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~

Hi Everyone~
Boy did last week turn out weird!
It started off with a back “tweak” during my leg workout on Sunday,
so I had to rest on Monday.
Hit the gym hard on Tuesday with a GREAT chest and interval workout.
Then on WED~ 3 mins into my run I rolled my ankle bad!
Thursday- I couldn’t even walk~ sad since it was my b-day!
Friday- off
Sat- off, but did do 11 unassisted pull ups in a row 
…a recent pb!
Sun- off too~ had a good day though, could walk well enough to shop for Father’s Day and CLEAN
My BELIEF for today is I believe in effective efficient workouts!
So that’s the PLAN for this week to do effective efficient workouts! I am now in BUFFING mode and MEGA MOVEMENT is planned for each workout- and no workout will last much more than an hour total- HARD EFFECTIVE EFFICIENT AND RELENTLESS!!
MINI Challenge of the Consistency Challenge
#7- June 18- do 10 stomach vacuums each day (10-15 secs each)…I love this challenge- My tummy pooch will be GONE by the end of this week!!
I will do better on my POA this week!
Here is the Plan:
M-Lift legs @ 3:15pm
T-Lift Back and intervals
W-Lift Chest and intervals
Th-Lift Legs
F-Lift Back- Gunner’s last day of school!!
Sa-Lift Chest, intervals
Su-off
WELL I am off to have a GREAT DAY!!

Hey ya – Well the morning weigh in was 128

Hey ya -
Well the morning weigh in was 128– i feel it is a quite solid and lean 128–but 3 pounds WILL be annihilated over the next 2 weeks
My workout today was different than planned- I did Chest/tri’s with DH
Warm up
10 min r-bike
Bench
45×20
95×15
115×10
135×6 (first 3 all me)
105×12
2 Sets knee ups on bench 40 reps each
Flat bench flys
40’sx10×2
Hanging knee ups-
15×2 sets
Dips
10, 9
tricep cable push downs
60×25
70×20
Then I tanned– while tanning did stomach vacuums–I feel I need these badly right now, my belly keeps on sticking out–something to do with the cyst I have on my ovary–it is still not resolved– i go to the doc on the 22nd, so we’ll see what he thinks about it
AND talked to the child care worker ladies…they are all so nice-
The workout doesn’t look like much but it was plenty–the focus is weight loss–muscle maintenance Smiling
Diet so far has been good
1 C (carrots)
2 Greens (stir fry veggies and tomatoes)
3 Proteins (turkey and eggs)
2 Fats (dark turkey fat, lol and nuts)
NO idea what supper will be– we are watching part of the game for sure– I want Ohio to win.
Gotta go~

p.s. just wanted to add I did 10 min on my new stair master–very cool!! I put it in my living room yesterday
Wrap up for the week and WHAT IS your plan???
Posted by buffmother in Goal Setting (POA), Running on July 23rd, 2006
Hello!!
Happy Sunday—I am a bit bummed…we missed church today, so I feel like I am missing something–
The weather this weekend has been beautiful- much cooler and a bit breezy…so much better than the triple digits we had all of last week.
So I got my booty out for a run outside and dang! that was a killer!! I’ve only been running on the treddy as of late and MAN- it is so much more effective outside. While on my run I decided my goal is to keep up with my outdoor running and get TRACK ready in 2 weeks. I have not ran on the TRACK since my Junior year in college–so 10 years!! Can you believe it? It is a mental demon of mine, I want to go to the Track, but I am scared kinda–I know it sounds weird, but I have a lot of emotions tied to it.
Well, I am having good success buffing–my tummy is getting smaller along with my booty, lol. Speaking of which–I am an Apple body type as I have stated many times, but that does not mean that my butt doesn’t get fat–it does. And it has been a little bigger here the past month (my DH says it is a medium size instead of its normal small size version, lol) I have a good distribution of my fat–meaning I gain weight very evenly all over my body, but the first and last place I gain and lose is my stomach. 127 is my current weight–my goal is to be 126 by FRIDAY- so one more pound this week–very doable!
My wrap up from last week looks like this:
Monday- Chest/tris/pushups 4 min elliptical warm up, no intervals- electricity went out at the gym
Tuesday- Back/Bi’s Shoulders- 12min warm up- 20 min running intervals-10 min steady r-bike and Grocery shopping- this has to count as some sort of cardio, right?
Wednesday- OFF totally
Thursday- officially started buffing- took some pictures of me at 128 17 min r-bike warm up- KILLLER LEGS
Friday- Chest/tri’s/push ups/ tons of abs- warm up 30 min r-bike, GREAT intervals run on treddy 28 min total
Saturday- Back/Bi’s/Shoulders only 8 min warm up
Sunday- Run intervals outside- make ab video weight =127
So the plan for this week is the following:
M- Legs
T-Chest-run outside
W-back-intervals on elliptical
Thurs-Legs- run too? Hard on leg day but we’ll see
Fri-Chest-intervals on elliptical
Sat-Back, run outside-snap a set of progress pictures- goal is to weight 126 at this point
Sun-off
Did you week turn out to be a good workout week? And What is your plan for this week of workouts?
Have a super sunday!!
-Michelle
