Eat Your Veggies


I am so proud of myself! For the longest time, it has been my goal to try to eat more vegetables. It was really hard for me at first because I really don't like many vegetables. So I would choke down broccoli a few times a week or maybe have a sweet potato every now and then, but now I've been consistently getting 3-4 veggies a DAY! That's coming from someone who ate veggies maybe once or twice a WEEK.

I have found that it's a lot easier than I thought, and I'm actually starting to like vegetables! I never though that would happen! I've been having a romaine lettuce salad every evening with my dinner, then I'll also have some steamed broccoli or cauliflower with that. I usually have a tomato or 1/2 a tomato every day and also baby carrots. I have a sweet potato probably twice a week. I'm so glad to finally be eating more veggies-I just feel so healthy eating them!

I think what really helped was cutting back on the grains, because I had to have something to replace them with, otherwise I would be so hungry all the time! So I have my Ezekiel bread usually in the morning, then either Kashi cereal, oats or a whole wheat tortilla for my post workout meal, then it's just protein and veggies the rest of the day.

I know that I need to work on getting more of a variety with vegetables, but for now, I am satisfied with just getting any!

Most people need to be eating more vegetables. I have so many clients who tell me they don't eat any fruits or veggies!! If you aren't eating produce at all, then I'm sure you are eating WAY too many processed foods and grains. If I can eat veggies, anyone can!

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...

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

One Year...

One year ago today... the day it all changed. It was a Tuesday. I got the call from Matt around 3:00. I remember I was sitting at the computer at home. Matt told me that he was at the hospital, and that Bob Scott, his boss, had driven him there. Then he said those 4 words I never expected to hear: “The tumor came back.”  My heart stopped. Matt had gone in that morning for an MRI, as he has done numerous times in the past 10 years. He was now at the point where he had an MRI just yearly now, and that one was done in February, which showed that everything was fine. There was no sign of tumor growth, which had been the case for the last 10 years, praise God. But because Matt had been having some seizure activity for the last few months, they suggested he go in for another MRI in July. We then decided we should move up the appointment, because he had been having a headache every day for the past week. Good thing we did.... After I hung up with Matt,  I immediately brok...
