Your Thoughts
Are you happy with your results?
Yes!! I am encouraged to keep going knowing that I am not stuck with the way I look now. These past 6 weeks, I have been rewarded with real weight lose without starving myself. I am also way stronger now, then I have been in a long time.
Did you surprise yourself during any portion of the contest?
Yes, I was so surprised at my weight and caliper readings that I had to take them several times. Also, I am starting boosting right now, so I am not at my skinniest but I can tell that things are changing.
Did you enjoy this type of contest? Why?
Yes. I think it is great to have a contest where you can compete with yourself. I plan on doing this contest again in the future.
Any other thoughts input ideas revelations you’d like to share?
I would like to first thank my Lord Jesus Christ for giving me life, health and breath in HIM. Without these things given to each of us as a gift we could do nothing. Each of us has to find what works best for us. Up until I started actually tracking my cycles and started really making use of the Buffing and Boosting stages, I did not see large changes. I would like to encourage others who may be struggling to learn to chart their cycles and keep track of what they are eating. Once you start doing this you can make use of your hormone cycle.
40 days to FIT!! Day 18… Q&A!
Posted by buffmother in Fitness on August 6th, 2009
Hi all~ today is “Tired Thursday” and day 18 of our 40 days to FIT and day 19 of my cycle~ which means it’s time to BOOST!! I finished off my buffing phase nicely at 127~ that’s a good weight for me considering I am on Creatine. I feel lean…at the gym I could see lots of definition in my shoulders and arms and abs!! FUN to see what’s “under there” and Fun to know the CREATINE is working!!
Today I’d like to share a little Q & A from my BodyBuilding.com private messages:
|
Question from CINDY~
Hey,Wow – you are such an inspiration to me. Please, please tell me what your daily nutrition is like–I would just love to know what you eat in a day’s time.
Also, your ab routine – would you please share!! I know we are all different, but I had two kids back-to-back (15 months apart). After my first child was born, my stomach went straight back to normal, but when my 9 pound son was born, he really did a number on me. I guess my stomach couldn’t take it so close together. I have flat abs now and I don’t mind working them, but the skin doesn’t look that hot. I have gotten it a lot tighter, but w/o having an abdominoplasty, I would like to see if I could take it to a higher level. Could you just look at my pictures, possibly, and give me any suggestions??? I would appreciate it so MUCH!! Thanks |

MY ANSWER:
HI!!
Thanks for the compliments Cindy~ You are really kicking tail…I love what you wrote in your profile about not being too old to get results (BTW- 47 is NOT OLD!!)… You are right on!!!
…I know how frustrated you must be with your tummy, but just look at how much it HAS improved. I can see that you still have room for improvement in your progress pics for sure.
As for advice there are 2 things~
- lift heavy often…all the while keeping your tummy tight and engaged
- do abs DAILY!
Other than that…I’ve written a book “After Baby ABS” that contains my secret recipe to great abs~ I am sure you would find it helpful.
it’s available on my site www.buffmother.com
Keep working hard, your tummy will improve more and more…once you get another 3-4 months of HARD ab training under your belt, you will get a better picture of if you really have to have a tummy tuck~ that surgery is NASTY and I’d consider it a “last resort”.
As for diet-
Honestly I don’t follow a “meal plan”…never have and never will. Here is a link to some info about my diet:

Also, I go through my diet in detai in my books~
Have a stellar Day!!
xoxoxo~
