Protein oats(1 scoop protein, 1 tbsp peanut butter, 1/2 cup oats) & coffee w/cream
11:30
Post workout: 1 scoop Anabolic Halo + 2 slices pumpkin spice bread with Laughing Cow cream cheese(yummmmmmmm!)
1:00
Roasted red potatoes, scrambled eggs (2 whole, 2 white) with mozzarella cheese, 1 turkey sausage patty
-Another cup of coffee w/ cream-
4:00

7:30
4 oz lean turkey burger w/ketchup, 1 cup rice
10:00
1/2 cup cottage cheese
2 tbsp peanut butter


Today was leg day, my favorite day of the week! :) I had an off day last week with my low back being still sore from deadlifts, but this week I was back on my game and feeling strong! Worked up to a heavy set with 175 on squats, which is the heaviest I've gone in quite a while.

Then after squats and deadlifts I decided to do a booty challenge I got from Tara at Sweat Like A Pig. The challenge is to do as many hip thrusts as possible in 90 seconds with 135lbs. I am always up for a challenge and thought this one would be a fun one to try!  I was able to get 30 reps, and my glutes were on FIRE!

Here was what the rest of my workout looked like today:

1)Seated calf raises: 6x10 (trying to get these things to grow by doing them 1st in my workout)
2)Back squats: 135x6/155x5/165x5/175x3
3)Front squats: 115x6/95x10
4)High step ups: 20x3x8
5)Barbell hip thrusts: one warmup set, then 135x30
6)Back extensions: rest pause set x40
7)Cable abductions: 2x12
8)Reverse crunches: x15/12/10/10

  2. I love that you actually tried the hip thrusts! I don't think anyone can comment on how easy/difficult it is until they try it. My training partner is crazy strong so I loved the look on her face when I told her she had 60 seconds to go!!

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 ...
