    My past 2 workouts have been legs and back…so today is Chest :)
    I’ve been working out hard and my body is SORE~!!
    Travis and I worded out on Wednesday at the Lowell World’s Gym- it was nice becsause they have an outdoor pool so the kids got to swim while we worked out.
    It’s been beautiful here this week, Summer is ON! I love it.
    Yesterday was Back day (by the way- this includes shoulder, bicep and ab work)- I am sore today from it!  I did a few new machines and really worked on my biceps.  Bicep work really helps my shoulders POP!
    Anyhow…I’ve been updating my blog Plugins today and have added quite a few neat features~ you need to check it out www.blog.buffmother.com and www.buffmother.blogspot.com
    Have a great JOYOUS Muscial day~
    Love,
    Michelle

    JOY is Prayer!


    “Joy is prayer – Joy is strength- Joy is love – Joy is a net of love

    by which you can catch souls.  She gives most who gives with Joy.”

    Mother Teresa

    Prayers of a BuffMother!

    Please Lord God Almighty,

    Let me have the strength to get all the kids buckled up and checked in to childcare today so that I can go kill myself doing my workout

    Let all the kids be healthy enough to go to the gym

    Let all the kids take their naps so that I can do my workout during naptime

    Let all the kids take their naps so that we don’t have melt downs at the gym childcare

    Let the kids poop b4 we go to the gym so that they don’t hate me for stinking the place up

    Let the kids learn to love spinach, oatmeal and chicken so that I don’t have to make a separate meal for everyone

    Help my husband have a huge desire to rub my stiff and tired body tonight

    Help me fit into my jeans today, I did legs yesterday and they are so swollen I don’t think my sweats would even fit

    Help me figure out a way to wash the dishes since my arms are too sore and tired to even lift them

    Help me to be tough and not complain and be a great example to my children to brainwash them into believing working out is actually fun

    Keep our family safe from the gym freak who I heard was a convicted rapist

    I pray that no one will ask me for any advice today while I am in the middle of my set of walking lunges

    Please Lord help me LOVE others, take the time to show love first and foremost to my kids and DH

    I love you Lord!

    AMEN~ your Daughter Michelle
