Happy Hump Day ya'll!
I'm currently obsessing over Garden Tomato & Basil rice cakes and Sun Dried Tomato Mozzarella Laughing Cow Cheese as a snack. Seriously thee most flavorful snack! ...And bonus -- low cal, carbs, and fat. Can't beat that!

On a more serious note...
Blake has been battling a painful shoulder for about a year. He's been to the doctor multiple times, had an MRI, etc. We were told, no surgery would be needed, and he took a month off from the gym like he was told. It started to feel 'much' better and he went back to the gym only to feel the irritation begin again. He has put some muscle back on that shoulder, but it's still bothering him. He has been doing physical therapy the last few weeks to work on whatever is going on only to be told by the PT that she was pretty sure he has a labral tear.
He went to the Dr. on this last Monday whom told him he's very sure it is a labral tear. He has another MRI this Thursday to confirm and then we will go from there. This MRI is the one where they inject some dye into his shoulder...it's over my head (knock on wood, I've never had to do this)!
So we both have been stressed out & a little scared what this could mean for the (near & far) future. I don't EVER say this so you know it's pretty serious...but if you're creating a 'prayer' list, I would please ask that you put Blake on it. He's come a long ways since we started dating when he first started getting into bodybuilding. It's a level him & I connect strongly on! So it would really bum me out if I was going to the gym by myself for many weeks/months to come. (This isn't about me, I know. But it's a full circle of what will be affected.) He's great at lifting, and he works extremely hard--to say the least, he pushes me to constantly strive to work harder and be better, because I love this bodybuilding life, too. It's tough to watch someone so passionate go down for something that isn't 'fair.' Here's to a heck of a lot of well wishes, positive reinforcements, and lots of deep breaths!
