Friday Ramblings :)

HAPPY FRIDAY!
 
It is coooooold here in Kentucky, and I am NOT feeling it! It is too early for this-I want summer back! Boy, I'm in for a loooong winter....
 
Well,  last weekend my brother and sister came over for dinner. Celeste is 3 months old now, and she really does get cuter every time I see her! She is going to be so spoiled.  I can't wait for her to be older so I can take her all kinds of places-we're gonna have so much fun! :)
 
 
We painted pumpkins, and here are the cute ones I did:
 
Well, anyways.... nothing is really new with me lately. Training is going well. Not setting any PRs or anything, just focused on training hard and just having fun, not stressing about what I'm doing with training OR nutrition. After so long, there comes a point in your training where it's not constant PRs all the time or huge physical changes either, and that's where I'm at right now. Pretty much just maintaining but still eating slightly over maintanence level for calories in hopes to continue slowly building muscle. I really think I'm going to be 80 years old and still be like, "I need more muscle!" Haha.
 
I'm trying not to obsess over my looks as much...but I did take progress pics the other day just because it had been so long since I've taken full body ones. No  huge changes, but I also wasn't displeased with what I saw, either. :)  I'm thinking about changing my workouts up a little to maybe a little more bodybuilder-ish style..??  Maybe for just a couple months doing bodypart splits and higher reps...It's always great to grow and evolve and try new things, but I think we always want to go back to our "roots"! For me, that is bodybuilding.
 
Today was my upper body day, and it was a fun one!
1)Hang power snatch: sets of 4 with 80lbs
2)Bench press: 95x5/105x5/115x5/115x5/95x10
3a)Handstand pushups 2x5/ Overhead DB press: 2x6/(last set drop set) 
3b)1 arm rows: 60x8/60x8/55x10
4a)TRX "W" pulls: 3x12
4b)DB lateral raises: 3x12
Finished with 5->1->5 of ring pushups and bar chinups
 
Well, I guess that's all for now! Have a great weekend!

    I'm with you Lindsay... I'm soooo not ready for fall and winter. I want to move somewhere it's warm all year round. I'm in PA, so we have really humid summers and BRUTAL winters. Oh, and I hate the shorter days, too!

      Oh, I would not be able to live anywhere more north than Kentucky! My husband is from upstate New York, so he just thinks I'm a big wimp! And I am when it comes to being cold-I hate it!!!!

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 ...
