What I Ate & Workout Wednesday

Just because I haven't done this in a while!
 
What I Ate:
8:00
Meal 1: Protein oats (1 scoop protein, 1/2 cup oats, 1 tbsp peanut butter) + coffee with cream

11:30 -PWO-
Meal 2: 1 1/2 cups Apple Jacks with almond milk, 1 scoop whey protein
NitroTech vanilla whey + 1 tbsp. butterscotch pudding is amazing!
1:00
Meal 3: 5 oz roasted red potatoes, 2 eggs + 2 whites, 2% cheese
One of my absolute favorite meals!
Meal 4:
1 can tuna with a tsp of mayo, Fuji apple

Meal 5:
4 oz Italian seasoned ground turkey with pasta sauce, 1 protein oat flour chocolate chip banana muffin
Yummy!!
Meal 6:
2 tbsp peanut butter, 1/2 cup  2% cottage cheese

Workout:
LEG DAY!
 
1)Overhead squats-just with light weight for warmup & mobility 2x6
2)Trap bar deadlift (cluster sets): 5x5@150lbs, 20 second rest between sets, then 2 minute rest and repeat
3)Bulgarian split squat: 3x10 with 20lbs each hand
4)Barbell hip thrusts: 3x8 w/135lbs
5a)Standing calf raise machine: 3x10/1x15
5b)Reverse straight leg crunch on bench: 3x10
6)Back extensions: one giant set to 40 reps

So happy to be doing deadlifts again, they feel great! I've really missed them while trying to get my hamstring to heal up! Those cluster sets are super tough-definitely get your heart rate up with the short rest. But it's a fun way to get more reps in a short amount of time. Not setting any records in the gym right now but still training hard! And still workin on building the booty!

Here's another thing I'm working towards: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUsHT7PIjzw

    I love cluster sets! And trap bar deads :D

    If you can do front levers, you're seriously impressive! My bodyweight training sucks so I need to spend more time on it after my comp!

      No, right now I definitely can't do the front lever, only the modified version! It is SO hard, but I'm hoping at some point in my life I will get it!

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...
