Today has been a GREAT Day!! As a matter of fact it’s been a great year so far for me! I’ve just been HAPPY, Happy, HAPPY for the most part!
Jan 1-The year started on Friday with a great day spent with my DH~ we had spen NYE in a hotel and then the entire rest of the day together, thanks to Grandma Mary watching our little monkeys for us….
Jan 2- I went to workout and brought the girls shopping to target where I scored some much needed sweat pants and a few shirts!! Then we had another great day of family time and football and FIGHTS~ we ended up purchasing the UFC despite the card being really bad- Dana White needs to put together some better cards!! or he’s going to lose some of his fan base!
Jan 3- Super Football SUNDAY!!! I was so happy that the Vikinings played and KICKED tail!! then the Cowboys kicked the EAGLES tail so that the Vikings got a better playoff position- YAY!! (oh an it was cycle day 1)
Jan 4- I worked, got caught up on a lot of stuff, enjoyed it and even enjoyed the kids still being home from school due to the snow day- I went to the chiro and got my butt feeling better~ then I got in a good interval workout on the upright bike.
Jan 5- www.buffmother.com’s GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY!! It’s been 5 years of AWSOME! I’ve loved being able to give hope to women all over the world ~ God has really blessed my life through my website! I also went to my MMA class~ It was another BLAST!! I love it~ we actually did some semi-live rolling and I feel like I did very good! IT WAS FUN!!! Then to the gym to get in a run and lift with chest…I am still dealing with my butt being weird, but it’s definantly better than before I went to the chiro.
Jan 6 – It’s almost 9pm and I just got home from the gym…my workout was way later than planned, but that is better than not getting it done.
My weight is up to 135 ….crazy but I feel good! I am not fretting my weight right now because I know a bunch of it is water weight from all sorts of things: salt, carbs, carbonation, wheat, dairy, hormones, creatine, etc…
cday 1- 131
cday 2- 133
cday 3- 135 (weight up from STEAK dinner and CARBS)
Okay…On to my to do list issues. Yesterday I planned to write a to do list, well….it really didn’t happen. I got a start on it and then i got “paralyzed” by it. My list is way to long! I need help!!! I think for the rest of today I’ll focus hard on getting a bit more “caught Up” with my e-mails and by tomorrow I may be ready to focus on a to do list. My hormones should be cooperating better on cycle day 4~ my mental HIGH days are coming soon, I can feel it!!!!
here’s a quick POA for my workouts the remainder of the week:
Thurs- MMA class at noon
Fri-Chiro appt @10:30; Back,sh, bi and run intervals
Sat-chest, tris, abs
Sunday- run intervals
Hope all of you are having a GREAT 2010, I sure am!!
Love and THANKS!!

Now is the time to Focus!

Do you have ADD? I think I might…It’s induced by having children. I think God actually gives women ADD when they become mothers. We have to have it otherwise the daily interruptions, screams for help, “emergencies” and accidents would throw us over the edge! I embrace my ADD to a certain extent, but sometimes I’d like to SHUT IT OFF and just FOCUS! Now that my kids are all in elementary school during the day…i have time to myself, I have time to FOCUS! Now is the time for me to FOCUS!!
My current focus is a lot about getting CENTERED and RE-Ignighting my FAITH and Passsion for my God given purpose in life. I’ve had a rough year and life has battered me a bit. I believe it’s made me stronger, YET it’s caused me to loose FOCUS on why I do what I do. I’ve lost focus on my “WHY”…I need it again and plan to spend the remainder of this 2009 Focused on getting my FOCUS back!
That said I’ve decided I need to “wait’ on truly OPENING up for training until the new year. I have too much going on~ THE SLAVE DRIVER in me needs to allow myself THIS TIME to FOCUS more on ME!
My POA for today got a bit messed up becuause of my workout last nigth lackin proper SUPPORT- Support from 2 sports bras that is…I have to wear 2 sports bras when I run. AND I left for the gym with out my extra one last night~ I was PUMPED to run, but couldn’t do it BOUNCING all over tarnation! I did get in good intervals on the elliptical instead.
Here’s my workout from last night:
Tan for 9mins and r-bike 5 mins
Chest press
75×20
95z15×2sets
Lat pulls
135×10
150×10x2sets
one set of knee ups on bench
Bench Press
45×15
95×10
one set of push ups 12 reps
115×7
115×9
115×6
crunches on bench with feet up on bar
Dips
8, 7
incline sit ups
Incline Chest Press
90×10x3sets
Bicep curls
45×15
50×10x2
20 mins of even min intervals on the elliptical (7 HARD minutes)
Pull ups10
my diet was lower carb yesterday, but no greens. I’ll get some in today for sure!:
PPPPP- eggs, chicken, protein shake,
CCC-
FFF -sausage, sunflower seeds, oil
Today’s POA- fasted cardio- warm up on elliptical 10 mins; run intervals 20mins; steady cardio on u-bike 10-20 minsand MAYBE Legs in the pm…I may wait and shif them to tomorrow though 
The extra Focus I’ve been putting on running/intervals and eating lower carb is paying off in the mirror and on the scale. This moring I was 126 on cycle day 8~ I expect to be under 125 by the time I take my pics and stats for the end of the SSS contest!! :whoohoo: I AM GETTING MORE FIT all the time!~!! I promise it does work if you work it and it’s worth the pain and effort!!!
NOW IT THE TIME TO FOCUS!!

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
