Meet BuffMother! Dayle of ID!
Dayle of ID
I wanted to see where I could take my body and mind with a more committed mindset. I wanted to lower my BF% and lose 10 lbs. I also wanted to show ladies that they CAN fit fitness into their busy schedules (and even at home) whether they are a stay-at-home mom, single mom, working mom…whatever. I reached all but 1 of these goals (I only lost 7.5 lbs.) I proved to myself that when I set my mind to something that I CAN DO IT no matter what life stresses come my way.
This challenge underlined the fact that achieving a healthy body is not all about vanity; it can benefit you in more ways than one can ever imagine. This challenge showed me just how powerful my mind is. I was determined to be both mentally and physically strong during my time spent in Oklahoma. When my dad was still alive but was quickly deteriorating, I told myself that I HAD to continue to workout and take care of myself so I could physically help my mom with housework and physically help my dad if he fell or needed help walking or if he needed to be moved in his bed. When I went back for the second time I told myself that I HAD to continue to workout to keep me mentally strong and to channel my feelings into my workouts in order to keep me sane and keep me strong for my family.
My girls saw me continue to work out no matter what was going on. They were able to see me fit my healthy habits into my daily grind just as I would any other daily task. Now after they wake up and get dressed, part of their before school tasks is to do 5 minutes of exercise!

Why did you enter the SSS contest by BuffMother?
To get back on track…I had been getting the workouts in but not as consistent or as INTENSE as I used to and it shows!! Not only was I feeling sluggish and non-motivated but my lack of BUFFNESS had resulted in a loss of muscle tone and a gain of about 10 lbs. since December ’08!! I joined the contest because I needed the committment to accountability and the support of the RR to achieve my goals. This was also my first challenge BC *FREE* and I was excited to see what changes were ahead of me…good or bad.
What tactics did you use to stay focused and engaged for the entire 70 days?
KathyK and I either texted or emailed our POA’s to each other daily. I returned to more consistent blogging and changed the tone of my blogs to document more of my eating plans. I had my DH join me for the first half of the SSS and I loved the support and the togetherness. I also fed off of the new energy! There are many new RR members that are in their BuffMother “honeymoon” phase and it was energizing!
How do you feel about your success? I feel great! I did not make much physical change (and actually suprised that I did actually go down a few inches) but I am super excited about the other changes…my consistency was back and my eats had a major shift! I went from working out off and on to scheduling it into my daily life again. It also seemed like all of a sudden the eating part just clicked! I was choosing foods because I wanted to, not because I felt like I had to buckle down because of a contest. For several weeks I ate 90% clean every day with only 1 big cheat meal for the week! That is *HUGE* for me. The eats clicked mentally for me this time! WOOHOO!
What obstacles did you have to overcome in order to attain your goals?
Can you say FT job, 2 kids and a husband? I am not special in any way…I am not unlike any other woman, but I do have a lot to juggle and the inconsistency with balance, lack of energy and overscheduling myself contributed to why I lost the muscle and gained the 10 lbs. over the past year. Jeff worked out with me for the first few weeks of the SSS. I used to always workout on my own so this gave me a different kind of motivation. After about 5 weeks Jeff got really sick and had to take some time off…he never really got back in. I never realized how much I depended on his presence during workouts until he was gone. Honestly, I think that was when my workouts got a little sluggish.
What would you like to tell the world about BuffMother?
I would like for women to know that HT is the key to unlocking their potential! You ARE different and that is alright! With HT you learn to listen to your body and respect your hormones! Stop looking for quick fixes, the pills and the surgeries. YOU can do this! YOU can make these changes and you want to tell people that YOU did this! Earn this! This is why I love BuffMother. It is something you can put hard work into and earn all on your own!

“All-Star” Lisa from NE!
This woman knows how to hit it hard and be a success in whatever she does.From the moment I met Lisa through www.BuffMother.com, I have been captivated by her determination to LIVE life to its fullest. She successfully juggled her career as a chiropractor, and job as a mother of 3 young children while training hard for her first figure contest. (Which she won!) I know Lisa will accomplish all her goals because she stays positive and always gets it done!
Lisa has had a ton of fun since embracing a BuffMother mentality…she’s competed as a figure athlete and model, she’s been sponsored by a nutrition store, been on billboards and on t.v., and been in Oxygen Magazine.
Lisa has been in “Contest mode once again this year and did an amazing job at the Minnesota Fitness America P agent this spring.
Here’s a FUN picture of her tan body and kids at that event~
She is competing once again this weekend for the first time in a new show with a new federation- the NPC Omaha Showdown And that’s not all…she’s been busy with a new business venture on Sept 1st her NEW BOUTIQUE~~ Oolala! L.A. Boutique will open!! CONGRATS LISA!! You are an ALL STAR for sure!

Lisa of NE – I think Hormonal Timing could be a major breakthrough for women’t fitness. I love it!! I thought “this is so cool, it really makes sense”. As a chiropractor, I’ve taken seminars and studied a lot on the female hormones, cycles and nutrition. I think the key point to HT is that your workouts change as you are going through hormonal fluctuations in your cycle. |
Lisa’s Testimony
I think hormonal timing (HT) could be a major breakthrough for women’s fitness. I love it!! When I first read about it, I thought “this is so cool, it really makes sense.” As a chiropractor, I’ve taken seminars and studied a lot on the female hormones, cycles and nutrition. I think the key point to HT is that your workouts change as you are going through hormonal fluctuations in your cycle. The second half of the month can be a time of stress, increased emotions, depressed feelings, bloating, pain, etc. So having a workout that is less intense and being able to eat more calories just makes sense! Personally Hormonal Timing has helped me establish consistency. The coolest part is that HT is a long term plan, something I will do for life!! I have been following HT training for over two years now (began Spring 2007). I have completely transformed my body from soft, flabby and just kinda skinny fat after losing the baby weight, to a fit, athletic muscular yet feminine physique. Here’s my story. . . .
My youngest of 3 children was 1 year old. I had lost all the weight I had gained during pregnancy, but was left with a body that I was not happy with. I was skinny fat ~ Yuck! I felt and looked flabby, I wanted a tight muscular athletic look. I loved looking at the muscular physiques of the women in popular fitness magazines. That was the look I wanted. What better way is there to get the look of a figure competitor than to compete!
I was inspired and knew what I wanted, but I didn’t know how to get there. I started searching the web for any helpful information on competing. What I found would change my life! Buffmother.com captivated me – Michelle Berger, Buffmother, was a mother of 4 children who had won 5 figure titles the year after having twins. When I found her site, I read everything she wrote and joined her private members area for women only, the Rally Room. I hoped that by joining the Rally Room I would learn more about what Buffmother did to transform her body. My hopes were exceeded beyond my wildest dreams! I learned about Michelle’s revolutionary Hormonal Timing training program that revolves around your monthly cycles and hormone patterns. I made friendships with other women in the Rally Room who also had a quest for health and fitness. Most of all, the women in the Rally Room gave me encouragement which motivated me more than I ever thought possible!
I competed 6 times over the next year in Figure and Bikini contests, placing high in all the contests. Many times I was competing against girls 10 -15 years younger than me. They were always amazed to hear I that I am the mother of 3 children! It was an amazing experience competing with athletes of that caliber.
Now, I am almost 40 years old and in the best shape of my life!!! I owe it all to hormonal timing, Buffmother Michelle, the girls in the Rally Room, and of course a lot of hard work! It is hard work, but it is sooo worth it. I love feeling and looking healthy. I want to set a good example for my children.
At this point in time, I am done competing for now (maybe in 2010, maybe??). Instead, I am excited to help train other women in their quest for health and fitness. I am now one of Michelle’s Buffmother Hormonal Timing Trainers. I am setting up online training programs and loving helping others!
Oh yes!! FREEDOM!

The fights last night were great and have me hankering for taking my mma class again. I am still dealing with my sciatic a bit- I am 90-95% healthy and think by Sept I may be able to go to class. My goal is to use August as a “get ready” month…so I’ll integrate some boxing, kicking and grappling into my workouts.
In other news…VIKINGS training camp is well underway!! And I am so anxious to see them play~ I just love, love, love the sport of football. It’s my favorite sport by far! anyhow…Favre is still unsure of his return, but I believe he will come back- AND that the VIKES will be SuperBowl Bound!
