No Excuses

There is no excuse for not exercising-NO excuse! It is the most important thing you can do for yourself and your health, and it needs to be a priority, not something you do every now and then when you can find “time.” I don’t care how many jobs you work or how many kids you have, you CAN make time to exercise.

I am tired of people telling me they can’t lose weight or that they have no time to exercise! Stop making excuses! You CAN lose weight if you really have the desire and put in the hard work to do it. The main reasons people don’t lose weight are because they aren’t consistent, they aren’t working hard enough, and they aren’t eating healthy.

You don’t need to spend hours and hours at the gym to get a good workout. You can get a great workout at home without any equipment at all. You just have to make the time to do it.

Get up a little earlier in the morning and do a 20 minute workout of squats, lunges, pushups, jumping jacks and crunches. While you’re watching TV in the evening, do a quick 10 minute cardio workout of jumping jacks, squat thrusts, side-to-side toe hops, squat jumps, jogging or walking in place, or anything that gets you moving! Splitting up your workouts into 2 or 3 10 minute increments a day is just as effective as exercising for 30 minutes all at once.

So instead of complaining that you can’t lose weight or don’t have time to workout, do something about it! It’s in your control! You may not get fast results, but keep at it, and you will eventually see the difference.

People always said That time would heal the pain But how can that be When mine still remains? The tears still fall At just the thought of you So I know that what they say Just can't be true As the years go by I miss you so much still  No matter how much time passes I know I always will How are you not here To ease my hurting heart? Never could I have imagined We would ever be apart My world has been shattered A piece of me is gone And all I can do is pray For strength to live on I know that one day soon I will see you again I just have to try to suffer through And make it until then

Putting My Heart Out There

Hey guys. Here's where we're at right now: Matt finished his radiation treatments last week. Did they help? I don't know. He's sleeping a lot more. Having trouble chewing and swallowing. Not eating much. Not talking much, at least not in full sentences. It's just been a slow, steady decline for the last few months. I think it was really too late for radiation....But who knows, maybe it is delaying things. We went in last Tuesday for his infusion and talked with his neuro-oncologist about everything that we've been seeing with Matt, and he decided that we're at the point now where we should discontinue treatments...I feel like it's the right decision, even though it breaks my heart knowing that there is nothing else we can do. But I feel like we've done everything. All the supplements, the diet, the chemo, the radiation... Matt has fought hard. He never gave up hope. He kept the faith. He never complained through any of this. Not once did I hea...

Why?

Why? Why do I care so much?  Why do I make sure they brush their teeth at night so that they don't get cavities? Why do I spend my own money to buy them clothes, toys and decorate their rooms, among other things?  Why do I do 5,000 loads of laundry a week to make sure they have clothes to wear to school? Why do I make sure they go to church on Sundays so that they'll be raised to know about Jesus? Why do I try to give them chores and responsibilities so that they will turn out to be decent human beings? Why do I read them a bedtime story at night, even when I'm exhausted? Why do I clean up after them constantly and cook for them and try to always have healthy snacks and food on hand? Why do I go to their sports games and practices, just to feel like the odd man out standing there awkwardly with their bio mom? Why do I give 100% of myself and make so many sacrifices for children I didn't birth? Only to be insulted and told hurtful things? To be made to feel like I'm ...
