Weekend Recap & Workouts

Happy Tuesday!

We had a great 3 day weekend!

Went to Chick-Fil-A for dinner Saturday and then had ice cream for dessert. Because it's summertime, after all.
Then Celeste came and spent the night Saturday and stayed with me all day Sunday. We had lots of fun! I just love her.
Monday I trained some clients and worked out in the morning and then floated in the pool for the first time this year! Finally! It was such a beautiful day, so we took a cruise in the Jeep, grilled out a yummy dinner, and took Asher for a walk.

We grilled chicken that I marinated in sugar free barbecue sauce, along with grilled red potatoes tossed in olive oil and seasonings, a side salad, and watermelon. So good!

I thought I would share what my workouts have been looking like lately. I did change things up a bit this week from what I had planned, but here's what I did:

Monday
Home workout- shoulders and back focus

Wednesday Quads
I was able to go a little heavier on squats and split squats, but dang, doing sets of 10 on squats is basically cardio! By rep 7 I cannot breathe. I was pretty sore after this one, which has been the norm the last few weeks.

Bulgarian split squat- 4x12
Squat- 4x10
Leg press-3x10/2x12
Walking lunges holding weights in hands- 2x15
Reverse single leg deficit lunges-2x12

*Calf raises and abs


Friday
Push focused workout(chest/shoulders/triceps+rear delts)

Saturday-Hamstrings
My back has been acting up, so I skipped deadlifts this week and changed this workout up a bit on the fly. I actually really had fun doing the prowler pushes! I had lots of energy...probably from not having to do high rep deadlifts. Those just take everything out of me!

Glute ham raise(w/weight) 4x10
Barbell RDL 4x12
Reverse hypers 4x15
Ball leg curl-4 x single leg x6/+double leg x6-8
Prowler push-8 x12ish seconds

I got a massage today, and I'm going to the chiropractor Thursday.  I'm hoping I can get this back straightened out and get back to my heavy lifting soon! I got my powerlifting coach to write me out a a new workout plan, so I'm really excited to start it and get STRONG again. :)

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 ...
