At Home Leg & Booty Workout

✴Happy Monday!✴

 Today I have a leg and glute focused workout that you can do with just a set of dumbbells and a stability ball. I did this Saturday in place of my light leg day at the gym. It was just too beautiful to be inside, and I love having the option to workout at home when I want to.
  • Single leg squat to bench: 20lbs x3x12 each leg(Make sure to lower down slow and controlled-don't just plop down onto the chair. Also make sure that the knee stays tracking over the middle of your food.)
  • Superset: dumbbell front squat: 25s x3x15(Rest the dumbbells on your shoulders, and make sure to keep your chest and elbows up but ribs down.)
  • Stability ball leg curls: 6 on each leg, then 8-10 reps with both legs, 3 sets(The main thing on these is to keep those hips up and try to squeeze the butt!)
  • Split stance RDL: 25s x3x12 each leg(On these you want to make sure you aren't reaching forward with the weights, but reaching those hips back. You should feel a good hamstring stretch in that front leg. Keep your lats tight by pretending to squeeze in orange with your armpits.)
  • Single leg foot elevated glute bridge: 3 sets of  10 single leg + 12 double leg (Make sure you are not arching through the lower back on these-keep your ribs down and try to tuck your pelvis under at the top, push through the heel, and squeeze that butt. Mind in the muscle is key here!)
  • Band walks: 3x12/side
  • Sled drags: 10 x 20ish seconds w/30-45 second rest
*If you don't have a tire or access to a sled you could do jumping lunges, kettlebell swings, or treadmill/deadmill sprints for 20 seconds of work, 40 seconds recovery for 10 rounds.*

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 ...
