Posted by buffmother in BuffMother, Michelle Berger, Spiritual Fitness- Christian, mental on November 5th, 2009
In keeping with my “NOW is the TIME Novemeber” theme…I really, really believe NOW is the time for me to LEARN! I am currently hungering to LEARN about 3 things:
1. MY Spirituality…My SAVIOR- Jesus Christ, The HOLY SPIRIT, and God my Father
2. TIME management
3. Fitness~ anything and everything about fitness! Some key interests: Hormones, MMA fitness, Kids Fitness, and the Fitness Industry
The internet is A SUPER Cool tool for learning!! Here are some of the FUN stuff I stumbled across this week in my quest to LEARN:
Our mini-challenge in the SuperSTAR Success contest is to eat 3 servings of greens daily. I stumbled across this most fitting verse today…
Proverbs 15:17
A bowl of vegetables with someone you love is better than steak with someone you hate.
VERSE of the DAY~ I like this because it gives you a verse, some thoughts, a prayer and a PICTURE!

My workouts and eats (except for a bit of Halloween Candy) have been ON! 3 greens for yesterday were Asparagus and Romain Lettuce. And today so far I’ve gotten in 2 servings of Romain Lettuce.The past 2 days…I had to shift my workouts a forward due to Monday being a crazy work day. So yesterday I did Legs/ABs- WITH NO PAIN and today I did Upper body/ABs this morning and just now got done running intervals finished with 2 sprints, some drill and stretching. I am doing the workouts from our FIRE CRACKIN’ HOT contest, they rock!! I am very proud of myself for pushing through and making myself do them…I lost a bit of momentum last week from my back injury/UTI!! BTW~ I am on cycle day 20 and I weighed in at 127.
I went for lunch with my SIL (Heidi) today…she seems to be doing quite well! We talked forever and it was great to catch up~ We are planning to celebrate Gracie’s Birthday at their house and Christmas there too. It should be a GREAT TIME!
I am off to clean up so that we can have a nice family BONFIRE tonight…I may need to run and get som HOT DOGS for the kids~ then later we’ll watch TUF…this season has stunk thus far…Rampage has really been a disappointment!
Have a GREAT night and never stop learning!!!

Thoughts…
Posted by buffmother in BuffMother, Michelle Berger, Goal Setting (POA), Spiritual Fitness- Christian, mental on October 29th, 2009
I’ve been thinking a lot of thoughts lately…do I sound like POOH bear?
Anyhoo…Thoughts about my mission, my current existance, my goals, my frustrations, etc… Overall this October has been filled with un-rest…stress…contemplation…and SICKNESSES! ICKY! I know the mental really affects my physical. I also know that the definition of INSANITY is to continue to do the same thing over and over expecting different results. Thus…my blog about CHANGE on Tuesday.
I am sick of the unrest and sick of the lack of peace…So where do I start? I KNOW where to start…with GOD! He is the start of it all and my #1 priority, my first love. I’ve been neglecting HIM for too long, taking HIM for granted and separated from HIM due to my own stupidity.
The past 3 days I’ve been pouring into who I love the most~ God, Travis and my family and guess what…I feel better both emotionally and physically. I’ve listened to several amazing messages from pastors I HIGHLY respect to fill my heart and mind with wonderful thoughts about my Jesus, my KING, my Father, my Love! And that love has spilled over to my DH…I had a GREAT date with Travis yesterday~ The first in a long time! Because God is LOVE, I need HIM and HIS love in order to have love to give to others. He holds a stockpile of Love and gives it to us when we give HIM LOVE. It’s so wonderful!! God is GOOD!!
I plan to keep going after God; Keeping HIM my #1 priority in life above ALL else…and YES even above my husband and above my children. HE has to be FIRST! Becuase I know from horrible past experiences that when HE is not #1, everything else falls apart!! I want HIS love so I can GIVE MORE LOVE and have more passion for the all those looking for true LOVE! I want to really make an impact on this world and there is no way I can do that if I don’t have massive amounts of LOVE!
Thanks for reading this! I love that I have friends who love me~ I LOVE YOU too!!
God Bless us all!!
LOVE,
Michelle

Heavenly Thoughts
Posted by buffmother in Spiritual Fitness- Christian on July 9th, 2008
I’ve been dreaming a bit about heaven today…I can’t wait to feel what heaven is like!!! A book I recently read “When Heaven Invades Earth” talks about how we should expect and go after the things of heaven here on earth. For instance we should expect that we should be healthy as we will be in heaven. In THE LORD’s prayer Jesus even said this “…Your will be done on earth as it is in HEAVEN!” Isn’t that cool!!! Heaven on earth is possible!! What an awesome dream to dream and to go for!!
My workouts the past 2 days have been great!!
I did a really good leg workout with more than 100 lunges in it yesterday followed by my RUN!! I ran on the treddy rather hard for about 11 mins….
And when I got home my new running shoes showed up!!! now I can really feel good about running every other day this month!!!
Today, I did a back, shoulder and bicep workout followed by 11 mins of intervals on the r-bike. It was a BONUS workout for the week as I had planned to take today off!! I am so happy that I got it done!
I ovulated last night and I feel so much better today …I think it was Carrie who asked about how we feel on our ovulation, this month for me was extra bad for some reason (since I’ve had twins, I have months when I double ovulate and this makes things doubly icky hormone wise for me on those months) my symptoms were: nausea the night before, bloating, extreme fatigue, zits, horrible ovary pain and some breast tenderness.
Well I gotta go and get some things done while the kids are all occupied.
Have a HEAVENLY hump day!!
Love,
Michelle
June=GO TIME!!
Posted by buffmother in Goal Setting (POA), Spiritual Fitness- Christian on June 3rd, 2008
HELLO!!
I am back, refreshed and recharged from vacation and I am so pumped up!!
June= GO TIME!!
June is such an amazing month…for me it signifies GO TIME! It is time to get down to business in all the areas of my life that I value. Have you ever really thought about your values? What you value determines who you become in life. I challenge you to this month to blog daily about one of your values or something you value…Personally I know I will grow closer to achieving my dreams by reflecting upon my values. Yesterday in church toward the end of the service my pastor touched on the value of being humble, which prompted me to start listing my values and some things that I value. From this brainstorming list of values, I’ll have plenty of great ideas to blog about this month:
humble, grace, committed, play/fun, loyalty, servants, purity, giving, joy, gentleness, nature, peace, patience, kindness, manners, poise, self-control, posture, hard work, finisher, relentless!, affection, quality time, respect, charisma, relationship, excitement, encouragement, praise, obedience, patriotism, forgiveness, family, prayer, competition, challenge….
Today, I’d like to reflect on relationship. We all were made for relationship. God made us so that he’d have someone to interact with, share his thoughts, ideas, passions, etc with…WE only find true joy in life when we are in RELATIONSHIP with others. Relationships take effort, the take time and at times can seem one sided or not worth the effort; but I know that the happiest times in my life have been when I’ve made that effort and worked hard to be a “relationship” promoter. I need to remember that it is so worth it! My goal this month is to really dive back into the building relationships within the Rally Room and also take time each day to really bond with my kids and husband.
Last week on vacation I did decent on my eating and workouts…I ran hard 3 times and made it to the gym once. I was very happy how well it went!!
BUT now I am on a countdown…my 33rd B-day is 13 days away and I wanna look and feel my BEST! So here is the plan:
Get to the gym an lift 10 times before then and run 8 times…Let the count-down BEGIN~~ tomorrow! I’ll have 12 days to get all that done!
GO, GO, GO!!! It’s go time!! Let’s GO!!
Love,
Michelle
