HI Ya!

So I’m working on my YouTube page a bit…trying to improve it.  I have so many videos on there but very few of them are edited or done well.  My goal for the next 6 months is to consistently pump out better vidoes with content that people want to see.

Anyhow, I’m having my banner redone and I think the motto “let me be your BuffMother” is a good theme for the channel.

I will do helpful videos with a “motherly advice” type tone…along with some funny videos about mothers thrown in.

I am a fitness guru so many of my topics will be about fitness, diet, food, but that won’t mean I won’t be doing videos about beauty, fashion, style, self-improvement, DIY’s Etc…

I also love doing product review videos.

I’ve also been looking up some fun MOTHER related things to help spur on my creativity.

Here’s a ton of sayings that MOTHERS are known for saying all too often:

A little “birdy” told me!
All I do is follow you around, picking up after you like some maid.
Am I talking to a brick wall?
Are you deaf or something?
Are you lying to me?
As long as you live under my roof, you’ll do as I say.
Beds are NOT made for jumping on.
Call me when you get there, just so I know you’re okay.
Close the door! You don’t live in a barn.
Did you brush your teeth?
Did you comb your hair?
Do as I say, not as I do.
Do you think I’m made of money?
Do you think your socks are going to pick themselves up?
Don’t break your arm patting yourself on the back.
Don’t eat that, you’ll get worms!
Don’t go out with a wet head, you’ll catch cold.
Don’t make me get up!

Don’t pick that scab, it’ll get infected.

Don’t pick your nose in public.
Don’t run in the house.
Don’t sit too close to the television, it’ll ruin your eyes.
Don’t talk with your mouth full!
Don’t walk away when I’m talking to you!
Eat your vegetables, they’re good for you.

Enough is enough!
Go play outside! It’s a beautiful day!
Going to a party? Leave a phone number in case I need to call.

Going to a party? Who’s going to be there?

Going to a party? Will the parents be home?
How do you know you don’t like it if you haven’t tasted it?
I brought you into this world, and I can take you right back out!
I can’t believe you can sleep in this filth!
I didn’t ask who put it there, I said “Pick it up!”
I don’t care what “everyone” is doing. I care what YOU are doing!

I don’t have to explain myself. I said no.
I hope someday you have children just like you.
I just want what’s best for you.
I will always love you – no matter what.
If God had wanted you to have holes in your ears (eyebrows, tongue, etc.) He would have put them there!

If it were a snake, it would have bitten you.
If wishes were horses…
If you could stay out last night, you can get up this morning.
If you don’t do it NOW, then when are you going to do it?
If you stick your tongue out again it will fall off.
If you’re too sick to go to school, you’re too sick to play outside.
I’m doing this for your own good.
I’m going to skin you alive!
I’m not going to ask you again.
I’m not your cleaning lady!
I’m not your waitress!
Isn’t it past your bedtime?
It’s not that I don’t trust you, it’s that I don’t trust everyone else.

Life isn’t fair.
Look at me when I’m talking to you.
Money does NOT grow on trees.
No child of MINE would do something like that.
Nobody asked you.

Over my dead body!

Pick that up before somebody trips on it and breaks their neck!

Pick up your feet.

Put that down! You don’t know where it’s been!

Say that again and I’ll wash your mouth out with soap.

Shut the door! I’m not heating (air conditioning) the entire neighborhood!

Shut your mouth and eat.

So it’s raining? You’re not sugar — you won’t melt.

So what if Bob’s mom let him do it? If Bob’s mom let him jump off the Empire State Building, would you want me to let you do it too?

Someone is going to end up crying.
There’s enough dirt in those ears to grow potatoes!
This hurts me more than it hurts you.
Turn that racket (music) down!
Watch your mouth!
Well, I haven’t figured out how to cook “cold” yet.
Well, people in Hell want ice water too!
What did I say the FIRST time?
What if everyone jumped off a cliff? Would you do it, too?
What part of NO don’t you understand?
When I was a little girl…

When I was young we had respect for our elders, now look at the world!

When I was your age, I had to walk ten miles through the snow, uphill, by myself, to go to school.
When will you be back?
When you have your own house then you can make the rules!
Where do YOU think you’re going?
Who died and left you boss?
Who do you think you’re talking to?
Who taught you THAT? You didn’t learn that in this house!
Wipe your feet!

You can’t find it? Well, I can’t find it for you – I didn’t wear it!

You can’t find it? Well, I can’t find it for you – I’m not the maid!

You can’t find it? Well, if you’d put things where they belonged, you wouldn’t have this problem.

You can’t find it? Well, where did you leave it last?
You can’t start the day on an empty stomach.

You don’t always get what you want. It’s a hard lesson, but you might as well learn it now.
You have an answer for everything, don’t you?
You kids are trying to drive me crazy!
You must think rules are made to be broken.

You won’t be happy until you break that, will you?

You’ll understand when you’re older.

A little soap & water never killed anybody.

Always wear clean underwear in case you get in an accident.

Answer me when I ask you a question!

Are you going out dressed like that?

Are your hands broken? Pick it up yourself! I’m not your maid!

Be good.

Bored! How can you be bored? I was never bored at your age.

Clean up after yourself!

Cupcakes are NOT a breakfast food!

Did you clean your room?

Did you flush?

Do you live to annoy me?

Do you think this is a hotel? You can’t just come here only to sleep.

Don’t ask me WHY. The answer is NO.

Don’t cross your eyes or they’ll freeze that way.

Don’t EVER let me catch you doing that again!

Don’t make me come in there!

Don’t put that in your mouth, you don’t know where it’s been.

Don’t run with a lollipop in your mouth.

Don’t stay up too late!

Don’t use that tone with me!

Don’t you have anything better to do?

Go ask your father.

Go to your room and think about what you did!

How can you have nothing to wear? Your closet is FULL of clothes!

How many times do I have to tell you?

I can always tell when you’re lying.

I can’t believe you did that!

I don’t buy snacks to feed the neighborhood!

I don’t care who started it, I said stop!

I don’t care who started it, YOU stop it!

I don’t know is NOT an answer.

I hope you don’t kiss me with that mouth!

I said CLOSE the door, I did not say SLAM it.

I would have never talked to MY mother like that!

If I catch you doing that one more time, I’ll…

If I want your opinion I’ll ask for it!

If I’ve told you once … I’ve told you a thousand times.

If you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all.

If you don’t clean your plate, you won’t get any dessert.

If you don’t stop crying, I am going to give you something to cry about!

If you’re too full to finish your dinner, you’re too full for dessert.

I’ll treat you like an adult when you start acting like one.

I’m going to give you until the count of three…

I’m not always going to be around to do these things for you.

I’m not running a taxi service.

I’m not your maid!

Is your homework finished?

It’s no use crying over spilt milk.

I’ve had it up to here with you.

Leave your sister (brother) alone!

Little pitchers have big ears.

Look at this room! It looks like a pigsty!

Never try on anyone else’s glasses or you’ll go blind.

No, I don’t know where your socks are, its not my day to watch them!

Now, come back downstairs and go back up WITHOUT stomping your feet!

Now, say you’re sorry…and MEAN it!

Running away? Don’t let the door hit you in the rear.

Running away? I’ll help you pack.

Running away? Is that a threat or a promise?

Some day you will thank me for this. SMACK!!!

Someday your face will freeze like that

The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.

Think of those poor starving children in India… (or China, or Africa.)

Turn off that light. Do you think we own the electric company?

Watch your language!

Well, people in Hades want ice water, but do you see me with a PITCHER?

Were you born in a barn? Close the door — and DON’T slam it!

What do you think, money grows on trees?

What kind of a grade is that? You could do much better!

When did your last slave die?

When I was your age…

When you have kids of your own you’ll understand.

Where are you going?

Who are you going with? Do I know them?

Who do you think you are?

Who said life was going to be easy?

Why? Because I SAID so, that’s why!

You are getting on my last nerve.

You can go out to play…after you brush your teeth and comb your hair.

You can go out to play…after you pick up your room.

You can go out to play…after you’ve done your homework.

You can’t judge a book by its cover.

You could grow potatoes in those ears!

You could have called.

You had better wipe that smile off your face before I do it for you.

You just ate an hour ago!

You made your bed, now lie in it.

You should have that phone surgically implanted in your ear.

You WILL eat it, and you WILL like it!

You’d forget your head if it wasn’t attached to your shoulders!

You will ALWAYS be my baby.

You’re going to put your eye out with that thing!

Your father is going to hear about this when HE gets home!

You’re the oldest. You should know better.

TGIF ladies!!

This week has been full of big changes at our house. For the last 5+ years my husband has been a “one man” office with his career.  The positions he’s held have been very high level, high stress, requiring high amounts of travel, but they were flexible and allowed him to work from home often and spend minimal time at his actual office during normal work weeks.  This week that changed, he has teamed up with a brokerage company in Bentonville and is now traveling to the office daily, leaving here at 6:30. That’s a BIG change for all of us!  He’s done well adjusting, even got himself a gym membership so he can workout over lunch. I am so excited for him and the possibles that this new venture holds!

Anyhow, FRIDAY now has even more meaning, lol!

Today’s goal is to get in the workout I was scheduled to do yesterday.  I was BEAT yesterday.  Sore from head to toe and 100% EXAHUSTED….So, I took the day off and feel much better today.

Upper body lifting and intervals is on tap…Not sure what kind of intervals I’ll do, but it is a BEAUTIFUL sunny day here and I would love to get outside.

On Wednesday I did get in my run of intervals, I ran outside, 4 loops and 4 hills~ took my time with it, had some extra “walking” recovery than normal so it took me about 28 mins.  I also did some serious T-ABS work.  I used one of those waist wraps and wore it nice and tight for about 3 hours. It was hard work, lol!  I’ll do that again today while I’m working at my standing work station.

My eats on Wednesday were perfect too!!

Yesterday, not so much…I didn’t eat much and I also had a couple glasses of wine.  I opted for the wine instead of beer which actually was a big win for me, since I love beer!  The wine we drank was a “taste testing” of sorts. Travis is working with a wine company now and we had FREE SAMPLE bottles! They were both very good– a Pinot Noir and a Chardonnay.  I had a little over a glass of both.

This morning, I saw a weight drop…135.4, my goal is to get back into the 120’s by the end of October.

It’s FOOTBALL Night again today, but Gunner won’t play much if any because he was out sick with the flu on Tues and Wednesday.  Thankfully he’s feeling much better!! He was tormenting his sisters last night, so I know he’s back to normal.

Hope you have a great FRIDAY!! Love ya, Michelle

Please excuse my SOAP BOX moment….

The way the term SPRINTING has been loosely used in the fitness world as of late drives me a little loony– true SPRINTING is not physically possible for any longer than about 20 seconds! NO ONE not even a seasoned track athlete can all out “SPRINT” for 1 minute. Sorry but none of us are FLO JO!

That said for true sprinting, you need to have longer recovery periods.
Let’s take 100m repeats as an example. Have a good warm up jog for 10 mins- do some dynamic warm up sprinting drills (high knees, A skip, B skip, Walking lunges, butt kicks, etc…) , sprint hard for the distance– typically you should be able to complete the 100m in about 20 sec or less.
Then walk a recovery of 3-10 minutes. Yes, I said 3 to 10 minutes and repeat. That’s how you get QUALITY Speed work and optimal hormone production from the sprints.
For the first time out sprinting I’d suggest only doing 1 to 3 x100m. Add 1 per session up to 10 repeats, you can do up to 2 quality sprinting workouts weekly but 1 a week is enough to see progress. Be sure to do a cool down after including some stretching for hip flexors, quads, hammies and calves.

To lean up, increasing your testosterone is key– sprints done properly can help do that!

PLEASE be advised, if you do not currently RUN at all, jumping into SPRINTING is very dangerous! Be sure to get a little base of running on your body prior to SPRINTING! What I do are 20 mins of running intervals 2 to 3 times a week (see intervals not sprints, lol) — warm up for 4 mins, run harder for 1 min, easier for 1 min repeat 6 times, then finish off the 20 mins as a cool down. You can start on the treadmill with this, then advance to doing it outside. I’d highly recommend doing your sprints outside too– sprinting on the treadmill can be very dangerous.

Hopes some of that helps– I also have this video on youtube for you https://youtu.be/rZlaNHlgXec

Me too!!

The theme is TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF this week…I’m on that bandwagon too!!

Just trying to allow my body to get STRONGER!  After having a very rough patch last month, I am allowing myself to chill A LOT this week.

 

I am a person who thrives when allowed to have a solid amount of “ALONE TIME”…my alone time has been very compromised the past 4 years with DH officing out of our house more than half of the time during that span. Plus my MIL would come live with us for the winter months.  I tell you what, last winter it drove me to a HIGH stress level…because I NEVER HAD MY ALONE TIME!

 

This past week I’ve gotten some good alone time and I feel like I’m playing catch up with it, ha!! It’s going to be GREAT to get a few weeks of it under my belt.  I feel my BRAIN becoming creative and EXCITED to attack projects again!  It’s fun!

 

I’m getting ready to hit my workout now– I’ve got upper body and intervals on tap today.

Hi Girls!!

How many posts can I post today!?  Let’s see…this is #2 so maybe I can fit in one more after this?

I skipped my intervals because I was BEAT and so I could shower before heading to Gracie’s VB game.  She played really well, but her team lost in a really close match.

 

Then last night I tried some more wine, I was a CHARDONNAY…very good, but man, I think wine gives me a headache.  I woke up with one today and the same headache happened last week after I drake wine.  Beer doesn’t do that

 

In other news, we still don’t have a new vehicle. We’ve been renting a car the past couple weeks, but today’s the last day the insurance will cover part of that.  We’ll probably rent just a bit longer and hopefully get a car very soon!

Travis is looking at used Honda Accords most recently…we’ll see!

 

Today’s workout needs to be a run outside.  It’s cooler here finally– in the 70’s so should be a great day to run!!

 

I’ll see about posting again after I get it done, HA!!!

Talk to you soon,

Michelle
