Gettin' Sweaty In My Garage

My training the last couple weeks has been a little all over the place. I wasn't able to get a workout in all this week with traveling and the photoshoot and everything(although I did do a bunch of kettlebell swings and battle ropes at the shoot-that counts, right?!).

Plus, last week I cut my carbs and calories down and took out creatine in preparation for the shoot, so my workouts were NOT very good! I'm really looking forward to getting back on track with my workout plan next week. Going to start working on deadlifts again(yay!!) and getting back into the lower rep strength workouts.

Yesterday and today I decided to get my sweat on in my garage because I just needed to MOVE! Especially after sitting on airplanes, it feels good to get those tight muscles moving. It is HOT and muggy here in KY, but there is something about working out in the heat with sweat dripping that just makes you feel amazing!

Just a lil' sweaty!
Most of the time I love actually getting ready and going to the gym, but it's nice to be able to get in a workout at home for the times when you just don't feel like going to the gym. Yesterday I did upper body: one arm presses, bentover dumbbell rows, pushups, seated dumbbell cleans, overhead extensions and bicep curls. All I have in my "garage gym" is a few sets of dumbbells, my jump rope and a couple of kettlebells, but that's all I need to get in a great workout!

**Hope everyone has a great Labor Day weekend!**

      Thank you!
      Yup, we've actually been spoiled this year with pretty nice weather and low humidity. But now it feels like a typical Kentucky 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 ...
