Sore Legs & Pumpkin Donuts?!

It's Friday, oh yeah! :)

Today's supposed to be my CrossFit day, but because I am SUPER sore from my leg workout Wednesday, I don't know if it's gonna happen!  We'll see as the day goes on...

After taking a week off last week and then switching up my leg workout-WOW- I have not been this sore in my quads in a LONG time!! I love it. These legs are gonna GROW, I tell you!

This has definitely been my problem for the last couple days, ha!

Here's what I did:

1)Squat jumps: 8-7-6-5
2)Squats: 155x4/165x4/165x4/155x6
3)Barbell glute bridges: 135x8/155x8/165x8/165x8
4)Bulgarian split squats: 3 sets of 8 w/40lb DB held at chest(these suck!!)
5)Cable RDL(3x12) superset with Smith machine calf raises(4x20)
+1 set of leg curls x20 on the leg curl machine
6)Ab wheel rollouts
-Finished up with 5 minutes of jumping rope to burn out my calves-

So the past few days here in Kentucy have been beautiful! 70s and sunny. But.... it's not gonna last. This weekend is only supposed to get up to the mid-fifties! Really??? Gosh, I miss summer already! I'm not ready for these cooler temperatures all. But I am excited about Thanksgiving and Christmas coming up, woohoo! The best time of the year! :)

So this weekend's treat meal is up for debate. I've been wanting a pumpkin cheesecake mixer from Culver's....but....then my husband showed me this:
Krispy Kreme has a pumpkin donut!!!??? How in the world did I not know about this before?! Donuts+pumpkin=2 of my very favorite things combined! I definitely foresee this being in my future sometime very soon.  My mouth is watering just thinking about it!! :)
 
Have a great weekend everyone!!!

    Love the potty pic. I feel your pain. Worked legs on Tuesday and it still hurts to sit down there. :) Enjoy your donuts!

    Great workout! My legs always take a good three days to recover. So annoying! Happy weekend :)

      I hate that they take so long to recover, but love that they are sore, which I always equate to growing. ;) Hopefully they'll be better by tomorrow so I can get some conditioning in!

    I've never had pumpkin anything but I think that pumpkin donuts may just be the answer. I can just imagine how amazing they must be.

    Girl, if you can wait for the New Albany Harvest Homecoming donuts, DO IT. The line is horrendous (they fry them up right there), but the donuts are absolute perfection.

    Oh, your leg workout looks like a killer! :)

    Tough workout! Do you do the squat jumps first to get them warmed up? On the split squats have you ever used a barbell on your back? That is how i usually do those- and yes, they hard hard!
    Thanks for reminding me to do the glute bridges, I haven't done this in a long time!

      I usually do my power/explosive movements at the beginning of my workout. I've read that it helps with priming the CNS before your main strength movement, so yes, I guess it is a warmup for my squats! I usually switch up where I hold the weight for split squats-sometimes a barbell, sometimes a dumbbell at my chest, and sometimes holding dumbbells in each hand. I'm loving the glute bridges right now-I really hope they're making my booty grow! ;)

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 ...
