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!!!

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

    1. 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!

  3. 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.

  4. 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! :)

    1. Oh goodness, I haven't even heard of that! When is it? I had some at Huber's over the weekend...but I am always willing to try more! ;)

  5. 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!

    1. 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! ;)

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

One Year...

One year ago today... the day it all changed. It was a Tuesday. I got the call from Matt around 3:00. I remember I was sitting at the computer at home. Matt told me that he was at the hospital, and that Bob Scott, his boss, had driven him there. Then he said those 4 words I never expected to hear: “The tumor came back.”  My heart stopped. Matt had gone in that morning for an MRI, as he has done numerous times in the past 10 years. He was now at the point where he had an MRI just yearly now, and that one was done in February, which showed that everything was fine. There was no sign of tumor growth, which had been the case for the last 10 years, praise God. But because Matt had been having some seizure activity for the last few months, they suggested he go in for another MRI in July. We then decided we should move up the appointment, because he had been having a headache every day for the past week. Good thing we did.... After I hung up with Matt,  I immediately broke down. I
