Still cool, breezy, and drizzly here. Toby and I went to puppy kindergarten this morning and now he is napping. Saturday morning is puppy socialization (aka playtime) with training mixed in. All the puppies sure needed to run and play given the continuous wet weather that we are having. My back...

So for some reason my lower back is not completely happy. Walk up yesterday with a sore back and it continued today. I can't recall doing anything that might have tweaked my back this week. In fact, I did yoga relax on Tuesday morning. It might be a delayed stress reaction from all the craziness...

A nice, dog-filled Sunday. Lots of puppy walks, some puppy training, and puppy play-time. Did LIS Low Impact Challenge Premix 2 today. About half way through felt a twinge in my left hammy. Took a minute to stretch and walk it out and then I was fine. Thank goodness. Had a little rain this...

Low key rainy (off and on) Saturday. Toby and I had puppy kindergarten this morning, came home exercised (LIS upper body split, back, biceps, and core), then after getting cleaned up, Toby and I went back to Pup n'Iron for their 10th anniversary party. Toby did very well meeting lots of...

Boy--there just aren't enough hours in the day to do everything--very busy again today. This morning Toby and I had a nice 1.5 mile walk, then after my Sunday morning phone call with my mom, Toby and I did some yard work. I raked leaves and he jumped around in them. Then we took another short...

Very full Saturday morning with my pup: he played with his best buddy Rex, then we went to puppy kindergarten, next to Petco, and then to visit some friends who own a nursery. By the time we got back home, the pup was quite tired. After lunch, he took a nap and I did some ironing and...

My work pace has become much better and this is turning into a very nice month. The weather is cooler in the mornings and evenings but it is still warming up nicely with little humidity during the days. Toby and I walk about 3 miles a day--not all at one time, but we are getting some good...

Took another break yesterday--too much college football and puppy walks. Today Toby and I did a 2 and a 1/4 mile walk this morning and 3 more 1/4 mile walks so far today. Also did LIS Total Body Trisets Chest, Shoulders, and Triceps premix. Been a very nice, relaxing weekend. Looking forward to...

I've decided to do LIS for at least the next week. Kind of feelilng at odds with my workouts. Did the first 34 minutes of Step Jam on Tuesday morning and IMAX3 intervals only on Wednesday, break day Thursday, did Afterburn today. Not sure which LIS workout I will do tomorrow. But I don't need...

Hi everyone. I'm enjoying a nice relaxing weekend with my DH and Toby. Took a break day yesterday--walked with Toby, watched college football, and took a nap! Today I did Basis Step and Stability Ball Abs--just enough to break a sweat. I'm thinking that maybe the way to teach Toby to chill...

Quick checkin. Did stretch max #3 with the band yesterday and Rhythmic Step today. Goodness. My feet and legs are tired now. Janie: The wedding video might be on my exercise agenda for tomorrow. I always forget about that one until you mention that you've done it. Thanks for the suggestion...

So, I'm doing "light" cardio this week and hopefully will mix in some yoga/stretching. Monday I did 4DS HIS cardio only premix, yesterday was another break day, and today was 4DS LIS cardio premix only. Toby and I continue to walk, walk, walk. We do our longest walk in the morning which runs...

So I ended up taking a rest day yesterday. Toby and I walked about 5 miles over the course of the day, so not a complete rest day. Today I worked at home, got alot done. Did Higher Intensity Step/Cardio only from 4 Day Split. I feel like I need a recovery week after Cathe's August rotation. I...

Just got in from taking Toby for a short walk and a play session with his springer spaniel budy, Rex. Had to spend a little time cleaning Toby up since he manages to get dirty during his play sessions. Just about have him looking all golden again except for around his neck. Will have to do a...

Quick check-in: did Cardio Leg Blast and STS pilates abs today. Just about done with Cathe's August rotation. Boy--where did the month go? Toby went to the groomer today and looks so handsome now. I'm going to get some pictures and post them on FB. Right now, the pup is pooped and napping; he...

Another very busy week. Gosh, August is almost over. Where did it go? Monday was Lean Legs and Abs; Tuesday and Wednesday were very long work days so my only "exercise" was walking Toby--thank goodness for my pup. Today, back to normal schedule--Toby and I walked 1.6 miles this morning and then...

Been a busy week, for sure. I managed to get all my workouts in except BodyMax 2 on Wednesday. I think I might do either the cardio or weight portion of that today along with one of the Yoga Relax premixes. Yesterday was DrillMax. Holy moly! I have not done drill max in a long time and after 75...

Toby and I did the "long walk loop" this morning--it's a little over a mile and a half and it took us 1 hour and 15 minutes to walk. Way longer than it should be we are still in stop and go mode and I'm trying to keep him walking on my left side. So we keep on walking and working. It is very...

Coming up on the end of the 2nd week of Cathe's August rotation. Yesterday was GS back, shoulders, and biceps; today was S&H legs plus abs from S&H bi*tris. Thank goodness tomorrow is a yoga day. This morning also was puppy kindergarten, and that was after an hour walk with Toby, and about 20...

I just delivered a two volume report to the Marine Corps so I'm celebrating by checking in. I'm into week 2 of Cathe's August rotation--focus seems to be on legs this week and I'm feeling it, although the upper body GS workouts are keeping me mindful of the upper half as well. Toby and I are...
