I ♥ Weekend Treats :)

Welp, good ol' Monday is here again! Don't the weekends go by way too fast??
 
My weekend consisted of the pretty much the usual....popcorn and movie night Friday, workout Saturday morning, cheat meal, and church-that bascially sums it up! It was a little chilly here in KY, but the sun was shining, which makes ALL the difference! Spring is right around the corner, I just have to keep telling myself that!
 
I am warning you, the "treat" I had for the week will make your mouth water...you may want to look away!
Um, yes...in case you are wondering, those are cookies and kreme donuts made with Oreos from Krispy Kreme! My favorite one was the cream filled. We may just have to make a repeat visit this weekend, I'm just sayin'. ;)
 
I'm excited for today's upper body strength workout. It's the last week of month 2 of my training program, and I get to test my 4 RMs! It should be interesting since I just "started", and I'm always a little weaker during this time of the month. But we shall see...Of course, I'm sure there will be vids posted later in the week if all goes well. Or even if not! I'm not afraid to share my "fails" with you guys! ;)
 
How did everyone's weekend go? Did you have any yummy treats?

  2. Lindsay, do you place any limits on your cheat meals? I like the idea of it but find that once I start I can't stop. Do you have any tips?

    1. I make sure to make my cheat meals only ONE meal and just to eat until I'm comfortably stuffed. Putting a time limit on it is a good thing to do so that it doesn't extend into the whole day! There have been many times where I've overdone it, and it just does not feel good so I try not to do that! It is hard to find the balance. If you really have a hard time with it, I would recommend maybe not having an all out cheat meal, but maybe just allowing yourself a small treat or two during the week, or just a bigger portion of a healthy meal. :) Hope this helps!

  3. I tried a Lara Bar for the first time and loved it!! I had the pecan pie bar, but I've heard the carrot cake is a must!

    1. Ooh-Lara bars are so yummy! My favorite is the apple bie and banana bread. You should also try the Kind bars-they are delicious! :)

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 ...
