3 weeks :)

Only about 3 more weeks until Florida!!! I sure hope the weather will be nice when we're there. I can't wait to be laying on the beach soaking up the sun! Speaking of the sun, after a weekend filled with lots and LOTS of rain, today is sunny and beautiful! :) I love it.

Sooo anyway....I've been doing pretty good the last few days with getting my veggie servings in!! I've been getting 2-3 servings a day, which is a lot for me! I still need to work on getting in more leafy, cruciferous veggies, but at least I'm getting in something! I've been having sweet potatoes, tomatoes, romaine lettuce, baby carrots and broccoli. The thing is, since I've cut back on my grains, I actually want vegetables more now and they don't taste as bad as they used to! I guess it's just my body wanting those carbs that I'm no longer getting from the grains...?

I've also been doing good with getting in my 120 grams of protein each day, and I started taking fish oil supplements about a month ago. I've also been taking creatine for the past couple of months, and I think have gotten some gains from it. I've definitely been pretty strong in the gym lately. Squatted 185 the other day for 5 reps! Today I did 110 lbs on the bench press for 4 reps.

I only have a few more weeks to lean out a little more! I've never really tried this before, so I'm not sure if I'm eating the way I should be...I feel like I am....But I know that I'll need to cut out all grains eventually, and that's gonna be hard for me!! I just love my whole wheat toast in the morning!!! But I can do it for a week or two I think! We'll see.....

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...
