Have Your Cake And Eat It Too!

In the winter, I can do without ice cream-it's not something that I crave at all. But in the summer, I am all about it! It's just so refreshing and yummy! This is what I enjoyed over the weekend:
Some of you may be confused as to why I post a lot of pictures of the "bad" foods that I eat in a "fitness" blog. Well, I actually do that for a reason. Most fitness bloggers post pictures of all the healthy foods they eat...so you can get that elsewhere.

I am not one of those fitness people who act like they eat perfect ALL the time. Like I would NEVER have a slice of pizza, or EVER let a donut touch my lips, oh NO. Maybe some of them really do eat perfect, but honestly, it's kind of annoying to me.

What I want others to see from my blog is that just because you strive to eat healthy does NOT mean that you can't EVER enjoy a treat! I think that a lot of times people don't want to make a change to start eating healthier because they think of all the foods that they will have to give up. But you don't have to give them up! I don't believe that you should deny yourself of the foods you love-just don't eat them on a regular basis!

As a former McDonalds/Skittles/Doritos/Snickers addict, I just have to have a treat every now and then! That's why I allow myself either a treat meal on the weekend or one or two smaller treats throughout the week. I try to eat as healthy as I can on a daily basis, so that when I DO want to have a treat, it is OKAY, and it's not going to negatively affect the way I look. Because it's the way you eat on a daily basis that really matters. So I say you can have your cake, and eat it, too!!

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 ...
