Random Things

Sooo I sprained my ankle. I was jumping rope like I always do to warm up Saturday and just landed a weird way and twisted my ankle-how stupid is that? Luckily, it wasn't a bad sprain, but it did swell up.
It kind of sucks mostly because this is my one rep max week! I decided to go ahead and try upper body yesterday. I just wrapped my ankle and it felt fine, so I was able to pretty much do my full upper body workout. I got PRs on both push presses and bench, sprained ankle and all! PRs make me happy!!! I got 135 on push press, which I failed at the last time I did this program. Then I did an easy rep of 140 for bench. 
 
I'm not sure if I should squat tomorrow or not. The swelling is almost gone, but I'll just wait and see how I feel tomorrow.
 
Anyways, Saturday my husband and I decided to give frozen yogurt a try for the first time. I have seen so many pictures on Instagram that look so yummy...but we were a little disappointed. Mine was pretty good with all the toppings I added, but my husband hated his. We are just ice cream people-nothing can compare. I think people who love frozen yogurt have forgotten what ice cream tastes like. ;) So we'll be sticking with Cold Stone Creamery from now on! 

Asher and me spent a day in the sun most of Sunday. I loooove summertime! Nothing better. Pretty soon we'll have to put our pool up! I can't wait. I am loving this weather!

Of course, Sunday was also food prep day. I start every Sunday morning cooking up our food for the week, or at least the first few days. I did the usual ground taco seasoned turkey, marinated and grilled chicken, basmati rice and roasted potatoes. I also cooked up some brown rice pasta which I'll have for lunch or dinner with ground turkey and pasta sauce(yes, store bought-don't judge). Ya just gotta have pasta every now and then...and those zuchinni noodles or whatever don't count!
Annnd a random bathroom selfie because why not? I don't care about having a 6 pack, but every now and then I just have to make sure there is still a little definition there! Good to know I can maintain this eating plenty of carbs and not doing cardio!
Today is a beautiful sunny day, ruined only by the fact that I have to go to the dentist!!!!! I seriously don't know if there is anything I hate more. I'm dreading it! :(

  2. You are so strong, fit and inspiring! I totally agree about froyo. I think people who have unhealthy relationships with food fool themselves into thinking it's healthier. Sure, the yogurt might be healthy but once you add a million and one toppings, I would much rather have ice cream!

    1. Thanks so much Tara! I agree. I was always like, why froyo? It's really not all that much healthier just because it's low fat/no fat, esp. with the toppings ! But thank goodness the toppings made up for it. ;)

  3. I have yet to try any of the frozen yogurt places. I've been telling myself to try one these last couple years, but at the end I have no strong desire - especially when coffee chip ice cream is sooo plentiful!
    Been meaning to ask though, how fast do you go through all the food you cook over the weekend? Do you cook 2x a week or store in freezer? Thanks!

    1. I usually cook up more turkey and chicken on Wednesday to get us through the rest of the week.

  4. Sprained ankles are no laughing matter, even when it happened in jumping rope exercises. Such injuries are quite common. If the swelling is gone, you could perhaps resume normal physical activity, but if you still have it up to now, you better see a specialist. In the mean time, you could always focus on other exercise routines that doesn't tax your ankle much. Take care!

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
