Yey ladies!! I can’t believe the final week of our 2014 SuperSTAR Success contest is already here!!
This week’s Challenge is to FINISH the contest!!
Please know that 10 weeks is a long time and I understand if you may feel you didn’t stay as intense or focused or as consistent as you had hoped, but no matter what you did progress!! Just Trying creates a lot of mental and physical changes that you need to acknowledge. PLEASE FINISH and complete your entry.
The act of FINISHING itself is a HUGE WIN! You owe it to yourself, you have nothing to lose and a FREE “BuffMother!” shirt to gain for your final entry submission!! I also know that once you take stock of your results you will be surprised at how you did change in MIND, BODY and Spirit!!
This past weekend, NDSU Bison Basketball team played SanDiego State University in the March Madness Division 1 tournament. They exceeded everyone’s expectations. I love how well the Bison BB team did…a true testament that “Success breeds Success”!! As their football program have been National Champs for the past 3 years. I have all the confidence in the world that NDSU will be a GREAT Division 1 contender in all Sports as the years move forward!! GO BISON!! It’s a great reminder that if you want to be successful surround yourself with success!!
Are you unsure of your goals, mission or purpose in life?? No worries, start attacking an interest and pray…you will be lead you to your goal, mission and purpose! God drives us to accomplish our dream, through our actions!!

Here’s a great pic of my 3 girls from this weekend:

My POA for the week:
*Not much UPPER BODY, due to very sore right shoulder. I’m giving myself 2 more weeks off most upper body stuff. On a side note, my shoulder was very sore from just running even…that’s how I know I really need to baby it still.
M- run hills outside with some sprints at end and do some extra bike afterwards T- legs and possibly some steady bike
W- longer run of intervals + extra steady, about a 30 min total duration. Outside if possible. Th- try a few upper body things- stuff that isn’t heavy or use much of the shoulder– some biceps? kids are out of school…will be very active
F- LEGS AGAIN hard!!
Sa- run @track maybe!! Acceleration work plus some fun stuff with kids, like long jump 
Su- off workouts, but will do pics and stats and final entry stuff.
Here’s the log from my last run on Saturday. On treadmill…the first 20 mins were intervals ranging from 8 to 9mph with the incline of 2-3.5%, easy minutes were done at 7mph. The second 15 mins was a steady pace of 8mph, 7:30 pace at 2.5% grade. I ran hard but felt good!
My weight today is 128.0 and I am on cycle day 14. Feeling good overall, but still a bit more tired than I’d like. I learned some new info about hemoglobin and ferritin (iron) levels this past weekend plus have been doing some research on the treatment options for MTHFR gene mutation.
I’ll share more about all that with you very soon!!
My “final” contest weight goal will be 126…I don’t plan on doing any sort of dehydration or depletion for my photos. However if you’d like some “photoshoot” prep tips, look for me to post those later today in the forum.
Time for me to ATTACK my to do list!
Let’s kick it in this week, Ellie
