WIAW/Nutrition Update

Nothing new here! I pretty much still eat the same as I have been for a while....

8:00 Meal 1(pre workout):
1/2 cup oats, 1/2 banana, 1 spoonful of peanut butter, 1 scoop MuscleTech platinum whey protein, coffee with half &half


11:30 Meal 2(post workout)
Platinum Iso-whey protein with almond milk and pineapple angel food cake with whipped cream

1:30 Meal 3
2 eggs, 2 egg whites scrambled with mushrooms and sprinkled with mozzarella cheese, 5-ish oz crockpot red potatoes


4:30 Meal 4
3 oz chicken on a small salad of  romaine lettuce with lite Italian dressing, small Fuji apple

7:30 Meal 5
1 cup rice mixed with 4 oz ground turkey(mix of 93/99%) and 2 spoonfuls of salsa

10:30 Meal 6
1/2 cup cottage cheese, 2 spoonfuls peanut butter, one rice cake


Most workouts days are pretty similar to this, I just change up my post workout meals, or maybe have a pumpkin muffin instead of an apple for my afternoon snack. 
On Friday and Saturday I have a fruit smoothie post workout. Friday I have a cheeseburger for dinner instead of turkey and rice, and then I usually have a spoonful of cookie butter or peanut butter on a rice cake after dinner and skip the bedtime snack. 
Rest days are pretty similar as well, just no post workout meal and slightly higher fats. I have not tracked calories or macros in a LONG time and don't intend to. For me, tracking is something I would do ONLY if I was struggling to maintain my weight(as in LOSING weight), OR if I wanted to lean out a bit. Neither of those is an issue right now, so I choose not to track. 
Based off of Instagram, I sometimes I feel like I'm the only one who doesn't track macros! I guess it's the "in" thing right now. Yes, I do still roughly weigh and measure some things, but there's no need for me to be obsessive about it. I know I eat enough because my weight is holding steady, and I'm good with that.
I get variety, I get to eat foods I love, I have no restrictions, no numbers to worry about, ...and that makes me happy. :)

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...
