~~BuffMother! GET BUFF~~

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!

HI all~ well…My day yesterday went off track somewhere around noon, lol!
I was TIRED and DONE by 6:30….so I didn’t get my workout done, but that’s okay! I know some days things just don’t permit us to be SUPERHEROs, lol!!

So today I am DETERMINED to stay on TRACK!! I am home with my twins, they are such good little girls! Twins are really interesting to observe smile

I am refreshed and rocked Legs at the gym!! I should have been really strong as I weigh 4-5 pounds more than I did just 4 days ago from the NOXCG3 I’ve been taking
and NOW I’ve decided NO MORE creatine for me right now! I took if for a total of 5 days and that combined with the other 4 days on "old creatine" I am DONE! It served it’s purpose in helping keep me from "wicked" soreness, but it seems to give some joint stiffness/aches,  feet cramps and bloats me BAD!…so that’s enough this round of Creatine. The next time I take it I’ll go for another variety and see if I respond without quite so many side effects.

Here’s my leg workout
warm up: stair mill 4 mins only smile
Squats
45×20
95×10
135×7
155×6
135×10

no weight
50 full ones in a row

Barbell lunges
65×10x3

Dead lifts (stiff leg)
65×10x3

Hanging knee ups
15, 12, 10

Knee extensions (various foot positions)
80×15
120×10
130×10x2
Leg curls feet straight
70×10x2
80×10

That was it~ and I am trying to get my eats on track still… I think I need to go grocery shopping… It would really help to have more healthy choices on hand.

Toodles,
Michelle
