Quote of The Week

"Getting into shape isn’t something you, “do,” and when you scream to the world this is the year you will change your life, you will fail…. unless you understand getting into shape isn’t something that is done, but how you live.

Health is a journey, not a destination.

Resolution people fail, because they believe working out cancels out all the bad in their lives that led to getting out of shape.

You cannot out train a destructive lifestyle, and there is no known workout that can overcome too little sleep, too many beers, too much crap food and a lifestyle dedicated to a butt firmly planted to a couch 10-hours a day juggling electronic devices as your sole source of exercise.

Joining a gym, dropping by a few times a week, walking slowly on a treadmill, but changing nothing else in your life, is why most gyms should only be gyms during the first month of the year and then turn into bars for the next 11 months.

You join a gym with good intentions, but those intentions fade quickly if nothing else changes, and then you retreat to the destructive life you never really left.

If you want change, then change everything, because there is no change that matters in life without total commitment.

If you are in, then get naked,
stand on the cliff and dive for the very deep water.

Fitness isn’t wading in the shallow end, it is a lifestyle progression that day-by-day leads to a life of quality, fulfillment, energy and passion and can only be achieved by leaping off the cliff with no Plan B.

If you want to get in shape this year,
commit your soul, because you are worth it.

No one on this planet can get you in shape unless you are all in and ready to seek a healthier, and happier, lifestyle that goes along with true fitness.

Get naked and jump off the cliff people,
or don’t even bother to pretend this is your year for fit.

All in, or stay home, is the only way anything
worth doing is ever done and finished.

And it would be easier with a professional coach
holding your hand, but I have said that before.” 

-Thomas Plummer

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 ...
