My Supplements

Just thought I'd share what I do as far as supplementation, for those who may be interested!

I've never been big on supplements. It was actually only a few years ago that I even started adding whey protein to my diet, which I do think really helped in terms of bulding muscle because I wasn't getting near enough protein back then. But besides whey protein, I've never been one of those people who take a TON of supplements, and I have never taken any type of fat burner or anything of that sort.

Here's what supplements I currently use:

-Whey protein
-Creatine
-Fish oil
-Vitamin D
-Multi-vitamin

I just bought ZMA recently, but haven't began using it. I know a lot of bodybuilders/figure competitors have cabinets FULL of supplements that they take....And I've often wondered if I'm at the point now where taking some supplements would be beneficial for me as far as building muscle, or if it really wouldn't make that much of a difference. The way I see it, I'm not going to spend money on something that I don't know for sure is really going to work.

What do you guys think about supplements? Are there any that you think are necessary or that you have gotten good results from?

    I take exactly the same supps as you. I tried taking zinc and magnesium as well for a while, but didn't notice a difference whatsoever. Most of the stuff out there seems like a waste of money!

    How do you feel your creatine has helped you? And how long have you been on it? It is one I have tossed around a couple of years to take and have finally decided to start.

      I feel like creatine helps me to push harder and therefore get stronger, but who knows, it could be all in my head! I've been taking it for about a year now.

    I take extra B12 & iron because I'm low in that, and
    co-enzyme Q-10.

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 ...
