  2. Do you add the protein powder in the beginning of cooking your oats or add it at the end? I feel like I fail miserably every time I try to do that, but that sounds like a fantastic and filling combo. I am always looking for better breakfast ideas :) Reading about your heavy lifts has really encouraged me to start (slowly) lifting heavier and to get out of my comfort zone at the gym, in terms of the lifts I do. -Michelle

    Ps....I love that you frequently include Bible verses.... they are often times exactly what I need to read!

    1. I cook the oats with water, then add the pb and then protein and slowly add in more water to get the consistency I want. I never get tired of it! I'm glad to hear that you're getting into lifting! Keep it up!
      And thank you!

  3. I agree with Meg - I love seeing your eats! I find it really valuable as I’m trying to step away from calorie counting (it’s making me more neurotic, and I actually think it is making me eat more? ‘I’ve eaten X so I can eat a bit more/ maybe that isn’t enough’).

    1. Yes, I couldn't do the tracking thing, although it did help me to make sure that I was taking in enough for a while, which is crucial when wanting to gain muscle. But it was just not for me for the long term. Definitely have to find what works for you!

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
