Well I got about half of my Christmas Cards sent out~ the ones to Ya’ll!!
and I also sent out a bunch of book promo stuff….So that feels GREAT!!!
I also did my workout today 100 “Perfect Push Ups” in 5 sets of 20 reps. …Have you seen the infomercial for The Perfect Push-UP? I’ve been using mine for the past 3 months and I love them!! They make my push ups so much more effective and comfortable. The ones I did today were standard push ups…not like the girl style that I am displaying in this photo
and 100 lunges with 60# on my back, again in 5 sets of 20 reps It was a good one!
my plan is to finally get to the gym again tomorrow :yay: and do a killer leg/butt workout!!
I am giving several items to 2 Christmas Angels through our church…Gunner and I are going to shop for those on our date tomorrow too! We have a busy morning of shopping planned, followed by a workout, followed by hanging Christmas lights outside and then the UFC TUF Final on SPIKE!!! I am excited to see Huerta fight and to see who wins the TUF finale– Mac or Tommy…I am rooting for the MN boy Tommy  (he is probably the underdog)
Anyhow… I cooked a turkey today– YUMMY!! I can’t wait to eat it
I love you guys, have a fun weekend!!

I have a sore bod! I think the only part of me that isn’t sore is my biceps–they hardly EVER get sore…those tiny little things are so durable, LMAO!
Thus, not being able to visit the gym due to my DD being sick has been a blessing in disguise. WHO, by the way, she is doing much better…I think she will go to school tomorrow! Thanks for your prayers!
I am giving some of April’s TOFFEE to a few people…that is if she can get it to me in time with her on vacation this week and all….I think it will be a great gift for some teachers and some co-workers — it is YUMMERS!!
www.ToffeeCreations.net… if you are curious.
Okay, so my workouts and POA have been a bit modified due to my soreness and no gym the past 2 days. I did manage to keep my momentum though by doing “something”
Last night I did:
12pullups
40 sit ups
10 pull ups
35 sit ups
*missed my lunges…I feel bad about that, but my BUTT was and is still very sore!*
Then tonight I did
120 lunges YAY! I think I’ll be able to do some with weight again tomorrow!!
5 sets of 7-8 bicep curls- 60’s on curl bar
Bent over rows with the same bar- 4 sets
That’s it!
In other news I spent all day Sunday updating and imputing addresses into my outlook contacts, now if I could just figure out how to merge those addys into labels I would be so HAPPY!!…I tried today to mail merge- NOT!
I can’t believe how hard that is! I am clueless!!! how frustrating~~
BUT, I think I will try again tomorrow!
Well, I am off to finish some Christmas Cards for my TEAM BuffMother! friends….
Love ya,
BuffMother!

I’ve been inspired by the Focus on Soulution theme for the month. In the planning stage of that, I put each day’s topic on a calendar. NOW I’ve taken that concept to my life….Each day I’ve written down my “project” and refuse to be “free” until it is done. Today, I got it DONE by 1:15~ what a great feeling!!Then I went shopping at the NATURAL FOOD store…bought Ezekiel bread for the first time EVER(yum)~ some rose water, some green drink, some oregonal, some natural olives and some other stuff…It was fun to browse through all the unique items in the store. I could have spent hours
Another cool thing that I’ve been thinking about is doing some boxing training…one of my clients really helped give me a “push” on this one- thanks for making it sound so FUN! Anyhow, I got in contact with a girl on MY SPACE not realizing I KNEW her and found out about a women’s boxing class at a local gym~ I may have to try it out…but need to wait for my ankle to finish healing. It is still quite sore from my sprain 6 weeks ago.I am getting really EXCITED to workout again…just what I had hoped for! I don’t know what I’d do if I LOST that desire~ I don’t plan on EVER quitting. I’ll be a BuffGREATGREATGrandmother!!
Love ya,
Michelle

First off~Thanks for all the congrats and kind words about my bodyspace member of the month interview…It has been so nice to feel the LOVE
It looks like summer is on full boar and ya’ll are really enjoying it, cuz’ it’s dead in cyberspace, lol! It was a lazy summer weekend around here too and we enjoyed all of it.
Yesterday we went for a walk up in Bella Vista around the lake a 1.8 mile trek followed by playtime at the park and McDonalds for lunch afterward. The kids had fun and so did I and GRANDMA….
Then today we spent sometime at the mall~ I returned a couple dresses and bought some RAINBOW flip flops~The kids were GREAT all day and we’ve all gotten some much needed rest.
ON tap for this week is continued “off” for me from workouts~ it feels really good to have a BREAK from the pressure to fit it in. I try to do this about twice a year- and I always come back stronger than ever! As for the kids, they’ll be busy with swimming lessons, Gramma’s last day here is tomorrow (sad)…and this is Gracie’s last week of preschool EVER!! She’ll get a week off before she starts kindergarten on the 6th- I am amazed, I thought the day would never come, lol!
~ I will join in on Booty challenge that’s going on in my RR on the 30th with that!! ! CAN’T WAIT!!
Yesterday I promised pictures…here they are! Some Pictures from this past b-day week
Have a great week~
Michelle

I believe I have had a great month of BELIEF building this MONTH!! There is HUGE power in believing!! WE must believe we can have what we desire in order to ever see it happen. That is why we must learn how to believe. Simply saying positive things about your body, your workouts and you nutrition will enable you to start believing them. For instance if you look in the mirror and see a fat belly looking back- tell that image, YOU will be tiny and flat soon! That will help you start to believe that it will happen. By doing it continually you will take action towards making that happen and soon your belief will be a reality!! BELEIVE that you can be buff and don’t settle for anything less than a spectacular life!! You can live your dream!!! Believe it!!

Belief quote for today:

 I believe in PURPOSE. WE ALL have a purpose for our lives…do you have a vision of what your’s is? I know mine…it is to HELP WOMEN- as simple as that! I’d like to help every woman in the world have HOPE- I want to share the message that they have the power to change their body, life and legacy.Does that sound do-able? LOL! I BELIEVE it is!!
Now, I have not always had this VISION for my PURPOSE…it has taken time, effort and GOD’s timing to reveal it in my life. I’ve only had a CLEAR VISION for my purpose for the past 2-3 years. Until then I was searching and honestly more than a little frustrated…I had an uneasy feeling, I knew I was supposed to do something, but WHAT??
I really believe that God puts me through every part of my life for a reason…even the bad parts. I now see how things that seemed bad at the moment have now turned to work for my favor. I’ve also gained a ton of WISDOM through my struggles and my triumphs. Without the past 32 years of my life I wouldn’t be me and I wouldn’t be ready to attack my PURPOSE.
A couple books that helped me in finding my purpose are: the BIBLE, “Reduce me to LOVE” by Joyce Meyer and “The Prayer of Jabez” by Bruce Wilkinson
Today, was upper body workout day with my SIL at 8:30! I am an early bird!!

Dips 10

Ran on treddy for 21 mins- longer intervals woven in using incline for some and speed for some.
Keep on Believing and keep striving towards your PURPOSE…YOU HAVE ONE!!
Love,
Michelle

 Booty workout day~
Today Gunner took a ton of photos of me…he did such a GREAT job!
First he did progress pics, then some video of back posing, then workout pics and then ab work pics. We worked hard for over 3 hours. Then we took off to the library. It was the first time we’ve gone since the NEW one opened. It is very nice! Then it was late– already 4:30…and I still need to hit the gym. Here is what I did today with my booty on my mind in about 45 mins:

I took progress pics and measurements today too. I have leaned up a bit over the last 2 weeks, lost one pound and my measurements reflect muscle gain and fat loss also!! I am right on track to be VERY ready for my shoot on Friday~
Well gotta get the kids to bed!
Keep up the GREAT focus,
Michelle
