Today was a break day although it has not felt like one. Toby and I were up about 6:30 this morning and we rolled! First thing: morning walkabout. Next, breakfast for Toby. Then off to Walmart for me to get my shopping done. I was looking for a small zippered canvas bag to use in Toby and my...

Busy week. I did a really stupid thing on Tuesday. I work in a "secure" space, so the door is extra heavy and we have to badge in. Well, usually I stand to the side when I'm opening the door but I didn't on Tuesday and the door went right over my toes which were exposed because I was wearing...

Back to exercising today. I was only able to get in 30 minute walks while on travel last week. Today, I did Basic Step and Toby "helped" me. So, I'm trying to get Toby to "relax," lay down, and chill out in the same room with me when I work out. I'm starting with Basic Step and then we will go...

Sorry, I've been MIA all week. I was on business travel to Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island, SC. Got back last night; spent all day with Toby. I'm exhausted but just wanted to check in real quick to let you all where I've been. I'll be back with more tomorrow. Michelle

It was a busy week last week and here I am looking at the start of a new week that most likely will fly by as well. Did Cathe's Slow and Heavy weight work last week, mixed in with one RWH LIH cardio. Break days were on Friday and today. My back was not happy on Friday and slowly felt better over...

Yesterday was a break day and toay was Party Rockin Step 1--one of my favorite Cathe step routines. Toby and I spent alot of the day together walking, playing, or training. Toby's school was closed today so no class tonight but we will be back in class on Wednesday. Had today off for the Labor...

ICE Lower Body Blast today. Trying to get things pulled together around the house--cleaning out my closet and drawers of clothing items I don't wear anymore. I've got a bunch of stuff to take to Goodwill. Also staying very busy between work and training with Toby. Hope everyone is having a nice...

ICE bootcamp today. Feels like fall weather here in Virginia. Won't last. Supposed to be back in the 90s next week. But that's a typical September here. Hoping we get some rain from Tropical Storm Hermine. Otherwise, pretty low key. Took Toby to the groomer today and have take a number of really...

Last day of August--wow! It is still very warm here in Virginia but on some trees, leaves are starting to turn and fall--autumn is definitely coming even though it doesn't feel that way. The routine here pretty much stays the same: walk Toby, exercise, walk Toby, work, walk Toby, train with...

Another busy week over and a new week about to begin. Been doing ICE workouts. Yesterday was ICE Low Impact Sweat Cardio 2/Blizzard Blast/Icy Core 2; today was ICE Total Metabolic Body. Good training class with Toby yesterday morning. Had dinner at my cousing and his wife's last night. We were...

Low impact circuit cardio timesaver today. What a fund step workout. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Had a pretty good class with Toby this morning except that the dog next to us (pit bull mix) was not having a good day and kept growling at Toby. We moved away from him probably to the unhappiness of the...

Very muggy this morning so Toby and I shortened our walk. Once the breeze kicked up right before I left for work, it was much better. Got in the lower body blast premix on the Low Impact Step dvd this morning. Moving on to High Step Circuits tomorrow. Can't remember the last time that I did any...

Quick workout yesterday: total body sculpting from the Low Impact Step workout. No workout today aside from walking Toby about 3 miles over the course of the day. Just a very busy day--started work at 6:45 am--closed up the computer at 6 pm this evening. Just a little tired. Hope everyone is...

Another very hot day here in the mid-Atlantic. Early morning walk with Toby and then a second short walk at 9 am. We'll have to venture back out late afternoon and I'm not looking forward to it. Moved on to Cathy's Low Impact Step dvd this week. Today I did LIS and when I was logging my workout...

Where did the week go? I'm taking it down a notch this month, doing some less intense workouts. Between the heat, work, and training with Toby, I feel like I just need to give my body a few weeks at a less intense workout speed. So, this week, I reached for Cathe's Basic Step dvd. Did Basic...

Hi everyone. Sorry, I've been MIA for a few days. I was "taking a break" from exercise while Toby and I were at three days of dog shows in Salem, VA. Visited with my sister and we drove over from her house to the show every day. Toby and I managed to take second in our class and we are...

XTRAIN Tabatacize 1 and 2 today. Thinking I'll try to do 3 through 5 tomorrow. Busy week coming up so I'll be "winging it" on my Cathe workouts--going for short but intense. Hope everyone is doing well. Michelle

Just about finished with the ICE/XTRAIN rotation. Today was Hardstrikes, timesaver without conditioning drills. Tomorrow I'll do Tabatacize since I missed doing it on Thursday. Toby and I are having really good training classes of late. There were 19 dogs in class this morning which is ALOT. He...

Another hot day. Toby woke me up this morning at 5:45 am--throwing up in his crate: mostly phlegm and a piece of undigested bully stick. He seemed to immediately "feel better" but we were up and rolling. We took a short walk, then trained/played for about an hour, then took a longer walk. It's a...

Toby and I had a great training class this morning. There were 18 dogs in class--and with that many dogs, it can be hard for them all to concentrate but today every single dog did great. Toby and I have spent some additional time at training and playing and now the pup is taking a nap. Its...
