    Really busy today so no time for a specific workout. Probably won’t tomorrow either as bunny is having an op and I’ll want to keep an eye once he’s home. I’ll make up for it Friday!

    Didn’t make it to my gym class last night. My bunny is poorly and we had to get her to the vets urgently. Feeling very sad this morning.

    Had a really busy week in the office today so didn’t have any time to exercise. Felt a bit sluggish, So made an effort to exercise more this weekend, did one hour of swimming. 8 laps of freestyle and breakfstroke, feel much better after the swim! :smiley:

    I was wondering if you got the same snow we did @2nelune , then I realized you were in Illinois. I live near Milwaukee, so it looks like we were blessed by the same snow.

    @lowjax75 - I just noticed this post now. Oops! Yes, it does appear we got the same snow. Now over the next 3 days it will melt with highs being in the 40s and low 50s here. :smile:

    I’m struggling. Life has gotten in the way this week (and last). Between having a super busy time at work, my husband starting classes again 2 nights per week, and my 3 year old not sleeping I’m not finding time to work out on weekdays. Any suggestions?

    I'm so, so sorry your bunny is ill. We've made urgent trips to the vet with both our dogs and it's so scary. I hope your bunny heals. <3

    I'm of no help but I can say that I feel very similar to you. I don't work, but my 5.5 month old's sleep is ERRATIC, she no longer can even be put down for naps so there is no break whatsoever, my husband has been sick, and I feel exhausted, frustrated, etc...

    Maybe one idea is to adjust expectations and shoot for even a 5 minute or 10 minute workout? (I should take my own advice! :D )

    Thanks @PNWBethany! I think you might be right about the expectations. I tend to go all or nothing...maybe I just need to be realistic and say that my goal for working out is 3 longer workouts a week and keeping my meals healthier.

    I’m sorry that you’re having a similar problem. I remember how tough it is with a baby. While mine wakes up, I just put him back in his bed. He doesn’t really need me like a baby needs you. I hope you’re able to get some rest soon and that your husband feels better.

    I managed 40 min of my pt session yesterday before i had to rush to the vet. We had to make the very difficult decision to put penny rabbit to sleep. I was lucky enough to share an hour of cuddles with her before and to be there in her last moments. Needless to say I’ve been a mess since and haven’t even thought about exercise today. I have booked myself into a sh’bam class tomorrow. I’m hoping some loud music and dancing will take my mind off it a little.

    @hannamarie0098 I’m sorry about your bunny. I can imagine how tough it is. Fingers crossed that your class tomorrow helps ease the sadness, if only for an hour.
