WIAW

It's been a while, so I thought I'd do another addition of "What I Ate Wednesday"!

Not too much has changed with my eating style. In the last few months I have increased my pre-workout meal(breakfast) from a 1/2 cup oats to 3/4 cup oats and a half a banana on training days. I also increased my post workout carbs from 30-40 grams to now somewhere around 60 grams. On rest days, I've upped carbs slightly and have been drinking milk as an easy way to get in extra calories, since it worked for me before!

I still usually eat every 3-4 hours, 4-6 meals per day(I'm old school), protein and carbs with every meal, and plenty of fats with my eggs, cheese, and peanut butter. Still loving my post workout treats, like cereal and soft serve ice cream. Still not meticulously tracking calories or macros. Still lacking in veggies, but I do get them in them, moreso on my rest days.
I cannot understand why there are still people out there who don't get how I can eat cereal and stay lean. I get comments like how "lucky" I am that I can eat that stuff...because I mean, you have to eat nothing but chicken, tilapia, and broccoli to get lean, right? Arrgghh, I just wish more people could realize that, look, you can eat that stuff too-just stay within your calorie goal, measure out your portions, and eat whatever the heck you want to eat(within reason of course...because health, duh). Like someone one Instagram said in response to how she eats sweet treats: "I put it in my mouth, chew it, and swallow it." Bahahaha! Perfect.

Breakfast
3/4 cup oats, 1 spoon of peanut butter, 1 scoop chocolate protein, 1/2 banana, coffee with cream

Post workout
2 cups Marshmallow Froot Loops with unsweetened almond milk, 1 scoop NitroTech whey protein

Lunch
2 eggs, 2-3 whites(I don't measure, just pour out of a carton), + mozzarella cheese(also don't measure), 6-ish oz  roasted potatoes with ketchup, coffee with cream

Snack
4ish oz marinated and grilled chicken breast, watermelon

Dinner
4ish oz lean ground turkey, 1 cup rice, 2 spoonfuls of salsa

Bedtime Snack
2 spoonfuls peanut butter, 1/2 cup cottage cheese, rice cake

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
