Workout Plan and Frozen PB Protein Cups

Last night I made some of my yummy protein "Reese cups". These are sooo good and perfect for a summer treat!

I use 1 scoop chocolate peanut butter flavored protein(Syntha-6), 1 big spoonful of peanut butter, 1 tbsp cocoa, and 4 oz water-just blend and freeze for about an hour. Super easy!

So here is my current training plan:

Monday:
Upper body+5-10 minute finisher
Tuesday:
OFF
Wednedsay:
O-lift +Lower body+finisher
Thursday:
OFF or sprints
Friday:
Upper body
Saturday:
O-lift+Lower body+finisher

My reps are usually between 5 and 10, and I like using the reverse pyramid technique(heaviest sets first, then decreasing weight and increasing reps on each set). Or sometimes I do a few heavy sets(4-6 reps) and then one light set after that for higher reps.

I'm still not using my workout log, but I am trying to stick to somewhat of a plan in my head, just not obsessing over following it exactly! Just going by how I feel and what I feel like doing that day!

I'm still wanting to add in a day of CrossFit....just not sure how to work that in. I'm all about letting my body get enough recovery and not killing myself every day of the week with crazy workouts or multiple workouts a day. I don't believe that more is always better. Oh well, I'll figure it out!

      You're welcome! I hope they're just as good using another brand of protein. Syntha-6 is not 100% whey protein, so of course it has a great taste!

    those look amazing! a perfect night time snack!!!
    i love your mentality about rest! It seriously is just as important as pushing yourself because that is when you grow! I usually do one full rest day a week but I am thinking about putting in a second and seeing how it goes!
    Thanks for being an inspiration!! :)

      Thanks! I've had 3 rest days for the past 6 months with great results! Now I'm going to cut it down to 2 just to lean out a tiny bit more for summer ;)

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 ...
