A Workout and Other Ramblings :)

I'm so glad it's Friday! 

My birthday is next week, and we're celebrating this weekend....so I'm calling it my birthday weekend! :) All I want for my birthday is to watch a movie (since my husband hates going to the movies), go out to dinner, and then ride around and look at Christmas lights. So....that's the plan! Oh-and a cookie cake, as usual. :) Can't wait!

I had a fun upper body workout today:

 1)Handstand pushups: 4x6

2)Neutral grip pullups: 
(Rest pause-30 rep goal, 30 second rest)
10-5-4-4-3-4

3)As many sets in 12 minutes:

1 arm DB row: 45lbs x6 (should've went heavier!)
DB chest press: 40lbs x6
 = 8 sets
Then finished up with some bicep curls and abs. 

I've been doing a lot of rest pause sets lately just because it's fun and something different! Wednesday I got 195lbs on barbell glute bridges-I'm pretty sure it was my tall socks and this awesome tank my in-law's got for me:

Yup, I have the best in-laws ever! :)

I've been crafty lately and made some Christmas ornaments from ideas I found on Pinterest. They're so pretty, I love them! Also made one of the photo ones for my mom as a Christmas present. :)

What are your weekend plans? Have you done any fun or different workouts lately?

    Love the socks! I've been doing kettlebell swings, which are something new for me. My goal is to get 75 straight!

      Thanks Krystal! Although it's funny because I feel pale right now compared to my summer tan! :)

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 ...
