Oh, My Sore Booty!

It has been so rainy and nasty these last few days...ugghhh. Makes me so tired and lazy, and that is not cool! It's not really that cold, though.  I'm thankful for that, at least! :)

So Friday I went iceskating with my best friend and her little girl. Ice skating is something that I've done all my life, since I was about 10 years old. It's so much fun! One of the few things I like about winter time.

Anyways.... after taking about 5 days off from the gym last week, I started my second cycle of the Wendler 5-3-1 program yesterday. I decided to train legs, and boy am I feeling it today!  My butt and quads are SOOOOO sore I can barely move, but I love it. Grow, booty, grow!

Here's what my workout consisted of: I started with power snatches, then squats working up to a set of 6 with 160 lbs, and then 5 sets of  walking lunges with 25lbs weights supersetted with weighted back extensions. I finished off with kettlebell swings, as many reps as I could get in 2 minutes.

I am so excited for Thanksgiving this week! I can't wait to eat some good food and spend time with my crazy family. :)

Remember to train intense and eat super clean this week so that you can indulge in some of your favorite foods or desserts(or both, in my case!). Holidays are to enjoy by eating good, homecooked food and spending time with family, but it does NOT mean you can completely fall off of your diet plan. Have a plate of your favorite foods and then get RIGHT BACK to your clean eating the next meal or next day or whatever. Don't feel guilty, just move on.

Well, I'll be posting a blog soon about what training goals I have for 2012, as well as a video of my training accomplishments this year!

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...

Why?

Why? Why do I care so much?  Why do I make sure they brush their teeth at night so that they don't get cavities? Why do I spend my own money to buy them clothes, toys and decorate their rooms, among other things?  Why do I do 5,000 loads of laundry a week to make sure they have clothes to wear to school? Why do I make sure they go to church on Sundays so that they'll be raised to know about Jesus? Why do I try to give them chores and responsibilities so that they will turn out to be decent human beings? Why do I read them a bedtime story at night, even when I'm exhausted? Why do I clean up after them constantly and cook for them and try to always have healthy snacks and food on hand? Why do I go to their sports games and practices, just to feel like the odd man out standing there awkwardly with their bio mom? Why do I give 100% of myself and make so many sacrifices for children I didn't birth? Only to be insulted and told hurtful things? To be made to feel like I'm ...
