Ramblinnnggg....

I thought it's been a while since I've done a rambling, "I don't really have anything to say" post....and I'm bored, so here goes. :)

I have been loving my workouts lately! I am doing almost all compound exercises on an upper/lower split. I'm not really doing much conditioning since I'm still trying to put on a couple of pounds. I usually jump rope or do some kettlebell swings after a workout for 5-10 minutes once a week, and then I run sprints for about 15 minutes once a week. That's it.

I'm SO glad I don't have to do tons and tons of cardio to stay lean. Having a clean diet and lifting heavy takes care of that! When I decide I want to lean out a little more to get my abs to show, I'll start doing some longer conditioning workouts-but NO traditional cardio for me, as long as I can avoid it!! Talk about BORing. 

I really miss CrossFit. I love what I'm doing right now, and I feel like I'm growing...but I'd really like to add in one day of CrossFit just for fun. It'd be interesting to see what my conditioning is like now! I think I'm going to take a week off from my workout program in a few weeks and just do CrossFit workouts.

So anyways......I had the yummiest treat over the weekend-deep dish chocolate chip cookies with reese cup chunks and peanut butter m&ms! Oh my goodness, they were SO GOOD. I had some pizza, too. :)

Well, I am officially ready for Spring! We had some really nice days last week in the 60s, and it was sooo nice. It's right around the corner! I have almost made it through the winter! I am dieing to go on a beach trip...so maybe, hopefully...that can happen in the near future(fingers crossed!!).

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
