Now is the time to ENJOY
Posted by buffmother in Family, legacy on November 21st, 2009
Now is the time to ENJOY…Your LIFE, Your Friends, Your Family, Your Passions, etc… Now is the time to ENJOY! But how? That was my question to myself today. Somehow my life has turned into a big list of “responsibilities” and “to do lists” that are too often empty and unenjoyable. THAT’s not good! I want to enjoy life; I want to even be able to enjoy doing chores….I definatly want to enjoy spending time with my loved ones! What steps do I need to take to re-igninte my JOY in life? Well…the first step I took was to “google it”!
Here are some of the top tips I found on “how to enjoy life” that struck a chord with me:
- Focus on your “why”- my why is to know and serve God; and to help give women HOPE.
- Connect with loved ones- family and friends
- go outside- for a hike, to read, to write, to run, to play
- NEW- learn something new, eat something new, go someplace new, meet a new freind
- create a DREAM list- what have you always DREAMED of doing…take actios towards those dreams
- Music- listen to it, hum it, sing it, play it, etc..
- Slow Down! Breathe!
- QUIT…quit doing things you really detest doing
- LAUGH!!! watch AFV~!
I am off to implement these…hope you ENJOY the rest of your Day!!

I feel Success Today!! My body is responding…are you feeling success??
Getting in shape takes patience, consistency and TIME!
If you feel like you aren’t getting there fast enough…
You have to find more measurements for your success:
* Do you feel a sense of accomplishment?
* Are you increasing your weights at the gym?
* Are you getting in better shape?
* Do you have more energy?
* Are you more mentally focused, less stressed?
* Are you learning new things?
* Are you sleeping better?
* Are your hair, skin, joints, digestive system, etc…more healthy?
* Are you being a good example to your kids, family and friends?
* Are you inspiring others to make changes themselves?
I’ve had a good few days of workouts
Wed- weight 130#-run 15 mins outside plus 5 mins bike, high knees, lunges, situps
Thur-cday 1: weight 130# Legs at gym plus 10 mins elliptical
Fri-cday 2:weight128# Chest/tri/abs and intervals on tready up to 10 mph for 2 intervals (15mins run total)
Sat- cday 3: weight 128#…workout planned for today~ BACK…lots of pull ups! and some bike intervals
I am liking my new shoes. I think my running plan is going to be to run M, W, F and Su…and shoot to do 2 of those outside each week.
Last night we watched “land of the lost”…It was disappointing. Too many gross sexual jokes! I don’t know WHO they make movies like that for?? It’s not really for adults, but It’s not for kids either…weird!
Anyhow…today Gunner is going to play football. He’s feeling better and their game starts at 12:45~ I hope he plays well!
Have a successful Saturday!!
Love, Michelle
Lunge O Ramma!
Posted by buffmother in Family, Legs, kids on October 2nd, 2009
That was my workout today~ Lunge-O-Ramma!! I did video demos of MANY types of lunges today~ whoohoo!! it was a booty blast!!
Gunner had a game tonight too…he was moved from Defense to Offence and I am SO happy to say that was the best thing that could have happened. He ran well and hard~ he was the only player on his team to produce positive yards!!
Tomorrow~ I am hitting the gym hard and I will do intervals. My cough is pretty much GONE and i am confident I’ll rock my workout!! Have a stellar Thrus night!!
Love ya,
Michelle
