No Excuses

There is no excuse for not exercising-NO excuse! It is the most important thing you can do for yourself and your health, and it needs to be a priority, not something you do every now and then when you can find “time.” I don’t care how many jobs you work or how many kids you have, you CAN make time to exercise.

I am tired of people telling me they can’t lose weight or that they have no time to exercise! Stop making excuses! You CAN lose weight if you really have the desire and put in the hard work to do it. The main reasons people don’t lose weight are because they aren’t consistent, they aren’t working hard enough, and they aren’t eating healthy.

You don’t need to spend hours and hours at the gym to get a good workout. You can get a great workout at home without any equipment at all. You just have to make the time to do it.

Get up a little earlier in the morning and do a 20 minute workout of squats, lunges, pushups, jumping jacks and crunches. While you’re watching TV in the evening, do a quick 10 minute cardio workout of jumping jacks, squat thrusts, side-to-side toe hops, squat jumps, jogging or walking in place, or anything that gets you moving! Splitting up your workouts into 2 or 3 10 minute increments a day is just as effective as exercising for 30 minutes all at once.

So instead of complaining that you can’t lose weight or don’t have time to workout, do something about it! It’s in your control! You may not get fast results, but keep at it, and you will eventually see the difference.

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...

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 brok...
