agree with this If possible do the CFA first, then MSF both will be critical in Portfolio Mgmt.

Yes and Yes. I have a MBA in Finance and it accelerated my career. After graduation, I did start out in an entry level job because I didn't have prior experience however I advanced/was promoted (pay raises included/bonuses) every year in my field. My pay multiplied 316% in the last 12 years....I would say it was WELL WORTH…

I don't care if it's free...if I don't eat it normally, I'm not eating it because it's free

Buy this book it's awesome and it is not very expensive. ~ $12 US Road Racing for Serious Runners It gives you all the training to help you bring up your speed. You will need to work on endurance and do some speed work. Endurance first (that means building up to running further than what is required for your fit test. Then…

Um...it is just a number, truly. Don't let it get ya down. I'm more fit and healthy now than I was at 20! Oh, I'm 44 and I do NOT let it SLOW me down. Again, I run, bike, swim and do things I never did at 20...just sayin'! :wink:

Does giving my husband a piggy back ride for 1 block count? I weigh 125 and he weighs 180.

Hemp or pea protein powder; they're raw and have no additives http://www.znaturalfoods.com/Protein-Powders

I am using Hemp protein powder and it has zero added sugar or anything else added to it. My husband doesn't like it b/c it turns your smoothie (or oatmeal) green; but I don't care and it doesn't have a "flavor"; so you taste whatever you're eating. I get it from ZNatural foods online.…

Best exercise to get rid of belly fat is to watch what you are eating...seriously. All the sit ups, crunches, planks in the world will not "remove" belly fat.

They gym doesn't have the arm bike? You pedal with your arms. What about ankle braces? I think they're around $25 a piece or maybe at Walmart around $17 they have velcro on them you fit your foot into and velcro around your ankle for extra support. A recumbent bike should put less pressure on your ankles, also; otherwise…

Yes and No; I run faster so my husband runs when I run but he runs 2 miles and then walks while I run my 5-13 miles. Weight training; he'll weight train with me but I'm usually doing the Tough Mudder Boot camp and he's just in the same room weight training with me. He WILL take over my stop watch monitoring so he can make…

You can't force him to eat like you want to eat. I lost weight eating like I wanted to eat and let my husband and son stick with what they wanted. You can do your thing and as you lose weight quicker (perhaps) and he doesn't see any changes...he may decide he wants to make some of your changes...but you can't force it.

Coconut Oil is considered a super food: Read this: http://thriveforward.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/03-Get-More-Bang-Ref-Superfoods-Hall-of-Fame.pdf "Coconut oil is rich in medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), a unique form of saturated fat that comes with several health benefits. Unlike other fats, your body digests…

bump; maybe I'll try when I get bored of my current workouts (I create my own circuit training programs)

Yes, I think it is rude to talk on your cell while at the check out. I also think it equally rude when I get a checkout person that ignores me, doesn't even make eye contact or speak as if I am not a person or chatting over me to their fellow employee the whole time...also rude.

Calipers would be the better method but if you don't have access to that: http://fitness.bizcalcs.com/Calculator.asp?Calc=Body-Fat-Navy http://fitbie.msn.com/fit_tools/body_fat http://www.healthstatus.com/calculate/body-fat-percentage-calculator Once you have you body fat %, subtract from 1, then multiple times your weight…

Uh no...that is 1g per pound of Lean Body Mass. You need to check what you body fat % is; I'm sure you are NOT 0% body fat

I'm sure there must be something..but I can't recall anything like what you're talking about, but then my son is 22 now so my memory of his tender years are long gone. :smile: He did embarrass us at every stop along the way moving from one coast to the other...if that's any consolation. He was 3 and in the middle of being…

You probably won't like mine, but here it is M-W: Walk 2 miles with my neighbor before work Swim for 45-60 minutes at lunch with my neighbor Circuit train 1 hour 15 minutes with another neighbor (I am training her) after work T-Th: Run; 40 minutes - 1 hour 10 minutes (slow, medium, tempo run or intervals) Fri: Walk 2 miles…

It didn't have to do with heart; I stopped dairy b/c of migraines though it turned out it wasn't a trigger however, I love almond milk now (I drink Silk unsweetened - 30 calories per 8 oz); I love it plain, in cereal, in my smoothies, and in my coffee. I did try soy milk for a while but it was hard to handle though I got…

Really amazing job!! Keep up the new life style!!

bump; mine is cr@p It rates me at 44, 47 while sprinting uphill and 220 while strolling (not always, but you get the point). MIO motiva petite

I think its down right rude. If a bride told me that I'd tell her where she could go and I wouldn't be part of her wedding and she would no longer be my friend. NO ONE is THAT special to tell me how much I should lose.

Because of where I was working, I had to look nice every day at work (business casual). I gave a few brand new suits/bras to a co-worker/friend, everything else went to charities. I bought a few items (2-3 pairs of dress slacks/3 blouses) every time I dropped a size because clothes bagging off you doesn't look professional…

We stopped going to the gym because of these very things...my husband go tired of seeing testicles on the sink, in the water fountain, etc in the locker room every time he went. He and our son used to play, hey look...and of course they were "oh, man...you suck...I can't unsee that". Anyway, we have a gym in our house now;…

My face always turns beet red when I run, work out, etc and to top it off...I cake sweat,...yes, when I finish my workout I am covered in all my electrolytes (in other words I look like I rolled in sand). That said...I do NOT care what others think of me. I go running and then go into the grocery store. I usually take a…

Gevalia (now sold at Walmart); I still order it online but between shipments I can pick some up at Walmart I also love Godiva (yummy)

What everyone else said....and here is a totally great website that will show you how to use the foam roller AND tennis ball, so get one of those too: http://www.athletestreatingathletes.com/body-map/shin/ You can click on Home to book mark it, but I gave you the link to shin....this site helped me a lot when I had hip…

My husband pickles them and then he adds them to boiled eggs for pickled beet eggs...bluhck! On another note...I saw this today on Thrive Forward (thriveforward.com) - I might even be willing to give it a try: Red Velvet Detox Smoothie WHAT TO USE ½ cup raw red beets, chopped 1 Tbsp cacao powder 1/3 cup raspberries (fresh…
