Great day! Heck it’s been a great YEAR!
Posted by buffmother in BUTT, Chest workout (triceps), Goal Setting (POA), Legs, hormonal timing on January 7th, 2010
Today has been a GREAT Day!! As a matter of fact it’s been a great year so far for me! I’ve just been HAPPY, Happy, HAPPY for the most part!
Jan 1-The year started on Friday with a great day spent with my DH~ we had spen NYE in a hotel and then the entire rest of the day together, thanks to Grandma Mary watching our little monkeys for us….
Jan 2- I went to workout and brought the girls shopping to target where I scored some much needed sweat pants and a few shirts!! Then we had another great day of family time and football and FIGHTS~ we ended up purchasing the UFC despite the card being really bad- Dana White needs to put together some better cards!! or he’s going to lose some of his fan base!
Jan 3- Super Football SUNDAY!!! I was so happy that the Vikinings played and KICKED tail!! then the Cowboys kicked the EAGLES tail so that the Vikings got a better playoff position- YAY!! (oh an it was cycle day 1)
Jan 4- I worked, got caught up on a lot of stuff, enjoyed it and even enjoyed the kids still being home from school due to the snow day- I went to the chiro and got my butt feeling better~ then I got in a good interval workout on the upright bike.
Jan 5- www.buffmother.com‘s GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY!! It’s been 5 years of AWSOME! I’ve loved being able to give hope to women all over the world ~ God has really blessed my life through my website! I also went to my MMA class~ It was another BLAST!! I love it~ we actually did some semi-live rolling and I feel like I did very good! IT WAS FUN!!! Then to the gym to get in a run and lift with chest…I am still dealing with my butt being weird, but it’s definantly better than before I went to the chiro.
Jan 6 – It’s almost 9pm and I just got home from the gym…my workout was way later than planned, but that is better than not getting it done.
My weight is up to 135 ….crazy but I feel good! I am not fretting my weight right now because I know a bunch of it is water weight from all sorts of things: salt, carbs, carbonation, wheat, dairy, hormones, creatine, etc…
cday 1- 131
cday 2- 133
cday 3- 135 (weight up from STEAK dinner and CARBS)
Okay…On to my to do list issues. Yesterday I planned to write a to do list, well….it really didn’t happen. I got a start on it and then i got “paralyzed” by it. My list is way to long! I need help!!! I think for the rest of today I’ll focus hard on getting a bit more “caught Up” with my e-mails and by tomorrow I may be ready to focus on a to do list. My hormones should be cooperating better on cycle day 4~ my mental HIGH days are coming soon, I can feel it!!!!
here’s a quick POA for my workouts the remainder of the week:
Thurs- MMA class at noon
Fri-Chiro appt @10:30; Back,sh, bi and run intervals
Sat-chest, tris, abs
Sunday- run intervals
Hope all of you are having a GREAT 2010, I sure am!!
Love and THANKS!!

“wanting to” becomes DOING IT!
Posted by buffmother in Back workouts (bis & shoulders), Intervals on December 17th, 2009
9 days till Christmas!! and Grandma is on her way….my kids are so excited!!! I am excited too, but have lots and lots to do before the holiday! I was engulfed in Gracie’s birthday and now I am prepping for my “day in the life photo-story” interview with the paper on Friday, that I must force myself to get some FOCUS on Christmas!
Anways guess what????
After years of “wanting to” I finally did it! I took my first MMA class…it was so fun!!! For those of you who don’t know….MMA is mixed martial arts…are you familiar with the UFC? it’s basically training that encompasses boxing, kick-boxing, grappling (wrestling), ground fighting, submissions, etc…
We did some mitt hitting/boxing training yesterday 
And today I am sore in weird places from it, like my rib cage? and CALVES! wow- we did some major jumping drills. Let me see if I can remember what we did:
tabata intervals 20 sec on; 10 sec off 5 rounds of each exercise:
Burpees
Staight punches on heavy bag
Kettle ball squat/front raises- 15# KB one arm each round- I should have gone a little heavier on these
Hooks on heavy bag
Squats on Med ball as fast as possible- hands up by face- man that’s low!
Kicks on heavy bag
Jumps touching knees to palms- these were totally killer!
Mitt hitting with trainer (3 or 4 rounds total)- learned how to do several combinationsusing the following: jab, straight, cross, hook, uppercut
While the other girl hit with trainer I did coordination training with:
Double end speed bag
Speed bag
Then we watched a video of the trainer’s fight she had over the weekend…it was very cool to see! She’s a little firecracker!
After the training I went directly to the gym…I lifted a little back, bi, shoulder and abs then ran intervals on the tready
Assisted pull ups (2 sets)
paired with weighted roman chair knee ups (20 pound DB between feet)- 15, 10+more unweighted
Cybex Lat pulls- 3 sets
paired with knee ups on bench
hammer strength bicep curl machine 3 sets
paired with shoulder press machine- 3 sets
Bicep focus inverted pull ups (2 sets)
paired with T-bar Row- 2 sets
abs on ball 2 sets
paired with db bicep curls 2 sets
20 min running intervals at 8, 9 and a couple at 9.5mph rest mins off for 20 sec then 40sec at 7mph
Well, i am off to clean, shop and workout before Grandma arrives…she spent the night in Council Bluffs so she’ll be here in around the time the kids get home.
Have a super stellar day!!
Love,
Michelle

I found my peace today in sleeping in….I had a little Layla join me, she is still not feeling 100%, but it was what I needed a bit of extra sleepy time with a little 4 year old.

then cardio fighting with my BOB~ It was a blast!! I WILL incorporate more of this in my workouts!!
UFC last night, was very disappointing. All but one of “my fighters” lost…I like Bispbing who did win, but he didn’t deserve it, the fight was “fixed” in my opinion. OH well, that’s the sport, you never know what’s gonna happen!!
I am excited for this week!!! I’ll post my plan and stuff in the morning,
time to get the kids to bed!!
