Saturday...

Things have been going well on my end, I've put on 5 lbs, healthy weight (lean muscle, body fat). First time in my life I have put on weight from working out, and I'm sure the near perfect nutrition helps too. Today I have to do a machine workout, keep things going.
In other news, I bought a bike (as it's great for exercise, and I'm a pedestrian) from my brother who used it 2x and gave it up (Brand-New 2 years ago, very expensive). It's a 24-speed Brodie mountain bike... no idea what kind of rep Brodie has, but my brother always buys high quality stuff, so I'm certain it will last a long time. Having not been on a bike in 10 years, it was interesting haha. There's a decent size hill at the end of my street to the right, and I biked up that - I have a much easier time jogging up it than biking it! Honestly I could do a 3:1 ratio of jogging:biking. Since I have a larger bike now, I am required to ride on the road, which is nice and fast. Although I'll be doing road-biking for a while, I intend to make use of the trails in Peterborough this fall, and since Peterborough's winter is comparable to Britney Spears conservative fashion sense, I should be biking nearly everyday. I sent the bike to a local shop for a tune-up, and have to get a few things like a better seat, a helmet, a light, and some reflective clothing for the Fall. Although costly for accessories, the bike came at an incredible price, so I'm still ahead. And like all exercise equipment, it is an investment, it's not a pack of gum or bottle of pop.
Went to the trainers this week, and he complimented me on my progress / posture / overall appearence, which considering he is tough as nails is comparable to the President handing me his security cards for a day.
The weather's been great, I've been jogging lots and working out tons, and FINALLY I am not alone while jogging at night! Other people, particularly female are out and about.. Earlier this week I had the choice of eather to stop and talk (she was walking, I was jogging by), or continue jogging, and since I was making excellent time I continued to jogging. However, next time I will use another part of my anatomy to make the decision, and I'll tell you how the conversation goes.
Not sure if I mentioned recently that I got accepted into Fleming Residence, but nevertheless I'm still excited. There are several pro's, and only a couple con's to the shift in accomodations, so it will all work out.
Financially, things are changing, I applied for a credit card again, and this time have more confidence that I will be accepted. I tried online, and they rejected me, then I went in and said I could provide 'security', which is 120% of the maximum credit I wish to receive, so it should help my acceptance. I'm only asking for $500.00, the bare minimum that they offer, if there minimum was $100.00 I would have asked for that. Basically the rationale behind this borrowing, is that I need to build a credit rating as I'm in my mid 20s now, and I've come up with a couple monthly payments I can throw on there that will be maintenance free. Out of all the people I know, I'm probably within the top 3 for money management, so maintaing a credit card should be easier than feeding myself.
Now I'm going to contact a few friends, see what can be done this weekend while the weather is great, maybe set something up for tonight/tomorrow. I have to work this afternoon, but only for a bit. Cheers,
