Friday Ramblings

Hi! Is everyone happy it's FRIDAY?? I am! :)

Yesterday was an absolutely gorgeous day here in Kentucky-60 degrees and sunny! Oh, how I miss the sun on my skin. I cannot wait for Spring to get here, I can hardly stand it!

So I went to Target and some other places the other day to shop for real(i.e. non-gym) clothes...and ended up with two workout tanks, of course! I mean who needs "real" clothes anyway?;-) Seriously, though, I feel absolutely lost in a clothing store and just have no sense of fashion whatsoever...so I always end up where I'm comfortable-fitness clothes! I need help.

And of course, the bathing suits were out!!  If I didn't care so much about spending money I'd buy every cute bikini I saw! Some women can't pass up a cute pair of shoes or a handbag...for me, it's bikinis!

Well, anyway, today's workout was upper body:

1a)Suspended pushups 5x8
1b)1 arm DB row: 5x8 w/55lbs

2a)Eccentric only handstand pushups(8 seconds lowering phase) : 1 set x 5/ then 3x3 eccentric only
2b)Modifed front lever hold: 4 sets of 10 seconds (These are much harder than they look, but I love doing them!)

3a)EZ bar curl: 3x8
3b)Ab wheel rollouts: 3x6 on toes to wall

This week's cheat meal is going to be PIZZA, for the 3rd week in a row! I'm ready for something different, but I think my husband would have pizza every weekend if it were his choice!

Have a great weekend!!!!

    Haha I am not the typical fitness person who doesn't know how to dress in normal clothes. I totally used to be though! Since I moved to Europe, I've started caring about fashion a lot more. I read Vogue every month and even follow a couple of fashion bloggers. The horror! haha

    I wish I could happily buy bathing suits though. That is a nightmare for me!

      I wish I were more fashionable...but it just seems to take so much effort and money and it just does not interest me whatsoever!

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 ...
