Creatine Recommendation
Posted by buffmother in Supplements on March 11th, 2010
I like Kre-Akaline creatine for when I don’t want to reatin much water.
2 kinds I’ve been using:
Maxx Pump by NRG-x and Overdose by NRG-X (a good pre workout/post workout punch)
Here a the links on BB.com-

Akk, my leg’s asleep!
Posted by buffmother in Diet on October 9th, 2009
Akk! my leg’s asleep!! I think my butt is so sore from Tuesday’s workout that it’s cutting off my circulation~ YUCK!! I hate that tingly feeling. I remember the first time I learned what it meant to have a body part “fall asleep” and I was so relieved. I had thought I had a disease and was SCARED I’d eventually lose a foot!
Anyhow…I had a really good back workout yesterday. I DID a ton of pull ups and video demos about them…Pull ups are UBER effective, my sore back is proof of that! So…after 3 hard days of boosting I am losing weight ( i am back down to 127)…and I am SORE head to toes! Today’s focus will be EATING more and once again doing CHEST for my workout! I love chest~ it’s my current favorite body part to workout!
In family life, my DH has decided to HIT IT HARD, workout wise for the next few weeks. I am guessing his 40th birthday coming in
FEB is motivating him to take it to the next level…also a good friend of his recently lost 60+pounds and is competing in BodyBuilding now…That’s really been an inspirational transformation for Travis to witness!
Gunner is kicking tail at football but he hurt his knee rather badly on Tuesday night at practice. I’ve been praying for it like mad and it seems to be good enough today for him to play in his game tonight. He’s going to miss out on performing in he 4th grade musical because of his game so I sure hope his knee is good enough for him to play!
The 3 MONKEYS- Oh I mean “GIRLS” are doing good! They are all still striving to learn to read better, but I see progress daily! Gracie is still a little MAMMA BEAR and I am emphasizing the BEAR part. She is a bit of a BEAR! So we are working hard on the lesson “if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say it at all!”
Today is the last day of SCHOOL until the 26th….so don’t be surprised if you see a bit less of me around here for a couple weeks….and don’t be surprised if I do talk about “drinking” :wine: when I do blog :snicker: Doesn’t an old country song go like this “Why DO you DRINK?…KIDS!” I am totally kidding, but with 4 kids at home fighting, making messes, being bored, etc…sometimes Mamma just needs to escape, lol!
Okay enough silliness…
The plan for today is to get some stuff DONE! I have a bit of work to do on the Video Coaching~ I also have to get in my workout + Lunges…I missed my lunges yesterday, due to a RAW HAMBURGER BUTT situation… an OUCH I LOVE!!
Well ladies, let’s get through this TOUGH Tired THURS and then hit it hard for the weekend!! I love the weekend energy and I plan on being a “champ” over the weekend!! Let’s Press on toward our goals!! SSS Week #4 is IMPORTANT for keeping momentum!! After this week we just have 6 more weeks…time goes by fast!!
PRESS ON! CHARGE!!~ Michelle
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~

BuffMother J’nea ROCKS!!
Posted by buffmother in Success Stories on November 15th, 2006
I am so proud and excited for one of my dearest friends from my BuffMother Rally Room, J’nea!! She was chosen to be featured as a “Transformation of the week on Bodybuilding.com”. She is like me in a lot of ways, she is my height, has 4 kids, loves to lift weights, loves to blog, etc…BUT there is one HUGE difference—she not only has one set of twins but TWO sets!!! I don’t think I could handle that~~ She is proof that you have to take a “no excuses” attitude towards getting your workouts done. I am inspired by her every day!!
Well here is the direct link to her transformation
J’nea’s Transformation of the WEEK!!
And her is a link to her personal blog…make sure to leave a comment telling her CONGRATS!!
She Rocks!!
