Gotta Eat MORE!

Hey! Happy Friday!  Hope everyone had a good week!

I had a great upper body workout today! I did pullups, handstand pushups, 1 arm rows, DB chest presses, bicep curls, tricep pressdowns, and then finished up with some handstand practice. Fun! I love my workouts. I seriously don't know what my life would be like without lifting! It just makes me feel so good and puts me in a great mood!

For those who are interested, here are the workouts I did this week: http://lindsaystraininglog.blogspot.com/2013/05/may-13-18.html

So...I'm going to make a few tweaks to my nutrition. I haven't been tracking what I eat because I really don't like doing it, but I did the other day just because I wanted to make sure I was eating enough....and turns out, I'm not! Soooo I'm going to be adding in MORE carbs(even at dinner, ohmigoshI'mgonnagetsofat)and increase my calories back up to 2400-2500. I have got to get over this fear of getting fat that I have and just freakin' EAT! It's so dumb.

So...tell me what your workout was today! I'd love to hear it! :)

    What software did you use to track your calories? I would love to know if I'm eating enough!

    Thanks,

      Nice workouts. I also did front squats this week. PR'd actually, 132 lbs (more than body weight) so I was pretty proud. Now if only I could do a pullup. I had two body weight goals this month, pullup and pistol squat, but so far I've only accomplished the lower-body goal (of course). It was reassuring to hear you read about how long it took you to do the muscle-up, actually. Based on your handstands, you seem to have excellent bodyweight control, but it's nice to know it can be learned.

      By the way, there are other options out there, like caloriecount.com, but I think myfitnesspal has a bigger database? I like caloriecount because of the way it analyzes data and breaks down macros and micros.

      Nice job on your front squats! Yes, it just takes practice and patience-you'll get the pullup! I did those darn muscle ups from a box over and over and over again until I finally got it one day!

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...
