30 Day Shred Results

I finally finished my 30 day shred by Jillian Michaels! I took a little bit longer than 30 days... Sometimes it was just too much to do the exact same workout for the ninth time! I definitely like circuit training. It gives you more workout for your time, which is a good thing for me lately. Not much really changed measurement wise, but Anthony says he can definitely tell a difference in my muscle definition. Official results: Lost 1 inch off of my waist and 1 inch off of my hips. Body fat percentage went from 22.3% to 20.3%.

Next project: Making the Cut by Jillian Michaels. This is 30 day shred on steriods, with lots of circuit training mixed with high intensity interval training. I'll keep you posted on how this one goes :)

Weird Wildlife

Anthony came and got me today while I was working out so I could see this strange animal off our back porch: An albino squirrel!!! In the wild!! Here it is trying to "hide" from Anthony in a tree. Doesn't work so well when you are pure white with red eyes.

So here is a tally of all of the animals that have lived in or visited the Lagana Zoo: a ball python, a cat, three mother stray cats with their five kittens, a crazed opossum, a ferret, two stubbornly cute miniature dachshunds, a maltese-spitz mix, a 60 pound basset hound, and now an albino squirrel.

My new favorite pictures

My oh-so-talented sister took these pictures of my parents over the christmas break and they are my new favorite pictures :) I mean, I want to frame them and put them on my bedstand kind of pictures! I love this picture of my dad, I think it is one of the best ones he's taken in awhile. I just love my parents. Aren't they cute?

Back to School

This week was our first week back to school and it went pretty well. I feel a little strange going to class since I only have two classes (my last ones ever!!!!!) and all of my classmates have more. It feels like I am coming in the middle of something when I show up on Thursday afternoon having had two days off :)

Ant went to his first class of the semester on Tuesday and his first comment to me is that it is going to be hard! The class is pathophysiology and on the first day they went over 30 pages of the textbook, so he knows that it is going to be intense. I am proud to say that he has made himself a study schedule and has already locked himself away in our office for hours to try to catch up for next week. Who knew I would ever see that happen?

I started my practicum at Shands and even though I don't want to jinx myself by saying this, I love it!!! The people I will be working with are wonderful and helpful and the patients are great. I hope by the end of this I will have a better feeling of what exactly I want to do when I grow up :)
