Ice Skating Fun & Progress Pics

 A bunch of my family got together over the weekend to go ice skating and look at the lights downtown. My family is a little crazy, so it's always a fun time no matter what we do!
 
 
Sunday was church, lunch at Qdoba, and then a lazy rest of the day. Laying on the couch watching football by the Christmas tree with my little family is my favorite. I told my husband I wish we could just do that every day! :)
 
So I took some pics the other day just because I was feeling lean and haven't taken any bathroom posing pics in a while! ;)  Figured I should document my leanness, because as soon as I start seeing abs and more veins popping out...I know it's time to start eating more!
People don't seem to quite understand why I don't want to be super lean, since that is what everyone seems to be striving for. I just don't like the way I look any really lean. Well, okay, I do like the abs that come with it...but I'd sacrifice seeing my abs to have a "thicker" look with a little more body fat! I just wanna be swole! ;)
 
 I don't know if it's just in my head or what, but when I went back to my upper/lower split and added in some finishers at the end of my workout, I swear I got leaner in just a  week without even trying. So it's either cut back on those or just eat more....I like the intense workouts, so I'll probably just eat more!

      Well, thanks Tara! But it is definitely not perfect!You can't see my lower legs in these pics and I know how to cleverly hide my love handles! It's just an illusion. ;)

    Hey Lindsay! I follow your blog pretty regularly. You're workout regime sounds very similar to mine with the lower/upper split. I add in 3 days of crossfit training at a local crossfit gym, but Tues., Thur. and Sunday are dedicated to strength training. I'm trying to put on more size as well...my husband, who is also very into training and health tells me constantly that I need to continue to eat more. I know everyone is different but I would love if you could give me an average day of eating for you. Thanks!

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

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
