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 legs will be having "it" this month. Toby and I continue to train. This past week, we had our first C-WAGS (Canine Work and Games) league at Pup 'N Iron. We are entered in Rally Zoom and Obedience level 1. The league runs for 6 weeks, every Tuesday night. We qualified in both classes, receiving an 89 in Zoom and a 90 in Obedience. Monday and Wednesday night are CGC prep and Thursday night we had our first agility class. For our first class, we worked on getting Toby comfortable with the low jumps and the tunnel. He really fought the tunnel but once he got through it, the lightbulb clicked on and I think he would have run around and through that tunnel all night. The lightbulb has not clicked on with the jumps but he got over them a couple of times. A fun class and looking forward to many more.
Shadowpup: you sure had alot to deal with. I'm sure just typing out that entry was emotional. I am happy that you still have Rapscallion and Pumpkin with you and that you and Clara (I could not remember her name) have maintained your relationship. I can't imagine having to go for three years in order to get through probate. I know every state is different and everyone has different situations to contend with for various reasons. Joe always believed that he would pass first and he/we had simplified as much as we could wrt planning and it worked out that I only had to wait 60 days to finalize probate. I still have a few things to change--right now I'm focused on getting taxes done and filed. Once I am finished with that, I will move on to the next thing. One of these days, Toby and I need to drive up your way to visit. You are so close....
Laura: as hard as it is for you to have your daughter away, I think Eliza is, in some ways, your testament to surviving and working through your grief for Sophia. We will miss you while you are in Africa but look foward to hearing about your travels upon your return.
Cindy: welcome back. We know when you are gone for awhile that it is because you are so busy with your family. Skiing is a workout for the legs, isn't it? I"ve never tried skiing. Mostly because I'm not a big fan of snow and cold.
Janie: how are things going? From your FB posts, you seem to be in a bit of a funk of late?

Shadowpup, it may be the beginnings of me with Alzheimer or the beginnings of my Joey being old and talking the part. We talk about a subject (any subject) for a long time in every imaginable way possible. And he is still not satisfied. He still has to talk about it more. Or is it me? Not sure at this point, but it's really frustrating. I keep thinking maybe it's Winters Blue/SAD. I don't know. Time will tell though. Ugh.
I know this has happened awhile ago. I'm so sorry about having to let go of your fur babies and make so many changes in your life. I can not imagine. But I feel for you and hope you can fine some peace and happiness.
Thank you for sharing your story, it's something that certainly is hard to talk about and even harder to live it. I wonder if there are people who support and love you and make sure YOU are OK. Are you going through this on your own? Hugging you through cyberspace as a friend and a concerned person.
Michelle, Yeah, I'm in a funk. I can't seem to get out of it. Maybe longer days will do the trick and Trump doesn't help at all.
Take care everyone, you are doing well on your exercises, just keep up the good work.

I'm in a bit of a motivation funk with working out, I have the intention but it just hasn't been happening. The 21 day Pilates challenge I'm doing at least has me getting that in and I'm thankful for it! I think it is a seasonal thing right now - even though our days are heating up and beautiful. I have to take Brodie to get an abscessed tooth pulled today so this afternoon I will get my Pilates and some cardio in since I'll have time!
Laura - Thanks, I'm pretty smitten with my little turkeys! What a fun trip, enjoy yourself and the wonderful time with your mom. Can't wait to hear all about it!
Janie - Longer sunnier days are ahead, get as much sunshine as you can!
Michelle - You and Toby are doing so amazing, how fun to be meeting all those challenges! Great job following the March rotation, I agree it's nice to have someone else decide what needs to be done! Skiing does work the legs and it's actually been pretty warm (30's) when we've been up so usually I'm sweating and trying to take layers off!
Keep up the great work ladies!

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 yesterday. Drove up to a reserve unit north of Philadelphia with two of my colleagues to conduct a round of focus groups for a study that we are finishing up. Left the house at 7am and got back home a little before 11 pm. One of my neighbors checked in on Toby during the day, took him for walks, and fed him his dinner. He has been sticking close to me today. Guess he didn't like his mom being away so long yesterday. Just glad to be home, doing things around the house, exercising, and spending time with Toby today.
Janie: I think the communication pattern that you describe with Joey is part of getting old together. Joe and I used to do have repetitive conversations. Sometimes it was a bit annoying but I will tell you that I sure do miss it now. Hang in there; hold on tight to your Joey; cherish the moments. The longer daylight time is something I think we all have been looking forward to. Hopefully it will help all of us break out of our winter doldrums.

Seems we all are busy and have been away.
I finished up the 21 day Pilates challenge and this week am starting to bring some AM yoga into my routine. Last night was RWH Low Impact Hiit 1, it felt good to sweat. Work was stressful last week and this week we have a lot going on with the kids' activities. Lily has started softball so we juggle with her there and Brodie at Taekwondo. They both are attending a local tournament on Saturday so that will be fun. I then want to go shopping for some roller skates after that, she has the interest and I figured I may as well join her
Michelle - I'm sure Toby was really missing you!
Hope everyone is staying active and doing well. It's spring here in Montana and I put some cold weather plants in the ground last weekend.

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 one of the kitchen drawers this morning, sealed, Rob written on the front in Joe's handwriting. I have no idea what is in the envelope. It could be something that has been there for years or something that Joe put in the drawer more recently. So, Rob doesn't know that I am bringing him the envelope and he doesn't have to tell me what is in it. It could be something silly and/or inconsequential or not. But I figure it is something that Joe did for a reason, so I will give it to Rob. I have a list of "things" to do that I've been putting off just because it's basically paperwork associated with "estate" stuff that I decided could wait until after taxes were done. I filed the taxes over two weeks ago, so I guess it's time to start going through stuff and dealing with things again. Sigh.
Cindy: seems like a long time since you checked in. Whose 21 day Pilates program did you do? Roller skating could be fun. Share with us how the skates feel and how your feet feel after the first time out. Must be that time of year for stress at work.
Shadowpup: I'm curious if your work routine is affected by administration changes or do things just stay on an even keel? I might be up your way for some dog shows over the next few months. If so, I will let you know and if your schedule is agreeable, I'd love to see you for at least a little visit. Alternatively, you could check out the dog show scene. Again, I will let you know. It seems silly not to try to get together once in a while when we live within an hour or so of each other.

Greetings my favorite Catheletes! and a big warm HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Janie!
Africa was amazing and being on safari and seeing theses magnificent animals in the wild was a spectacular experience. It was also nice to be totally of the grid for the better part of 17days and I found myself settling into a peace that I had not felt in a long time. I do truly believe that constant social media actually leads to a less satisfying sense of life. And I know I spend way to much time on social media even with enjoying having a forced social media fast I find myself right back on it checking it a ridiculous amount of times a day. I am thinking of deleting FB from my phone so that I would have to actually go to my computer to check it....but probably won't. ;I
While on safari it wasn't an option to walk as the camps are not fenced and animal danger is a real threat. I thought they were being over dramatic until the few times we did see lions they were literally 5-10 feet of the road in the bushes and if the guides didn't point them out we would have had no idea they were there. We had to be escorted to and from our tented cabins at night and at one camp the guides even carried rifles as they escorted us. That combined with lots of bumpy hours in the jeeps, boats, small planes and the LONG LONG pane ride over I came back in quite a state. So since I have been back I have been focusing on some very basic stretching, restorative yoga and pilates to get my body back into alignment. I have also done Burn Set Bi's and Tai's, Cardio Legs, and Low Impact HIIT from the Xtrain series.
Michelle maybe I will check out Cathe's March rotation or see if she has posted one for April

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 training and fun times with Toby.
Laura: quite the trip. So glad you had the opportunity to go and "unplug." It does make a difference being away from cell phones, computers, etc. Cathe has posted an April rotation and I'm going to give it a go. It would be great to have you join me.
Waves to Cindy and Shadowpup.

We didn't have any luck finding roller skates in town, the 2 used pairs we found were not the right size So we're ordering them online and they will show up Easter morning for Lily. I still need to find a pair for myself. Last day of ski was on Sunday and I did a Pilates Butt and Thigh workout. Last night was Zumba and tonight I'm planning Metabolic Total Body.
Laura - So glad you had such a wonderful time and found some peace. I love unplugging - and need to do it more often I think. Great job getting back into the workouts!
Michelle - I followed Robin Long's 21 day Pilates challenge, I did her 30 day challenge last year. I don't blame you for putting off estate stuff until taxes were done, too much paperwork! I love Brussels sprouts and have gotten my entire family (even Lucas!) to like them. Sounds like you have a great week ahead of you!
Janie - Happy Belated Birthday!
Shadowpup - I hope things quiet down soon

Sunday was Burn Sets Chest, Back & Shoulders and Rocking Party Step(double workout day)
Yesterday was a long walk and rest day.
Today a nice Pilates Reformer workout and planning on some type of cardio later...... maybe a premix for a shorter KB..
Cindy what did you think of Robin Long's Pilates challenges? Are they on YouTube? Maybe I will check them out to have a new perspective and I also need to ease back into Pilates after my long trip.
Michelle dinner sounds yummy. I will look at the April rotation

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 morning. I'm fortunate to have the option to work at home, unless I have a meeting in the Pentagon--and then that's different. Toby and I leave in a few for training. Tonight is CGC training. Last night was agility. We are loving agility.
More later.

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 of Cathe's April rotation. I'm okay with that--just opted for a shorter workout than the full Muscle Max routine. I am working with Toby on his FitPaws Peanut, teaching him how to do puppy squats. He is slowly getting the idea. I just have to watch myself that I don't over-rep him. Right now if I can get him to do 2-3 puppy squats in a peanut session, then I say victory and we move on. The puppy squats will help build up the strength in his back legs working toward getting him up on all four legs standing on his peanut. He seems to enjoy "working" on the peanut--his tail wags the whole time.
Laura: more power to you getting in those double workouts. I kow that you went back to school. Didn't you finish your program in the last year? What is next for you?
Cindy: the April rotation has a "free cardio" day each week. I'm thinking I might do Total Metabolic Body on that day this week--thanks for the suggestion.
Janie: How are things going? Did you have a nice birthday?

Thank you everyone for the BD wishes. Very thoughtful of you. I love reading it.

Wow didn't realize I hadn't checked in for a whole week! Last week I focused purely on cardio and Pilates .. I focused on KB with Rock Out Knock OuT and 4 DS KB and walks. I did a Reformer workout that made my abs so sore for days that I even felt my abs while driving!! It is interesting to note how much your abs do actually contract while Driving but u don't even notice it unless they are that sore!!!
Yesterday was Rhythmic Step
Today was a 2 mile walk and now I'm doing Pure Strength Back, Bi's & abs. I went through my DVD's and decided to dig out the oldies. I love to hate the Leg and abs in this series so Luck forward in a purely dreading way to that later this week!
Michelle so cute to think of Toby having DOMS from his puppy [emoji190] squats! That's awesome you can work from home if you need to.... weather has cooled off here as well but that's a good thing because it was scary hot and dry with fires [emoji91] in March! Not good. Today was a beautiful spring day in the mid to high 60's
Janey:
[emoji4] yay to working out! Did the storms calm down up there? Sounds like it was a pretty intense spring for the PNW

Hi [emoji1309]
Yesterday was Cathie's Greatest Hits timesaver premix (very tough & still 50 minutes long but it takes me longer because I take longer breaks to lower my heart rate
Today was that Pure Strength Legs & abs I mentioned being a work out I love to hate but today I really enjoyed it even though I still don't make it through all the hamstring presses ....and a yoga class
There was a fun thread on the Cathelete's FB page about who is the oldest Cathelete you should check it out because it's very inspirational

Sorry I've been MIA again! Last week I was battling a cold so I took it easy with walks during the day just to get some activity in. Easter was a busy whirlwind at the house and last night I got in RWH Low Impact Hiit 2 + abs 1, it felt great to get a good sweat on. Tonight I'll do another RWH workout just not sure which one yet
Laura - I like Robin's workouts, they are a good quick fix to get things moving again You can find her 30 day challenge on Youtube with 10 min workouts. You are killing it with your workouts!
Michelle - Toby is adorable, I love that he's doing squats! Keep those great workouts going!
Janie - Do you like the FitTower? I hope it doesn't rain too much on you!

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 through Wednesday and was able to work at home on Tuesday and Wednesday, went back to the office on Thursday. At first, I thought maybe I got sick from something I ate at my aunti's on Easter but I think it was a stomach virus that I picked up from my cousin and his wife (they had it the week before Easter). No exercise all week, except for walking Toby. Today was my first day back on the step with Cathe--just did Basic Step. I don't think I even posted Toby's good news: he passes his Canine Good Citizen test last week. I wasn't sure how the boy would do, but he managed to find his self-control and pass all 10 test events. We also did a dog show yesterday--no winner's dog. Still have lots of work to do to take winner's dog. But it was good experience and I enjoyed seeing and spending time with some good golden retriever people and their dogs. With the CGC done, Toby and I will be focusing more on our "dog performance" training: conformation handling, obedience, rally, nose work, and agility. Agility is our big fun activity--we both really enjoy it.
Janie: nothing wrong with another start. Just as long as you don't get to "finished."
Laura: Those Cathe "greatest hits" workouts are no joke--somehow she manages to piece together some of her toughest segments. Good on you!
Cindy: hope you are feeling 100 percent better after your cold. Were your kids on Easter break this week or last? The RWH workouts are some of my favorites. They really burn the calories and help rev the metabolism for the day.
Waves to Shadowpup: I was in Maryland (at the state fairgrounds north of Baltimore on Friday for the dog show). One of these days, Toby and I need to stop by and say hello.
