Great day! Heck it’s been a great YEAR!
Posted by buffmother in BUTT, Chest workout (triceps), Goal Setting (POA), Legs, hormonal timing on January 7th, 2010
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!!

In HONOR OF The END of the week and IN Honor of LUNGES (they are what made my booty possible):
Lunge-O-Ramma!!
Posted by buffmother in BUTT, BuffMother, Michelle Berger, Legs, kids, video on October 1st, 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!! Here’s a little video of him getting a first down.
He’s #33 the Full Back carrying the ball~
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!!

Michelle
40 days to FIT!! Day 23 & 24 WEB work!
Posted by buffmother in Abs, BUTT, BuffMother, Michelle Berger, Legs on August 12th, 2009
Sorry I missed out on being my normal “interactive” self online yesterday; I’ve been working hard on my Website’s Store…I am rather proud of how much of a TECHNICAL Genius I am becoming, lol!!
I also had to run several big errands yesterday, which meant my computer time was cut short and I missed my workout~ SHEESH!! how did I let that happen?? My only explanation is that “ITs JUST my HORMONES!!”. I felt the effects of cycle day 24 yesterday for sure! NOT anything too Bad (like being crabby, stressed or depressed) but I did have a total lack of focus…everything I tried to do took 10 times longer than it should have.
This is a short week for the kids at school too, so My “work week” has been cut by 1 day…which means I need to get a lot more stuff done today! I’ve already got my workout done~ YAY!! I did it right after getting the kids off to school:
LEGS~
warm up r-bike 7 mins
Squats
warm up- bar- stretch- bar some more…I was really stiff!!
95×10
95×10
115×10
135×10x2~ this is the highest I’ve gotten to recently~ still being VERY Careful with my back
DEADS
95×15x4sets various stance and forms
walking lunges
45#bar on back x15×2sets
Smith Butt Squats
50×10x3
Smith lunges on step
50×10
one set of hanging sit ups here.
70×10…felt a bit of a back strain here so I opted to be safe than sorry (not sure if it was from the lunges or the hanging sit ups??)
Leg extensions
110×10
50×10x2 sets- one leg at a time
70×6x2sets
Sissy Squats
15repsx2 sets really squeezing glutes
That was all…I took NO-EXPLODE first thing this morn despite knowing I shouldn’t~ I can’t take it as a pre-workout, I get tummy issues and cramps from it. I can however take it after workouts as long as I’ve already eaten something…I’ve decided that I’m not going to buy it again. It’s the only creatine product I’ve ever used that’s created this kind of tummy issue for me. There plenty other creatines that work better for me.
BTW- I had a SUPER powerhouse upper body workout on MONDAY evening!
HORMONES+CREATINE = PERSONAL BESTS!!
Gotta go shower, eat and work!

I believe this is Gunner’s last day of school!
Posted by buffmother in BUTT, Intervals, Legs on June 22nd, 2007
It is finally here, Gunner’s LAST day of School for the year…he is having field day starting at 12:30. DH and I are gonna go to it, should be fun! I remember fondly my field days from elementary school, it was the BEST day of the YEAR!!!
I am blown away by how FAST this week has gone~ I swear it has been the FASTEST week of my life! VERY WEIRD!! Must be because I am now 32? My Mom used to always tell me that time goes by faster as you get older- she was telling the TRUTH!
I got in a good booty workout yesterday~ I tested my ankle a bit more by including LUNGES…they are hard to do with an ankle sprain
Warm up elliptical
3 mins HARD- short on time

Dead lifts
135×10x1 close stance and 1 wide stance
135×12 conventional- I’ll go heavier on these next time
paired with adduction 2 sets to failure
Walking lunges
60# barx15×2
lower back extensions
15
Smith Lunges
90×12x2
Smith squats

yesterday’s weight was 125- shoulders are showing leaner, so are quads…just need the butt and gut to come along next so I am off to work on that now 
…I am going to attempt a run (first since the sprain)!!
Keep Believing!
Love,
Michelle
p.s. happy friendly Friday (go out of your way to be extra friendly today)
