Another Lovely Day

Once again, today God has blessed us with wonderful, warm weather! I am going to enjoy it as much as I can!

Had to get up early today to train a client at 7 a.m., so I'm kinda sleepy. But I somehow managed to muster up enough energy for my leg workout. It was pretty good, but no heavy squats today.

Started off with leg press, working up to 340 lbs on my last set for 7-8(?) reps, then did some front squats with a light weight, back squats with 135lbs, walking lunges with 25 lb dumbbells(those freakin' kill me!!), then some stiff leg deadlifts with 80lbs, and finished off with leg curl/leg extension superset.

 I really dread training legs and sometimes it's hard to get motivated, but after I get into my workout, it feels soooo good! I love training hard and giving it everything I've got!

My husband is at his follow up appointment right for his leg and arm... I'm hoping maybe he will be able to get his arm out of the sling and possibly start doing some weight bearing on his leg. He is SO ready to be able to move around more and get back to work and, especially, the gym!

Well, I'm going to take Asher out to run on this beautiful day, maybe try to read outside for a little while, then it's back to work to whip some more people into shape!

    Good job on the leg workout Lindsay! I can't wait to get back into the gym. I love working out at home but there's nothing like a squat rack to really bring out the definition!

    Glad you got outside, it's been beautiful here too so I did the same today : ) I'm glad you're hubby is seeing a light at the end of the tunnel. My husband woudl be crazy by now if he had to sit still so I can only imagine what you're going through.

    Thanks!
    I love that squat rack...but hate it at the same time!
    Yes, my husband is getting stir crazy! But the doctor told him he can start putting weight on his leg now...so he can hobble around a little!

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 ...
