As I sit here today with a cold and a half (yes I feel horrible so I believe it is more than just a "cold") I am telling myself it is time to get serious....mainly about working out.
I have been working out since Kat was born. I get in good spurts then stop and then get motivated again then something happens and I miss a few days and well you know how it goes.
I won't kid myself, I miss my pre baby body! I was finally to where I wanted to be as far as weight and being in shape and healthy and then WHAM I got pregnant! And it is much harder to lose after having that baby!
I just finished ready a great book by Alison Sweeney called "The Mommy Diet". I loved it and it helped motivate me. I wish it would have been written when I was first pregnant as there was some great stuff in there about during your pregnancy but that's life. If anyone wants to read it you can borrow my copy! Or better yet buy one because you may not want to give it back!
So enough excuses as I am hoping to kick this cold in the butt very soon and put on my "big girl pants" and get it done! Maybe I will try and blog as much as I can as to how much I am working out etc.
I do miss going to the gym which is what Koran and I did before we had Kathryn. I also worked out at home but now with her working out at home is pretty much my only option. I think I just miss going somewhere different to workout and the weight machines!
So here is to a fresh start and to start walking. Who is going to do it with me. Get up! Let's go!!!!!

Random thoughts
Haven't been on here much. My intent was to write something every day...yeah you can see how good I am at that. Well life gets busy and by the time my 2 year old is actually finally asleep for the night I am exhausted! And want to spend a few quiet minutes with my hubby!
Our youngest son, Konnor, turns 17 next week. Crazy to think he will be a Senior next year. I still remember when I first met him. He was 4 years old and quite the little stinker. Teasing me with pretend snakes in the hottub and all the things boys like to do. Took a little getting use to but now I wouldn't trade it for the world.
Kat, every day, is turning into a little lady. She continues to keep talking more and figuring out new (and sometimes unusual) games for us to play. Her newest love seems to be Lego's and any time the wind is not whipping us away and it is warm enough she is outside. Yes, for sure like her mom in that area! I love the outdoors...and can't wait until we are spending a majority of our time there!
Been thinking of a lot of things lately. Life since having a daughter and how life has changed in the 13 years I have been with Koran. WOW! We have been through a lot of stuff. From losing jobs, to new jobs, to a new house, to losing loved ones, to dealing with kid issues (doesn't get easier when they are adults...in fact may be harder) you can't make them do what you want! :)
I know in everything that goes on God has a plan. And why sacrifices are made for me to stay home with Kathryn instead of work..(yes I don't go shoe shopping and buy clothes for me much anymore)..I know God opened the door for it all to happen.
I sometimes stop and remember life before Kathryn. While work sucked at times in some ways it was much easier. No one to consider but Koran and I if we wanted to do something or go somewhere and we got to sleep all night long if we wanted. Kat still thinks we should be visiting each other on a nightly basis at least one time. I tell myself in 15 years when she sleeps through the night and doesn't want our attention as much I will long for these days. Just have to keep telling myself that sometimes. And with all the frustrations I feel sometimes I wouldn't trade that little redhead for anything. And other than she sleeps like her dad, well she is a great, well mannered, well behaved child and I love her.
No matter how old your children are it is never easy. Every age and step brings new challenges, joys and expectations. Remember God is in control is the key (and sometimes hard part).
The other thing that has been bothering me lately is how friends who you thought were one of your best friends just kind of disappear. Oh life got busy...um yeah...mine is to and I still make time. I guess for every season there is a friendship. Some are meant to come and go and some are meant to be for a short time. I am not losing sleep over it (I lose enough getting up with Kat). I just thank God for the friends that are always there for us and you know what screw the rest.
As I have said before be true to yourself because in the end only you know who you really are and God is the one who will judge you. Not the people you thought were your friends, your children or your family. So I guess I speak my mind and know in my heart I try to do what is right. Not perfect....I am for sure a work in progress.
On a postive note here is a couple pictures of Kat in my Mom's garden today. Obviously not much growing yet, but she enjoyed digging around!
