Late night again. I want to brag on my Mickey. He passed all his milestones so he moves up to another class. 😁. He’s done so well with training… tho still tests my patience at times 🤣. All part of the process, I suppose. I still think he looks like a grumpy old man 🤣

Gotta make this quick. Already 11 pm😖😩. On a walk tonight and trying to get a selfie with Mickey.

Meal prep several adobo seasoned chicken breasts, opened can of seasoned black beans and made Mexican seasoned rice. I know doesn’t look appetizing, but added Greek yogurt and salsa and it’s a great balanced meal. 😁

Working on arms and back this morning…ugly faces were made 🤣. Okay. Night night 😙

I did manage some pics this weekend when took Mickey paddle boarding. Going out was good and he did so well. Coming back into the dock wasn’t fun. Going against 6-8 mph winds and gusts up to 18mph. And against the current. We were on the river.

Good evening 😘. I thought the rains were done when I decided to take Mickey for our evening walk, obviously not. We both ended up soaked by time we made it home. That’s okay sometimes it’s good for your soul to walk in the rain. 😄.

I seriously wonder what people think of me when i walk in someplace. Took the company car in for service at the dealership. I swear so many guys were looking at me. I’m wondering if I’ve got TP trailing behind me or 3 heads🤣. Or do they just never see women with muscles 🤣? I’m clueless! Good night 😘

I was a lady in red today 😄. I am feeling better day by day. Training class with Mickey tonight. He passed another milestone so 2 more and we advance into the next class. I’m hoping it’ll be n Dr wee! Off to bed. Night night 😘

Yes, I’m still here. I know. Was sick all weekend and spent it all on the couch relaxing. I know I needed it, but feels like I wasted an entire holiday weekend. Mickey still expected his two daily walks. I got a stare down and grunts until I relented 😄🙄. Thankfully he also kept me company sleeping all day too😄. Hope you had a good weekend 😘

Despite waking up feeling the beginnings of getting sick, I worked my abs and ass. Whatcha think? Am I doing well😋?

Have a happy and safe holiday weekend 😘

I’m putting yesterday and today’s pics in this post. Took Mickey paddle boarding yesterday and I’m pleased to report that his down stay once on the board was much easier and he didn’t feel like he was being pressured 😄. I brought treats and simply asked for a sit, then down stay. Off on the water we went. Only one correction for getting out of the down position. He just needs to understand that no matter what is happening he’s not to get out of the down stay position. He got to have his zoomies in the waters edge. He’s not a fan of swimming so we’ll be working building his confidence to swim. He was so relaxed and chill on our way back to the dock that I was able to stand up even on the slightly choppy water of the river. I was extremely pleased with him and his progress!

Classes are a little better each week and we work on training 10-15 min most days at some point. Eventually he’ll get what is proper behavior while out in public which will be fantastic because then I can take him places without him being a nuisance! Eventually I’d like to get him trained off leash with reliability! All in due time😁

Got Mickey on the paddle board was the super easy part. Hardest part was getting him to down or even sit…force was used😬…just pulled leash down and pushed his ass until he finally did. 🙄. I stayed on my knees so when he did jump up, I grabbed the leash and pulled it down repeating the down stay command. I want him to learn he’s not allowed up from that position while on the board. I think I corrected him 2-3 times. We moved locations a couple times and had the same issue with him down stay once on the board. I’ll need to practice with treats. The way he acted it was like I was putting him in a dungeon 🙄😄

After got the pfd from my ex earlier, damned if I didn’t forget to put it in the car this morning 😩🙄. That’s why he’s not pictured with it. All in all I was pleased with our first time out 😁

😈. I know… I’m terrible 😜😄. Enjoy your weekend!

Had a great workout tho it was a struggle to get through. That’s when I maybe don’t go overly heavy, but really focus on the mind muscle connection and making sure I’m getting the full movement.

Tomorrow starts it all again 🙃😙

Getting home from work about 6-6.30. I’ll play some with Mickey, feed him, and eat something myself. I’ll start packing my lunch bag and cook if I absolutely have to. Try to do batches on the weekends. Then I’ll do about 15 min of training before we go for a walk. By time we get done, it’s about 7.30. Finish packing lunch, snacking, and finishing my evening with a protein shake. Bed about 10.30🙄. Back up at 4.50 am and at the gym before 5.30 am. 😮‍💨 I’ve had to cutout logging in food to MyFitnessPal app😢😩. I just don’t have time. I’m not gaining weight. I’m sure you’re thinking that’s great. However, I want to be in a lean bulk phase which means my goal is to eat enough to grow my muscles. I should be gaining 3-4 lbs a month, most of it muscle. I know sounds silly, but I’m actually serious about it. Off to bed. Night night😘

Month end closing at work. I’m not as stressed since I have 5 more days than normally. Tho was tasked with figuring out the impact of tariffs on our parts we order for inventory. It was just 10%, but cost us $17k more this month in our inventory parts. 😬

I’m still healing from the hamstring injury. Still not able to run at all, but least I’m able to walk. Started training classes last night with Mickey. I just want a well behaved dog I can take out in public and not be a nuisance. It just takes time and consistency with training.

I signed Mickey up for obedience training classes. Tomorrow evening is our first class. I like its small classes limited 6 dogs. It operates on a milestone system so when he’s able to perform certain things than we can advance to another class. It has flexibility and think it’s exactly the mild distractions that he needs to accelerate his progress. He has lunged a couple times on our evening walk, but since I’ve worked with him getting him used to the gentle leader no disastrous injuries. He’s much easier to catch and correct the behavior. He’s still not a fan of it, but he’s figured out if he wants to walk then he has to wear it. I tried a pinch collar, but am likely the leader better.

Off to bed. Night night 😘

Wishing you were here next to me 😘

Apologies for being MIA past several days. Had issues uploading pics the other night. Work has gotten busy for closing. Mickeys training and researching is time consuming 🙄 and feel like I’m not progressing

Side note… I’m loving the darker skin tone…tan in a bottle 😄😘. Luv y’all. Night night!

Fingers crossed pics actually upload tonight 🙄.

I did a bunch of cooking over the weekend. Grilled 6 large chicken breasts & 3 pork chops. Roasted asparagus, sweet onions, red potatoes and some carrots. Such a healthy meal and so delish!😋 .

Worked out lower body today, but with light weight or body weight only. Focusing on slowing the movement and getting full muscle extension and contraction. Still no running, but have been able to walk Mickey both morning and evening. Going to take him Saturday to try doggy daycare. Figured gives him socializing with other dogs in controlled environment and expend some energy!!!

Night night😘

Thankfully hammy is a little better. Able to walk better. Also worked out this morning 😁I was soooo thankful!!! Felt so good! My mental health was struggling. Worked with Mickey using a gentle leader that I had from long ago. He fought it bad. I kept working with him making it positive and he finally got to a point I was able to walk him where he didn’t get aggravated with it. Off to bed. Night night!

Mentally struggling again today. Trainer came out gave me several different options for training. Mickey had been crated 7-8 hrs. As I was taking him back in the house after going potty, the trainer arrived. He had lots of pent up energy. He was a complete nut case 🙄.

Mood has gone to shit😢😫. The not being able to work out or barely able to walk just fucking sucks. I kinda wish now that I didn’t go through with the adoption of Mickey🙁. Trainer canceled tonight’s evaluation. Hopefully they show tomorrow.

I’m still in a good amount of pain from the pulled hamstring. Mickey doesn’t understand that I can’t run him or take him for walks because he lunged at a guy on our last walk and when I took a big step that’s when I pulled the muscle 😫😮‍💨. I’ve got to figure out a way to get some of his energy out now. I wrapped food and treats up in a towel so he had to figure out how to get to all the food. I’ve not been to the gym 2 days…it’s killing me not to work out😭.

Hope everyone had a great Easter weekend.

Tonight majorly 😮‍💨 I mean majorly hyperextended my hamstring that was already strained. Took Mickey on our normal evening walk. He was sniffing around just off the path and an a guy came around a corner. All was good until the guy just got past and Mickey lunged at him. I took a huge step to not fall and that was it. I limped back almost a mile. I’ve never felt pain like this before. 😖😩. I’m soooo upset 😩😭. I’m hoping for a miracle overnight that I can still walk on it or limp rather 😫. Night night 😘
