Life and stuff

I continue on my adventure to better myself both physically and mentally. I have tweaked my workouts and have added in some kickboxing. The kickboxing is theraputic for my hands...which really suprised me. I enjoy the class for both my physical agility and my sanity.
Recently I became a grandmother to a gorgeous baby minpin. Her name is Miracle. She was an emergency c-section baby who was not supposed to live...hence the name.
I am continuing with my classes and getting closer to my BSM degree. I am also looking into getting a certification in fitness training. I am still pending retirement from my old job and it is not looking like it is going to be an easy road. I think that the economy has alot to do with it...it and shouldn't.
My sister left for Milan on Monday...I am so excited for her! I just read her first blog and by the post and pictures she is having a blast! I am very proud of her.
Well, that's all for now-until next time!

Week 1

Today marks week one and I think I did ok. I am doing the turbulence training body weight intermediate workout. I had some issues with the leg excercises because my knee is still unstable even though surgery was a year ago this month. For now I try to do all three sets, but if there is pain I just move on to the next excercise. I did notice that my appetite has increased, especially at night! I have been trying to keep the carbs moderate, and the protein up, and of course tons of water.

On another note, I had to take my male minpin (Oddie) to the vet to get neutered today. I think that the Doctor thought I was crazy....I started crying when they put in his cage and gave him a shot. I insisted on staying until he fell asleep. I told the doc to cut me some slack, my minpins are like my kids. I have to go and pick up at two. Our newest minpin (Snoopy) is going in tomorrow.
