The Secrets Out

Well here it is.  Dane bought a drone!  Yep we now own our own drone.  So as I shared in a previous post I came home the other night and Dane was being ultra sweet.  Cooked me an amazing dinner, cleaned the house, kept telling me how much he loved me.  Now I'm not saying he doesn't do all of these things but really it was a bit over the top so I knew that something was up.  That's when I asked him what he did and soon after I found out he bought a drone.  Well, said drone came in yesterday so we needed to take him out for his first flight.  It was super cool.  Here's a little video of me flying Solo!

Now Dane just has to come down to the barn and film Bella and I from the sky.  How cool is that going to be?  Hopefully Bella doesn't completely freak out about having a drone flying over her head!  Video to come soon!

Hubby joined the fun!

It was great today doing my workout with my hubby.  After playing with his new toy which is the "little secret" that I will be sharing with you in a post very soon, we got home and I still needed to push play and get my Cardio 2 done for my 22 Minute Hard Corp program.

Now I almost didn't do this workout tonight because I will say I was just plain ole tuckered out.  I had already ridden Bella and been to personal training and been outside with Dane playing with his new toy.  So when we got home it was late and I didn't feel like doing it but I told myself that if Dane said he would work out with me then I would do it.  So I went upstairs and asked him and he said yes and away we went.  It was actually a ton of fun working out with him and will say that I probably work out a little harder when he is with me which is really good for me.  But boy am I done now.  It is time for a shower and some tv and relaxation time.  I think I earned it!

Dog Sitting Joys

So this week we've had my brother's dog Ana with us.  He and his family are on a nice spring vacation.  This is our first time watching Ana and I just wanted to share what fun it's been to have her join us for the week.

Zoskia, my sweet needy doberman had a big sister when we first got her.  Kia was very attached to both myself and our adult dog Callie.  So, when Callie passed (the dog of my heart who will be missed everyday) Kia really attached herself to me.  While this can be very flattering it also is very unhealthy for Kia.

So enter into the picture sweet Ana. She is around 2 years old and needs a lot of activity.  When I got home the first day from work after she had been dropped off she was crazy!!  Crying and running around the house which in turn made Kia insane.  After I addressed Kia and calmed her down I then addressed Ana's behavior.  It took a few minutes to come down from the heights of crazy energy but she did and I was able to calmly pet her while she sat beside me.  My husband had run a few errands and got home soon after.  We then took the pups out for a walk.  Whew that was tough. Ana was super excited and just wanted to pull Dane everywhere.  We got the dogs to the area that is mostly enclosed and let them off leash.  They exploded with energy.  And every since that time Ana has been great.

I've taken her down to the barn and she has had playtime with the pups there.  She was introduced to the horses. (still figuring that one out, she thinks its ok to blast through the barn).  Once Ana gets a little exercise she is just about a perfect dog.  Now enter back into the picture my needy Kia.  Not so needy this week.  She has a buddy and is perfectly happy to play with her and hang with her.

Now don't forget this has to come full circle with my blog which is about health and fitness.  This is about fitness and exercise.  With the proper exercise the dogs are balanced and happy and healthy.  And if YOU get the proper exercise you can also be all of those things!

And the day starts with a wedding!

First I want to start the day off by saying congratulations to my very beautiful and lovely sister-in-law Allyn Rose on her wedding day.  No make that Allyn Oertel.  We were able to join her in this very joyous, and momentous occasion via Skype.  Got to love technology.  She married the very handsome Christopher Oertel in his homeland of Germany.  There is future date for a wedding that we can all attend in Germany for 2017.  

The wedding was on German time so we had to get up for a 5:30 AM to make it!  We all "dressed up"  At least the top half of everyone did.  I think my little hat thingy really pulled it all together for me.   It was very nice being able to see the entire ceremony.  I will say it was different that what I'm use to here in the US and I think I missed a few things in translation, but it was lovely and Ally looked so happy that I couldn't help but smile through the whole thing.  So again congrats to the Bride and Groom.

Now I wasn't quite ready to get up and at it after the wedding so I wiped off my lipstick and went back to sleep for another hour or so.  The furbabies really don't let me sleep past 7:30 so I was up and feeding everyone and getting ready for my day.  I am on week 3 of the 22 Minute Hard Corp program and today it was Resistance 1.  So I made myself an energize drink from the Beachbody Performance Line and pushed play and got it done.  It always feels great afterwards.  There are times when I just don't want to do it.  But every time I make myself push play and push through a workout I feel so much better. And I think it sets the tone for the rest of the day.

After having a good workout I took the puppies outside for a little playtime.  I am watching my brother's dog for the week and she and my Kia have really bonded and love playing and chasing one another.  Hmmm is it time for another dog?!  Then it was off to work for the day at the Spa.  I love my job and saw some new clients and some clients that have been seeing me for years and had a great time.  So in closing the day started off with a bang and just kept on going!

From sluggish to a fabulous day.

This morning I posted about my over indulgence yesterday from Easter causing some sluggishness.  And I wasn't sure if I was going to just lay in bed and enjoy a slow start to the day or get up and get it done.  If the photo above is any indication then you know that I got up and got moving.  I decided this morning that I need to do the cold start warm up for the 22 Minute Hard Corp before I really got into the workout.  This was a nice choice.  My body slow started waking up and by the time I started Cardio 1 I was ready.  So, I completed cold start, cardio 1 and core 1.  I will say that I felt much better after I got my workout done and it set the tone for the rest of my day.

I then went down to the barn and had another great and I mean great lesson on Bella.  There were a few funny moments in the lesson such as the time Judy told me to keep my hands down by Bella's withers.  I can't do that, my arms are to short and my torso is to long.  I tried to follow her instructions but then I had to stop and tell her I physically can't do what she was asking.  We had a good laugh because Judy has the opposite problem her arms are long and her torso is short, she would have found that very easy.  After we made a few adjustments for my body type things just got better and better.  So proud of my Bella girl for giving me her all again today.

After my great ride I ran to the store and bought a few things to meal prep for the week.  As you know from previous post I have really been on a salad kick.  Still on it.  And these salads are delicious.  I also decided to make cauliflower pizza.  I haven't made it in such a long time but it is pretty yummy.  So meal prep got done and I made the very yummy pizza (recipe in the recipe section of this blog).  Now I'm ready to sit down and relax with my hubby before we have a super early morning skypeing with his sister in Germany because tomorrow she gets married!!  So excited for her!  Wishing her the best here in the US!
