Apple does well!

Apple reported excellent earnings and went slightly higher than their all time high. That allowed me to liquidate the few 120 short-puts I had for a nice profit. And, it allows me to be a little more aggressive now that the market has shown strength again.

I had a terrificly hard leg workout last night. A friend of mine remarked that she thought the look on my face after the completion of each rotation was "priceless".

For reference, I've let myself get out of shape over the last 5 years. I was 190 and pretty fit and now I'm 240 and not nearly as fit. So, I decided to hire a personal trainer on June 11th and that has been working well thus far. They recheck your "stats" on a monthly basis and after the first month I had lost 2 pounds of fat. However, I gained 5 pounds of muscle so I gained 3 pounds! But, I truly felt a ton more fit, which I think is important.

In this monthly segment, I have been trying to eat less and my goal is to lose 4 pounds of fat and gain 1 pound of muscle. That will get me back to my original weight and then from that point, I hope to start dropping weight!

Peace be with you!
