Meals For The Week

You guys probably think I have absolutely NO life since I post so much!! Well, okay, it is kinda true...haha. ;)

But really, the thing is, as a trainer, I train people either in the mornings or in the evenings, so I sometimes have hours during the day to do nothing. Well, not that I do nothing-I cook my meals, clean clean clean, walk my dog, workout, write out client programs, read the bible, and write and read blogs! :)

I thought I'd share what meals I have cooked for the week:

*Lean beef burgers(I eat these on a lettuce bun with ketchup!)
*Brown rice
*Marinated baked chicken(marinated with Stubb's chicken marinade-yum)
*Jamie Eason pumpkin protein bars

I'll probably cook up some ground turkey later in the week to mix with my brown rice and boil up some eggs just to have on hand.

Today was my first day of drinking whole milk-I'm starting with just one glass a day this week. And I found out that I actually really like whole milk!

  1. I love that you post all of your eats and meals! You just gave me the idea with the ground meat and rice. I will do that and add bell peppers and onion! What do you season it with (just pepper)?? If I could have a job doing all of the things like reading/writing blogs, cleaning, cooking, etc. I'd be 100% content!!! I guess I do have that job but just don't get paid :( hehe! P.s. - Love all the new blogs too!

  2. I usually season it with low sodium taco seasoning or homemade taco seasoning-chili,onion,garlic powder, cumin, paprika, and whatever else! Then I add salsa to it before I reheat it. It's yummy!
    And yes, wouldn't be amazing to get paid to do all that stuff?? It's basically my full time job(non paid), and then training is just my part time job!

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 ...
