My Prayer

"Empty me
Of the selfishness inside
Every vain ambition 
And the poison of my pride
And any foolish thing my heart holds to
Lord empty me of me
So I can be
Filled with you"

    Hi Lindsay,

    I have a question and didn't know where else to post it. I have a question about increasing muscle mass. I was just told that basically after your first year of lifting heavy, it becomes hard to put on any muscle mass unless you incorporate cut/bulk cycles. What are your thoughts on and experiences with cut/bulk cycles? Do you believe that they are a necessary ingredient in strength training, or does it depend on your personal goals? Thank you!

    BTW, love this quote! :)

      I've never really been into the cutting/bulking thing...but that is just me. I don't really believe that women should "bulk", as in gain a lot of fat while trying to gain muscle.
      I do believe, however, that in order to build muscle that you DO need to take in slightly more calories than you burn and get a gram of protein per pound of bodyweight.
      So you may not be able to stay super lean while trying to gain muscle, but it shouldn't be an excuse to gain 20lbs of fat or eat whatever you want.
      So basically, I do think you should go through phases where you eat a little more in order to gain muscle, then decrease calories a bit when trying to lean out, because it's very hard trying to do both at the same time.
      Hope that made sense and answered your question!

    I really like that song- it reminds me of all things ungodly to just get rid of. Another song that recently stood out to me is "Lose My Soul" by Toby Mac.

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...
