I feel Success Today!! My body is responding…are you feeling success??
Getting in shape takes patience, consistency and TIME!
If you feel like you aren’t getting there fast enough…
You have to find more measurements for your success:
* Do you feel a sense of accomplishment?
* Are you increasing your weights at the gym?
* Are you getting in better shape?
* Do you have more energy?
* Are you more mentally focused, less stressed?
* Are you learning new things?
* Are you sleeping better?
* Are your hair, skin, joints, digestive system, etc…more healthy?
* Are you being a good example to your kids, family and friends?
* Are you inspiring others to make changes themselves?
I’ve had a good few days of workouts
Wed- weight 130#-run 15 mins outside plus 5 mins bike, high knees, lunges, situps
Thur-cday 1: weight 130# Legs at gym plus 10 mins elliptical
Fri-cday 2:weight128# Chest/tri/abs and intervals on tready up to 10 mph for 2 intervals (15mins run total)
Sat- cday 3: weight 128#…workout planned for today~ BACK…lots of pull ups! and some bike intervals
I am liking my new shoes. I think my running plan is going to be to run M, W, F and Su…and shoot to do 2 of those outside each week.
Last night we watched “land of the lost”…It was disappointing. Too many gross sexual jokes! I don’t know WHO they make movies like that for?? It’s not really for adults, but It’s not for kids either…weird!
Anyhow…today Gunner is going to play football. He’s feeling better and their game starts at 12:45~ I hope he plays well!
Have a successful Saturday!!
Love, Michelle

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~

Well HELLO!!
This morning I went on a fasted run~I planned on doing a basic out an back of 3 miles total….well not even half way through I felt like cutting it short. Over and over again I had to talk myself into going the entire way…my thoughts of YOU kept me going!! THANK YOU!
Yesterday was a “active” rest day for me…I had a fun day! I cleaned in the morning, sun bathed in the early afternoon while listening to a few good Biblical messages on my Iphone, went for a couple little bike rides around the block with my DD Tia, then I messed around in my flower bed: weeding, transplanting, watering, etc…, then my DH and I played some “redneck golf’, and some1 on 1 basketball, then we painted a couple walls in the front room of our house and I finished off my day watching “under the tuscan sun”
It was a good day!
My POA for this week is to get a ton of work done before the 4th!!
M-run (done!), pay bills, work
T- legs, laundry
W- run and upper body
Th-photos, stats, final entry for contest…I am doing them on Thursday because I want to workout on Wednesday
F-Legs
Sa-run
Su-off
Hope that thinking of me can help you get through your workout as much as thinking of you helped me! Thanks again!!
