For years I have blogged every detail of my life publicly…After feeling like it’s gotten me NO WHERE. I’ve decided to just do a monthly “highlight” public blog so I have it for myself–
Here’s the HIGHLIGHTS of my private blog from www.TeamBuffMother.com

Hey all…the end of the summer must mean it’s time for sickness??? Anyhow, I’ve been under the weather this week with a UTI, but truly getting better each day. HOPING (fingers crossed) to be feeling some good energy in time for my 22nd Anniversary weekend!!
Prayers would be great!!
Love,

I am BACK and feeling better. Last week consisted of NO real workouts, but I was well enough by Thursday to go golfing and then enjoy a weekend away with the hubby! Fun times!!
Now I’m determinded to back to it– slowly and gently. Got in a 20 min bike ride so far today and plan to do my HT BOOK upper body boosting workout after a bit.
I’ll post more tomorrow, but just wanted to say thanks for all the well wishes

let go of my “athlete’s mind”
Transition…
I am in a TRANSITION time in my life right now.
It’s all for good, but here’s an example~
As an athlete I always thought workouts are a waste of time when they are not super intense or pushing the envelope. After all Challenge=Change right?? Yes, but just getting a workout done no matter how intense is challenging– it is mentally challenging even if not super physically challenging. Workouts like yoga, light lifting, walking, golfing, etc… all are GREAT for our bodies! They do cause change in us both mentally and physically!
After getting sick with a bad UTI a couple weeks ago…I dreaded getting back to my workouts. I knew I’d be killer sore and that I’d be weak and that I had “lost ground” THAT’s when it hit me! I didn’t need to KILL MYSELF with super intense exercise…I just needed to get back to it. Going through the motions with light weights would produce positive results! The truth is that every single workout is GOOD no matter how hard we push!
I have done just that, gently nudged my body back to working out this week. Listening to it and letting my weights be light simply for the fact pushing too hard at this point could cause me to get sick again. Being HEALTHY is the goal, my goal is to let go of my “athlete’s mind” and just let each workout be about health.
Yesterday, I did the boosting lower body workout from my HT book with light weights and feel very good about it!
Today, I may or may not do a workout– my goal for the next 10 days is to get in a true workout at least “every other day” and then be “active” on the days between.
TGIF!!

Just been hanging out with the family this weekend trying to live up the last few days of “summer”.
Here’s a recap of my last couple days–
Friday went golfing again, the 3rd time in a little over a week. Improved even more and actually really drove the ball on the 9th hole! for 150 yard nice and straight, fun feeling!!
Saturday, I ran outside, nice and easy for 14 mins– down my trail and back up. It was good to run again, but also glad I took it easy.
Yesterday, I did a 20 min bike followed by 20 mins lifting upper body and WOWIE, I am so sore!
Today, I’m just gonna rest.
For eats today I’ll grill burgers and probably eat some of the left over roasted chicken I made yesterday.
Enjoy the holiday ladies!!

Hey all!! hope you are off to a great start on this TueMonDay!
So…yesterday was a success. Had a good “rest” day, and ended up mowing the lawn.
My kids are all such sweethearts. 3 of them were “away” a bit over the 3 day weekend and each one was admittedly a bit “HOME SICK” when they were gone. Too cute! They just love being HOME with the family! I don’t blame them, we truly live in paradise! God is so good to us!
I have been still driving the kids around a lot, because we’ve cut back on Gunner’s driving. Gunner had an accident with Travis’ truck about 4 weeks ago, so we only have 1 good vehicle at the moment, which one of the big things that’s been going on in my life besides this stupid UTI issue. By the way, i THINK (knock on wood) the UTI effects are finally almost over. I’m getting more energy daily and my potty breaks are becoming less stressful. My fear of bladder pain and the recurrence of the infection is lessening, so I’m getting more confident about getting in some more runs and workouts this week. I’m still going to take it slow, no use rushing it– there is no rush!
The goal is to find a vehicle this week. It’s a hard decision on what to get because we live off a dirt road but also need something that will be decent in appearance for Travis’ job and make the 45 min commute daily. We can’t get get a car, but also don’t want a huge SUV or a “girl car”, LOL! PLUS, we don’t want to take out a loan because we’ve already got one on the HUMMER.
I’m sure we’ll find something but it’ll be interesting and take some work!

Hi Ya! I just noticed today there are 4 ladies with birthdays in the RR!! Happy birthday Jami, Kara, Ro and Staci!!abies are born in September? That’s due to NEW YEARS EVE celebrations, lol!!
Anyhow…Got the monthly visit from TOM today– so I am looking forward to the debloat that is coming, ha!!
I’ve been looking back at pictures today, trying to organize my computer a bit….fun to see how much my kids have grown!! And also, it made me yearn to lose a little of the fluff I’ve put on this summer. Time to get back into the 120’s…129 would be perfect I’ve got about 5 “real” pounds to lose and figure by Mid-October they can be gone!!
Didn’t get in a workout yesterday, instead had a bit of a date day with DH. I was STARVING and ate a big burger at Beef O’Brady’s…Cycle day 28 does that to me! It was worth it!
Anyhow, gonna hit the running trail now for a run then see do my COKE ab workout this evening. I’m gonna try to get my daughters to join in on it with me.
by BuffMother
I love to MOW! I did again yesterday– this time my running trail and the area where I run sprints.
So…not sure if you’ve visited my site www.Blog.buffmother.com but it’s a cool “HOT NEWS” type of site. Daily we post articles there that are fun, controversial, educational and sometimes CRAZY! Anyhow…as we go along with it I plan to make it more MY STYLE– here’s some of the theme ideas we are shooting to hit as we move along into the fall:
Features on FIT MOMS (famous or “in the news” ones)
Mother STAY AT HOME stuff…mothering stuff. “let me be your BuffMother”
More Fitness
More Recipes and cooking ideas
Religion– Christianity, Self Help, etc…
More SCIENCE articles on nutrition, obesity, supplements
Sarah Palin type politics- TRUMP supporter
Right wing conservative- Rush Limbaugh
SPORTS– I love football (VIKINGS) and UFC!
What do you think? any topics I should cover?
Had a good leg and bicep workout too. Kinda a weird combo for me, but I am not ready to have a full blown ALL LEGS day.
Here’s a bit of what I did–
Deads 95x10x3sets (final set was conventional from the floor)
Bicep hammer curls 20’sx10
DB shoulder press 20’sx10x3sets
Squats 95x20x3sets
barbell curls 45x10x3sets
Knee Extensions 90×20, 115×10+5vmo x3sets
I am killer sore already!!
TGIF!!

Now to catch you up on my past couple days– my last post was about Friday. Saturday turned out to be a fun day/night. I got in a really good run and then WHAM, I realized I was sick! I got the flu!!!~
…had a fever, a sore throat and then didn’t move out of bed on Sunday. Thankfully, I felt much better yesterday- I managed to also ride bike for 20 mins and now today seem to be doing ok but feeling it in my lungs! And now Travis is sick– not fun!
So, here’s my plan for the remainder of the week:
T- off rest day
W-lift legs
Th- chest/tri/abs
F-back/shoulders/biceps
Sa- hopefully a run– gotta let my lungs heal a bit before
I’m confident I’ll be feeling myself by next week and I plan a “NEW START” for then…Hope you are excited for fall like me!
Love,
Michelle

Today’s Diet Challenge
Today’s Diet Challenge: Eat Eggs
I am starting my own personal 6 week challenge on Monday. I have complete faith that I’ll stay healthy through it and I will emerge feeling more like myself!
The last 4 weeks of the 6 will be a 4 week contest for us here in the RR during that time– Oct 5th looks to be a good START date for that!
I like the 4 week contests because they are long enough to see results but short enough to keep people engaged! The workout program will be fun and good for pretty much all fitness levels~ I’m excited to get some ACTION back here in the Rally Room.
I plan to make a good PUSH to get more busy with my BuffMother business during the next 6 weeks too– People love getting fit in the FALL!! And so do I, it’s so much easier to workout when life is in routine and it’s not so HOT!!
I have some fun items to promote too– we’ll be launching a new app, we are going to be getting a workout program up on bodyspace and I’m going to be working with a video editor to put up more engaging videos on my YOU TUBE channel. Plus, I’ll keep being a spokes model for Gym Angel and Fitmark bags ambassador.
I’m really glad today is FRIDAY. This week has been so weird! The flu has been “lingering”, but I’ve been trying to ignore it the past couple days. I got in my leg workout on Wed. and yesterday opted to go for a run instead of doing a lifting workout since my neck has been stiff from the flu. I’m really sore all over from the sprints I threw in at the end of my run– sheesh! Running fast works!! Been trying to eat more protein to combat the soreness…here’s what I cooked for dinner last night. Our family ate all of it!
And here’s my leg workout from Wed– almost a “normal one” finally:
Today the plan is to get in an upperbody lifting workout…not sure though, DH and I have to go look at cars. He’s still without one– we are horrible at car shopping…The idea came up to day about LEASING a vehicle instead of buying. That’s an idea we’ll look into– not sure I can swollow a monthly payment for something I’ll never own?? I’m sure we’ll figure it out soon!
The other GREAT thing about today being FRIDAY is football!! My son is playing tonight in the Gravette HS game against Jay, OK. It’s kinda weird to play an out of state team, but really they are only about 35 mins away from us. I’m hoping he’ll play well….I think he’s had a little tish of the flu this week too. I certainly wouldn’t be up for playing footbal the way I’ve been feeling.
Anyhow, I’m off to car shop!
Talk to you tomorrow~
Michelle

The program is intense especially since I’m coming off being sick, hoping having the “PLAN” in place will help me be more determined to get it done no matter what. I’m going to print it off and put up on the wall in my workout room. That way I’ll have it top of mind at all times!
In addition to the workouts, my diet will be much more about eating to perform. I plan to strictly follow my 5-4-3-2-1 program and ignore the boosting scale numbers. I really need to fuel my body right now and with the workouts RECOVERY is vital!
I sure hope all of you had a nice weekend like we did. Gunner’s game went well, he played great when he was in…he’s just a 10th grader so most of the playing time goes to 11th and 12th graders. Anyhow, he had several tackles and his team had a come back win! It was a fun game to watch!! He’s got a JV game tonight in Jay, OK…so we’ll head there to watch. He’ll play the whole game for that team.
We also did some car shopping, on Friday we test drove a Range Rover– it was nice but, not the right fit. Now DH is looking at BMW’s. There are quite a few really nice used ones around.
As for my workouts this weekend, the only one I got done was an interval run on the treadmill yesterday (5x’s 2 or 3 hard mins @8mph with recovery at 6mph). It felt good, but I was EXHAUSTED the rest of the day from it!
Well, time for me to roll, I’ll write more after I get my workout done!
Let’s have a killer week!!

Let me bet your BuffMother |
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

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.

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
