Happy May Day! And to celebrate: Cathe's May rotation. Today, was Tabatacize. I did the Tabata 1+2 plus core 2 premix. I need to add in more core work. I used to breeze through Cathe's core add-ons and I've slacked on the abs. The first week of the May rotation has several days of ab add-ons and...

Slowly getting back into exercising after being sick last week. Sadly, it becomes so easy NOT to exercise. So, I'm working my way out of that particular mindset. Picked up with the last week of the April rotation on Wednesday, with a break day yesterday. So, it will be Supercuts today. Laura...

Well--after not checking in all week, I am back. I woke up Monday morning with a terrible stomach ache and the gastro-intestinal system went down from there. It was all I could do to send an email to work saying I was home sick and walking Toby was a challenge but I managed. Gradually got better...

A cooler day here in Virginia--and very windy, but warmer weather is supposed to return tomorrow. As long as the temp stays above freezing, I'm okay with the occasional cooler/cold spring day in April. Today I did the Push/Pull premix from Muscle Max--kind of a heavy weight week this first week...

Working on the April rotation. Some days, I go for a premix, like today, depending on how my time is going in the morning. Ended up working at home today because we had storms roll in and traffic got icky. I always bring my laptop and work home with me just in case I-95 isn't moving in the...

Busy Sunday spent getting things done inside and outside the house, walking Toby, Legs and Glutes Standing premix, and a nice dinner featuring one of my favorites, pan-fried brussel sprout flowerets, with saffron rice, and baked chicken breast. Looking forward to a productive work week and good...

Happy Birthday Janie! I actually know three people who were born on April 1st. Crazy. Toby is taking a puppy nap after a busy Saturday morning. We are going to head down to Fredericksburg in a bit. First, we are going to visit Joe's son, Rob and his wife, Sarah. I found an envelope buried in...

This last week was very busy and cold. My muscles and joints were not happy about the cold--the joys of getting old. Took a break from working out Friday and Saturday and felt much better for it today. Did Bootcamp (first 4 circuits) from the Intensity Series today. Had a very long day...

So many emotional and heartfelt posts since I last sat down with you all. I am back to doing a Cathe rotation: the March rotation. It's nice to have Cathe make that decision for the day and I know that there is always an underlying logic to her rotations. After the first week, it seems like the...

A little bit of cold weather here in Virginia for the weekend. Feeling it in my left hip flexor today. Will be glad when it warms on again on Monday. In the meantime, just have to push through the cold. Toby and I had a nice long walk first thing this morning. Then I did ICE Bootcamp timesaver...

Doing ICE workouts this week. Monday was ICE Rock em Sock em (one of the timesavers), Wednesday, was ICE Triceps timesaver from RESE, today was ICE TMB blizzard blast and chest. Laura: it's hard being alone when you are not used to it. But it is good that you are seeing this as an opportunity...

Yesterday was ICE Metabolic Total Body; today was S&S Giant Sets Upper Body Timesaver. Both great workouts. Will do the Lower Body timesaver from Giant Sets tomorrow. Toby and I have a conformation handling workshop tomorrow from noon until 5. Looking forward to it. Laura: Sister is a an...

This past week was a whirlwind. Hoping this next week will not be quite as busy. Did Strong and Sweaty bootcamp rounds 1-3 yesterday; will do rounds 4-6 for my workout tomorrow. This month has been catch as catch can with my workouts. I didn't even look at Cathe's February rotation. Toby and I...

Got back Friday afternoon from a week at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. Not much exercise during the week except walking. Did manage to get in the hotel workout room to exercise on Thursday. Yesterday I did Body Fusion and today I did the upper body sculpt from the Basic Step dvd using heavy...

S&S PHA this morning. Took my sweet pup to spend the week with his doggie mommy and litter mates this week while I am on travel to Camp Lejeune. I hate being separated from him but I know that he is well taken care of and loved where he is. Plus, he gets to play with his brother and sister all...

Did a mix of CardioSuperSet Timesavers this week and Strong & Sweaty Ramped Upper Body. Today was LIS Athletic Training lower body premix. Toby and I did 6 training sessions this week. Monday night was obedience, Tuesday night was rally, Wednesday night was handling class, Thursday night was...

Cardio SuperSets Intervals 1-4 Timesaver workout today, plus a number of walks with my sweet boy. Question of the evening: will it snow overnight and if so, how messed up will the commute be in the morning? Lucky for me, I can opt to work at home if the roads are a nightmare. Guess I'll find out...

LIS CardioSuperSets Step Express timesaver workout today. Fun. Janie: hope everything works out at your beach house. Laura: maybe there is something in the air this week. I have had a few crying jags over the last few days as well. Michelle

Hi everyone. Sorry I've been missing the past couple of weeks. January has been a very busy month. Last week, I briefed the Commandant of the Marine Corps and he added more work to my plate. Toby and I continue to train and I am getting my licks in on the exercise. Will post more over the...

Happy New Year's Eve dear friends. The past 24 hours has been a time of mixed emotions. I ended up sobbing in my closet (it's the size of a small room) last night as I was looking at Joe's clothes. Took a while to go to sleep but eventually did. I did have a nice visit with sister and my parents...
