What I Ate Wed. + Other Stuff

The weather this week has been AWESOME!! It's nice to have near 80 degree weather after the chilly weekend we just had. It's supposed to be sunny and 80 the rest of the week-PERFECT. :)

Anyways, this week is the last week of my strength training program. I can't believe 6 weeks flew by so fast!Today I maxed out on back squats, and was able to get 205lbs!

I am pretty happy about that weight, since right before I started this program I went for a squat 1RM failed at 195. But my one rep max when I first started CrossFit was 205, so I would've hoped that after almost a year, my squat would have gone up. But that's okay. My goal is to get 210lbs soon, and I WILL!

So here's what I'm eating today for "What I Ate Wednesday":

Breakfast-The usual: peanut butter chocolate oats + coffee
Pre-workout snack-1/2 cup 2% cottage cheese, 1/2 banana
Post workout-Protein smoothie
Lunch-2 fried eggs/1 white, 1 turkey sausage patty, 2 slices Ezekiel bread with all natural fruit only strawberry preserves, coffee
Snack-2 Jamie Eason pumpkin protein bars
Dinner-homemade vegetable beef soup(stew beef, canned green beans, diced tomatoes, organic low sodium beef broth-cooked in crockpot)
Bedtime snack- 2 tablespoons peanut butter, all natural whey protein shake with almond milk

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

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
