Ahh, the Peace!
Posted by buffmother in Fitness on February 3rd, 2010
I love PEACE! It’s been crazy around our house the past 4 days due to the snow and snow days. Thankfully the kids are back in school today~ Awww….the PEACE!!
Cycle day 3 was yesterday and I’ve come to realize that it’s typically a “tired” almost “sick” feeling day for me. I think the hormone levels coupled with blood loss can make me feel pretty ICK! Anyhow…today is better, my MOJO is rising and I have a bit of focus again! I did get a workout done yesterday at the gym…it was a good escape!
Here’s the workout:
Warm up elliptical- I actually did intervals for 9 mins
Bench
45×20
25push ups
95×10
20 push ups
ABS
9×10x4 or 5 more sets
15 push ups
ABS
Incline flys
30’sx10×3sets
paired with
tricep push downs
80×10
95×10
80×10
Posedown bicep curls
30×15
40×10
40×10
paired with
2sets cable flys and stretching
Cardio- boxing drills in aerobics room, approx 20 mins
I am still struggling with my butt, but I’ve decided with the prodding of my DH, to try and just “leave it alone” for a week or so…meaning- NO STRETCHING, RUBBING, POKING, TESTING etc… I have a tendency to constantly fiddle with my injuries- which may lead to them not being allowed to “rest” and heal. So that’s my new idea for the week on it :hehe:
Today’s focus is Balance, so my plan is to do several balance type exercises during my leg workout. My MMA class got canceled for today, so I’ll be doing a small leg workout and running at the gym instead. I plan to go this afternoon.
I also plan on catching us up with our Just Do it posts:
Day 15 Diet
Day 16 Balance
Keep workin’ it and stay focused!!
PEACE OUT,
Michelle
p.s. today’s workout:
warm up 8 mins r bike
run intevals- most off mins at 7mph on mins @8 or 9 at about 8 mins into it
i did an entire 1/2 mile at 9mph= 3:20
25mins of running total- total distance 3.1miles
Lower back extensions 2 sets
Abs on extension machine 2 sets
Leg extensions 4 sets with stretching to the side (hip/obliques) and standing quad stretch
Leg curls- these were crazy weak on my left leg (did single legs on these) really light 4 sets
Single leg press 3 sets- these felt good…I’ll have to do more of these while my butt is being stupid
one set walking lunges no weight and some walking calves
PB Day!

In an e-mail today I read the following and though it was good enough to share:
“The goal of life is NOT to be happy. The goal of life is to know what time it is. In the words of King Solomon:
“Everything has its season. And there is a time for everything under the heaven.” “A time to be born and a time to die.” “A time to weep and time to laugh.” “A time to wail and time to dance.” “A time to rend and time to mend.” “A time to be silent and a time to speak.” “A time to love and a time to hate.” “A time for war and a time for peace.”
What time is it for you ?
Have a super fantastic day!!

40 Days to Fit! ~ Day 2
Posted by buffmother in Intervals, Running, contests on July 21st, 2009
Hey ALL!!
Well, I’ve made it through the first two days of the 40 absolutely on FIRE!! All the excitement generated by your comments; You have TOTALLY inspried me!!! I LOVE IT~ thanks!!!
That said…I’ve already had to make adjustments to my own workout POA…we decided to go to Branson next week and I’ve been really busy working the past 2 days~ so my workout have had to SHIFT a bit. I often take Mondays as my “day off” of workouts because Mondays are such crazy busy days! I need to remember to stick to that and workout on Sunday instead.
My workout yesterday ended up being a short run of about 15 mins or so…and then 10 mins of intervals on the upright bike.
Today’s workout has been about the same~ a run of about 25 mins…and then 10 mins of intervals on the bike.
FYI~ here are a few songs that inspired me during my workout today:
Britt Nicole | Set the World on Fire
Nelly Furtado -Say It Right Music Video
Colbie Caillat – Bubbly
Britney Spears – Do Something
I will do some perfect push ups here in a bit while cooking some supper for the family- I’m going to scramble up some eggs and make toast too.
Which makes me think of my mini-goal for this week~ I am striving to eat more protein!!
Since my photoshoot I’ve been slacking on getting in my protein and I keep saying I’ll start eating more- BUT that’s kinda hard when I don’t have any! I ran out of my current favorite protein powder, my favorite protein bars and I don’t have any meat in my frig! I’ve gotta go to the store tomorrow first thing!
HOPE you are as fired up as me!!! Let’s keep rocking these 40 days!!!
Set your goals!!
xoxoxo~
