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!!
xoxox,

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

In HONOR OF The END of the week and IN Honor of LUNGES (they are what made my booty possible):
I am so FIRED UP!!!
Posted by buffmother in Success Stories, contests, legacy, rally room on September 14th, 2009
I am so FIRED UP!!!
It seems like I’ve been anticipating the start of this contest forever!! I can’t believe it’s finally here!! I feel like I am starting on a 10 week “Adventure Vacation” with a couple hundred other amazing women!!! ~ I am so FIRED UP!!! Thanks for being excited too~ we are going to have a blast!
I’ve had a couple days of decent workouts~ after my little “REST” phase….excluding the last 2 days, I’ve only gotten in about 4-5 workouts during the past 2 weeks. Which has been very good for me! I needed the rest and RECHARGE!!
Today’s workout went like this:
Talked to our SUPER HERO, 1st place winner, Professional Figure Athlete, DEB GRAY while tanning
Warm up R-bike 10 mins
Leg extensions- 3 sets warm up/ pre-exhaust
Leg curls- standing one leg at a time- a “new” machine for me 3 sets
Squats
45×10
95×10
135×6x2
145×6
Lateral Raises with 10# plates- between squat sets
3x 20 reps
Abs on ball- 2 sets
Dead Lifts
95×20reps…I realized “Hey! You’re back is healthy enough…It’s time to put on more weight!”
115×10x3sets
Squats- one more set of 135×10 reps
One leg at a time leg pressx3 sets
Calf raises- 3 sets
Butt Squats on smith- 1 set
Smith Lunges- 4 sets
Abs on floor mat- 3 sets various types
Walking Lunges- 2 sets of 30 steps with 55# on back
Abs on floor mat- 3 sets various types
It was a very good solid final BOOSTING workout for me…I’ve decided to start buffing early because I wanna look extra good for all the events in Omaha~ I leave to go there in just 10 days! AND I am sick of Boosting~ I thought I got my period yesterday (would have been only a 25 day cycle) but I was just spotting. Tomorrow will be c-day 28 and I expect TOM will come no later than by TUESDAY.
I wanna point out that I am doing this contest too~ I am not just a leader/coach/trainer in this I am also a contestant! I made sure to get READY for the contest just as I instructed you to….
My stumbling blocks recently have been to do with “time”- I have the time, but I feel like I need to spend my time working…instead of working out. Which in all reality is silly because being in GREAT shape is part of my job, lol!
