Currently....

Eating...
These banana bread English muffins! One of my favorite post workout snacks is an English muffin with cinnamon cream cheese and and banana slices.
And these waffles! I finally used up all my pumpkin ones and bought a box of these the other day-I had forgotten how much I love this flavor! They're SO good. Definitely will be adding them to my lunches more often.


Reading...
I just finished The Storyteller by Jodi Picoult and LOVED it. Now I'm reading Girl On The Train by Paula Hawkins, and I'm really enjoying it. With being cooped up in the house because of the stupid weather, having a good book to read is crucial! Have you read any good books lately?

Listening to:
I am loving the song "Shoulders" by for King & Country!


Thinking about...
My poor baby having to have knee surgery! We noticed him limping and took him to the vet for xrays, and they think he tore his ACL. :/ Has anyone went through this surgery with their dog? I just want him to be better and not in pain! They did give him some anti-inflammatory and glucosamine, so he is doing much better now.


Wishing...
The stupid snow would just disappear. It was pretty for the first few days, but I'm over it. The beach is calling my name!!! Sand and sun and palm trees and waves crashing....sigh. And guess what's in the forecast for tomorrow? You guessed it-MORE SNOW! :/ At least February is over, which means we are one month closer to summer!

Smiling about...
Getting to see Celeste the other day! I hadn't seen her since Christmas, so I met up with my sister at my mom's house. She is getting so big, and is still THE cutest thing ever! She can say a bunch of words now and has the funniest little personality. She makes me laugh!

    Hey Lindsay, my husband who is a vet, says for you to make sure you have a TPLO on your dog. Also, have it done by a surgeon. That's what he does, so that's his bias. We are not near you or else I would send you to him :). Hope all goes well! I enjoy your posts!

      Yes, we have a consult Monday at the animal hospital, and we have read about the TPLO surgery. Thanks so much!

    I've been reading your blog for years and love it. It is very motivating for me and you convinced me to start lifting heavier. I also love the book recommendations. I just finished reading The Twentieth Wife by Indu Sundaresan and Mean Streak by Sandra Brown.... both were great!

    Lindsay, our 80-pound dog tore her CCL in 2011, and we decided to go the conservative management route (no surgery) because the healing time and recovery procedure is just the same and we didn't want the risks of the surgery. It was a long year with many steps forward and back, but she has been doing awesome since 2012! I highly recommend researching your options and if you have the time and ability to rehab him yourself, definitely consider it since you'd have to do it anyway after the surgery.

      Thanks, I'll take that into consideration!

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 ...
