Friday Faves!

Happy Friday!! 

The weather has been amazing lately. I think Spring is finally here to stay! 
I've been loving being able to sit outside and read. 

I just finished this book and really liked it!

Last weekend I was able to do my sled drags outside for the first time this year! I just love doing my workouts outside in the fresh air and sunshine.

We also had our first ride in the Jeep with the top and doors off last weekend. This is what we've been waiting for!


My first mixer of the year!
 I had been craving one for a while, so it definitely hit the spot-every single bite was heaven. I always get chocolate ice cream with double reese cups and peanut butter sauce.  A million calories of awesomeness right here.


I've been enjoying a few new treats lately...
Like my bedtime protein sludge snack-I so look forward to this meal! All I do is mix a scoop of Micellar whey with peanut butter and cashew milk to make a pudding consistency and then put it in the fridge for a couple of hours. Sometimes I add sugar free pancake or chocolate syrup to it, too! It's awesome.


Another thing I just recently tried was using protein milk in my post workout cereal. I just make my protein shake and then pour it over my cereal and let it sit for a few minutes to get soggy-it was really good with Honeycomb!

I also tried these Red Velvet poptarts after leg day this week, and they were delicious!


And just to show that I DO eat foods besides cereal and poptarts, here was a yummy meal I enjoyed out on the deck the other day: 

Oh, and I had some articles posted this week on MuscleTech.com and a feature in a bodybuilding.com article, so I thought I'd share them with you all!



*Have a great weekend!*

  1. Wow! Your Flex Friday pic on IG is just WOW! I sure wish I had that lighting to get some pics with. What type of light is it? Can you tell? I fight to find good lighting because it's all fluorescent style where I would take any. :(

    That Concrete from Culver's looks just wonderful too - no matter the lighting! LOL

    1. Thanks! It just has one bulb overhead-that's always the best! Not sure what kind of bulb it is.
      Haha, yes! And it tasted even better than it looks!

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
