Burpee Results

Well, I did my 7 minutes of torture burpees today!
Results=91! Not super impressive, but it was just for fun so who cares! It was a test of my endurance, which I will admit is NOT my strong point!
NOT.

Then I just goofed off and played around with handstands. I've been practicing a 1 armed handstand without a wall, and finally got a decent pic of one:

I'm happy the weekend is here! I'm excited for my cheat meal and to try out the tire sled and slammer ball that my husband is making for me!  Hope everyone has a good weekend! :)

    I just completed my 7 mins of burpees too....drum roll....55!!! OMG, I seriously thought I was going to spew... twice. I cant believe you did 91, wow!. The funny thing is you were doing handstands after ( which by the way I am totally in awe of), whilst I was passed out on the ground...hehehe. Great challenge though... whats next!?.

    I try to avoid...ummm, I do other things rather than Burpees...but I did try this interesting sounding challenge with them once. I thought it would be a motivating but not too hard burst of them. You start with 12 then you ladder down - 11, 10, 9, etc. until you get to zero. You don't really stop between, maybe a breath here and there. Deceptively easy sounding because after all you're only really doing a few high count sets...until you add everything up. 72 of them I think?

    The reason I don't do Burpees is that my lower back tightens up or something so that it hurts while I'm doing them and it doesn't feel like a 'good' muscle hurt. Is that something that's common or form related?

      I haven't done a burpee in I can't tell you how long! And don't foresee myself doing one in the near future lol. And yes, the back pain it could be form related. I don't think it should cause back pain.

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 ...
