Hey guys! How are you? School started this week. Tomorrow is "Meet Your Teacher!" I have been busy and stressed but after the first couple of weeks I always feel better. I can't wait to meet my little ones! My workouts have been good. I'm not sure I like Slow & Heavy. I couldn't stick with it but that may also be b/c I started Slow & Heavy right around the time school started so my workout schedule has changed a lot! I may have to save that for a summer rotation. Hope you two are going well! Have a terrific rest of the week!

Angela- I have not worked out all week. My business is just hopping, and I just can't seem to fit it in, and I guess I don't want to!!! I am going to start the new WW's program next week, and I am going to get back on it. My problem is I don't find working out "fun" anymore. This has really been bothering me.

My 12 lb. ShitZu, Rosie, dug up a nest of baby rabbits the other day. I called the Kalamazoo Natyure Center and talked to them about what ot do, and how to figure out if the mother came back. Well, she didn't, and I just could not let these babies die in my front yard. The one Rosie got did not even have its eyes open yet. There ended up being 3 of them, and I have been feeding them with a syringe and trying to keep them alive. They have warned me, rabbits die very easily, that is why they reproduce so much. Anyway, in a while qwhen they are able, I will let them go at my brother's. He has 10 acres of woods by me.

Hope you are well Randi!!!!!!

Oh Lori,
I hope the rabbits make it. I would have to do something too. I used to have a ShitZu named Otis. He was so cute and sassy.

I will not be working out tonight...too tired. I am adjusting to getting back to school and fitting workouts in. I may have to get up early next week at least 2 or 3 times to get a workout in. When I have to be at school at 7:15 and won't get home until after 6 I'm just too tired to workout. I will just have to play it by ear I guess. I am finding that every year teachers are required to "meet" more and more and have VERY little time to prepare for the children. Well...I'm hormonal right now so I will sign off. :p

Good Morning.....I am getting back on the program on Monday. I am going to start off with one of my old Firm Classics, and add a UB to it from Cathe. I think I will just do what I want for awhile, Cathe, Firm, SS, whatever. I did order Power Half Hours from Beach Body. I have read they are good workouts in only a 1/2 hour. I will like those to walk uphills on my treadmill, and follow with one of those, or vice versa. I have cut back to exactly 3 shows per week so I can manage my schedule better. I only have one next week, so it will be a nice change.

My rabbits are still alive!!!! I am shocked!!! Before my show last night, I stopped and got a little bottle at the Pet Store. I was using a syringe. They are eating so much better with the bottle. I feel so blessed GOD picked me to take care of these little guys. It is going to be hard to let them go, but I will do it. They are wild, and they are meant to be wild, and I will let them go. I will just enjoy them while I can!!!!!!!!!

Lori,
I'm glad you are finding a schedule that works for you. I will be doing the same thing for the next few weeks. I'm excited about the rotation I'm following. It has a lot of variety and I think I have found something I can stick to for a while. I have to be planned now as I have to workout when I say I'm going to or it won't get done. Next week is my first week with children so I will be eating a lot of fruit and balance bars as many years I realize I have not eaten lunch until the kids go home and then I eat everything in sight. It settles down usually after the first few weeks. I will also carry my water bottle around EVERYWHERE!!!!

This is what I've done so far this week:
S: PUB
M: PLB/CTX Kickbox cardio only
T: Imax 2/CTX LL abs only
W: ME minus abs
Th: Cardio(kind of a yuck workout-wasn't feeling well)
F: Rest
Today I hope to do BC and tomorrow Imax or Imax 2 then for this next week:
M: MIS
T: MIC
W: CTX Upper
Th: LL
F: Imax
S: C&W
Su: Rest
Have a great weekend!

Hi Angela....my rabbits are still alive!!!!!!!! Praise GOD!!!! There was one who would not eat well, but I finally got him to eat today. I am happy.

I joined online WW's today with the New Core Plan. I am going to try it. It really causes you to eat very healthy. The no counting, weighing, and measuring, I LIKE that approach. If something is not one the Core Food List, you have to count it, but it just seems to me like I will like it. We will see....it is day 1, and you know how I feel about dieting. I have gained about 6 pounds though, YUCK. But, the scale was not as bad as I thought it would be, so that was good.

I did one of my Firm Classics today. I did the one with Susan Harris. I was surprised at how sweaty I got!!! I must be turning into a wimp!!! I also did the UB work from ME. Tomorrow I am going to do Standing Legs and an uphill climb on my treadmill.

Lori
 
Hey Lori,
So glad to hear about your rabbits! Keep me informed about the WW program. I keep trying not to "think" so hard about my "diet" and going with everything in moderation. I may join WW again to lose but I find the hardest part is keeping it off. Today is my first day with students. It is a very exciting day but it is always a relief to have that first week over with! I have a two hour special ed meeting after school tomorrow so I'm toying with the idea of getting up and getting my workout done before school?! That would mean up by 4:45 so I can start working out by 5...yikes! But it would be so nice to not have to come home so late and worry about. I will be tired either way...tee hee!
Angela:p
 
How is everyone?? Randi, are you ever coming back??? I hope you are ok??

The arbbits are still alive!!!!!!! I gave them some whole food today, and they seem to like it. i HAD TO GO AWAY RIGHT AWAT THIS MORNING, SO i HAVE NOT WORKED OUT YET. i AM GOING TO WAIT UNTIL AFTER DINNER. i AM THINKING i WILL DO hsta. Sorry. I* hate it when I do that!!!!

Hope you guys are well!!
Lori
 
How are you guys??? I am well. My rabbits are still alive. All 3 of them. They are so cute, they have about doubled in size since I got them. I donh't know what kind of a workout I am going to do today. Feeling kinda lazy....Lori
 
Hi Lori!
I'm so glad it is Saturday. I am pooped! I made it through my first week of teaching. The children gave me no "honeymoon" period...tee hee! I really had to lay the law down on Tuesday so to speak and after that the rest of the week went much better. The children are learning how to make good choices and handle anger in an appropriate manner which means learning to handle consequences for their choices. I am so blessed to do something I love. They are going to do well academically too. I have a great little group this year!

Yesterday I was suppsoed to do Imax 2 and today I was supposed to do C&W. I will do one of them today as I was just too tired yesterday. I did pretty good keeping up with my workout schedule during this first week of school so I figured one extra day of rest was deserved and much needed. I'm enjoying the rotation I'm following now. It is a 3 weeker and it incorporates newer workouts with some oldie but goodies. There is a lot of variety and I can decide to repeat it again after the 3 weeks are up or move onto something else.

We are going to hang out with some friends tonight for dinner, a game, and a movie. I'm going to go ahead and bring my pillow as I ALWAYS fall asleep during the movie at their house. They have a big screen TV and they turn out all the lights and they have this wrap around recliner couch and during the school year it is just too dark and comfortable and I fall asleep almost instantly. Now why can't I do that when I'm going to bed during the week?!

I'm glad your rabbits are still alive. What a cool gift you've geen given! Have a great weekend Lori!

Angela- Congrats on making it thru the first week. Yesterday I did HSTA, plus the ub work from C&W's. Today I think I am going to do Firm It Up, and the cardio from CTX Kickbox.

One of my rabbits is dying. It is just breaking my heart. It is wheezing when it breathes, and it's whole body moves. I wish it would just die. I want to just put it out of it's misery, but I can not do it. I just keep checking on it, and holding it. I knew this would happen. The two ladies I talked to told me they die so easily, and if all 3 lived it would be a miracle, but I still did not want it to happen. I love those little things.
Lori
 
Have you taken them to a wildlife rescue shelter. The vets there could certainly be of help or perhaps take them to your local vet. Good luck.
 
I tried to get some one to rehab them, but the one lady of 3 that did call me back, was too busy to do it. She has been coaching me on how to take care of them. I have had them over 2 weeks. Louie died. I just went and buried him. I did not think it would be this hard. I just hope the other two make it until I can let them go. He never ate as good as the other two, and was always way skinnier. I hope he knows how much I tried.... Lori
 
Hi Lori, I am sorry about your little rabbit too. Take comfort in knowing that you did all you could do. Good luck with the other two.
 
Oh you guys, I have cried all day. It has been horrible. I let the other two go. Karen called me, one of the rehab ladies, and she said that they should be big enough to let go, so I did. I was just so scared one of them would catch what Louie had, and die on me also. I let them go at my parents. They have a huge woods, and a big field. They will be happy there. I can't believe how attached I was to them. I just keep thinking how much of an honort it was that GOD picked me to hand-feed this little creatures for 12 days and take care of them. It was a blessing. Well, I am crying again. Thanks for your kind words.
Lori
 
Hi Guys....Yesterday I did ME/BC bonus combo, and it was fun. Today, I think I am going to do the Gauntlet, and tomorrow The Viper. I lost 3.5 olbs. my first week on Core, but I also had TOTM on my weigh-in day, so that is why I dropped so much. But, that is ok, I will keep it. Hope you guys are well. I am off to Dallas Thursday morning for 4 days.....Lori
 
Hi Lori,
I did ME/BC Bonus combo yesterday also. It is a really good workout. I was so tired and did not finish until after 9 p.m. as I got a late start. Today I'm supposed to do CKicks or KPC but I kind of want to do step. Anyway, it will be a cardio day today. Take care in Dallas....talk to you when you get back.
Angela
P.S. Congrats on the weight loss!:7
 
Well, I am off to dallas. I am up for The Viper today, and then I have to pack!!! See you when I get back!
