Great day! Heck it’s been a great YEAR!

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!!

-Michelle

Deb Gray is a SUPER HERO!!

Deb Gray is a SUPER HERO!! and she’s competing in just a couple days in the FIGURE division  at the  NANBF Natural Kansas City Golds Classic...so if you are in the area be sure to go see her!! You’ll be blown away by her super hero powers~ Please leave a comment here to CHEER her on! I’ll be sure she sees it prior to her contest Saturday!

I’ve had the honor of getting to know Deb Gray over the past 3 years.  3 years ago I met Deb for the first time when my client and DEB’s best friend was competing in a figure contest in Council Bluffs- the Buff’s Classic.  Deb’s youngest daughter was just under a year old at that time and Deb looked like your typical “Mom of 2″….But DEB has proved she is anything but typical!!

She lost all of her baby weight, transformed her body using Hormonal Timing, won several trophies and tiles in NANBF Figure, participated as a testimonial in my Hormonal Timing infomercial and has inspired so many women along the way!!

I love this woman~ She is a true SUPER HERO !  …Please do me a favor and leave a comment here to CHEER her on!  I’ll be sure she sees it prior to her contest Saturday!

Deb Gray Before and After

The signature she shares in our Rally Room I just love!!

FIT and FABULOUS is as easy as your ABC’s
“A”-attitude
“B”-believing God is with you
“C”-consistency

Deb Gray’s Transformation Story ( copied from from www.completenutrition.com/misc.php?pages_ID=20)
Omaha, NE
Growing up I had always competed in sports. I also enjoyed working out, and that is why I chose to get my degree in Exercise Science. After getting my degree, I started my own business as a personal trainer. I was fortunate to train a wide variety of clients (female, male, young and old from 9 years to 102 years). I did this for 10 plus years, and then decided on a career change. During this time I had my first daughter. What an amazing and emotional experience. You never think you can love someone so much and then love yourself again after gaining 55#s!! I went back to a “not so healthy” quick fix program. Basically I was starving myself and doing tons of cardio. Well I lost weight, but felt awful. I had no energy, was cranky and it seemed to always be hungry!!! Three years later I was pregnant again and told myself I would not gain 55#’s this time, but I ended up gaining over that! I remember the scale at 160 when I was one month along and then looking for the last time with 2 weeks to delivery at 225!! I am not a math wizard, but I had to of gained 65#’s, if not more. Holy smokes, how would I ever loose all that weight? It was about a year after my second daughter’s birth, that a great friend of mine started training for a figure competition. It motivated and inspired me to make a change. I started working out consistently, eating healthy and taking the right supplements. I followed a training program from BuffMother.com, which is an online support resource. I believe it was a combination of everything that helped me to transform and transform quickly. I work out 6 days a week for 45-90 min max and eat 5 small meals a day. I also take the following supplements from Complete Nutrition: No2, Amplify protein, Creatine, Tone, Joint, Complete Woman Vitamin, 3-in-1, Accelelean, Control and glutamine.

This is an example of a day with supplements, diet and workout.
Meal 1:
1 c. oatmeal w/ cinnamon and blueberries
4 egg whites plus 1 whole egg scrambled
Supplements:
Complete Woman Vitamin, Reclaim Joint and Tone, No2, 3-in-1, Accelelean
Workout:
5 min warm up
Assisted pullups 3 x 6-8 reps
Pulldowns: 3x 6
Rows: 4 x 8
One arm at a time pulldown: 3 x 6 each side
Ez bar curl: 4 sets; 2 wide/2 narrow 6 reps
Hammer curl: 3 x 6 reps
Intervals on treadmill: 4 min warm up
8 intervals for 30 sec hard and 90 sec recovery
Total of 20 minutes

Meal 2:
Amplify shake with 2 scoops, 1 teaspoon of peanut butter, 1 teaspoon of glutamine, water and ice; blended

Meal 3:
whole wheat tortilla with canned tuna, mayo, almond and celery
Supplements:
No2, Complete Woman Vitamin, 3-in-1, Accelelean

Meal 4:
grilled chicken breast on spinach salad
Supplements:
Tone and Control

Meal 5:
steak, asparagus with red pepper and sweet potato

Why am I sharing this? I hope I can motivate and inspire others. You might not want to compete, but I believe everyone wants to feel and look better. I started in January of 2008, weighing 165#’s with 25% body fat. With being more consistent with working out, and then really watching my diet and supplements in February my body began to change. After one month I had big transformations, but by the end of May they were huge, in fact I competed and won the Nebraska and Heartland Open figure classes. I weighed 137 with 17% body fat at competition time. It was not always easy, but it has been worth the hard work and effort. I believe you can do it too when you decide to make the choice to change.
