Oct 2

Ok, one month down.

I have been feeling better and better. Which is pretty great! 

Yesterday was a pretty heartbreaking day. We went to a funeral for a friend who was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in May. It was too fast. It was sad. 

I got out on a long much needed walk earlier today. The first leg was 1.3 miles of speed walking. (I was late) I met up with a friend and we continued our walk for an hour. Around the neighborhood. We had a great talk. 

He's huge...

This week has been emotional. Both really good and really bad.

Got to the gym Saturday, did a great workout. 

Sunday, walked around greenfield village for a few hours, counting that as my exercise.

Monday I took a break, my back was hurting pretty bad. I made an awesome beet salad!

And that break made it really hard to do anything today... It was chilly and drizzly. Blah.  ZOG and I hung out inside, but did plenty of rolling around and running in circles.

I took 3 15-20 minute walks yesterday, not ideal, but I got out.

We are just about finished with our building plans!  We were assured that we would be consulted on

a lot of the little things before they were done by the builders, so that feels good.  Here we go!


Heading to the gym shortly for my Saturday workout.

Went to the gym for my evening workout last night.  I sleep great after these sessions, maybe I'll start doing more nighttime workouts?

Sept 25

Last week was really hard!  I basically took a week off, and I felt it.  No good.  Gotta keep plugging away.

This week is going better so far.
Got to the gym on Monday morning, and will go again tonight.
Tuesday was busy, I didn't get my walk in, but we took out a loan!  That got my heart rate up!

Wednesday, I took a walk over to Roos Roast again, it's such a nice walk through the neighborhood.  I don't like walking, but Z sure enjoys it.


Today I initiated an outing!!  Z and I met up with GrAnnie for lunch and some playtime at the library.  It's a beautiful day!

I'm really grateful for these 2 people. Who apparently didn't believe me when I said I was taking a picture.  I can't wait to be neighbors with these awesome folks.  We went out and celebrated land loans and building loans (or something) last night. It was delicious.

Also, I have been almost facebook free (I let myself get on for a little bit on Sunday) for 2 weeks now.  It's nice, I have finally stopped auto-stalking, for the most part.  When I try to go there on my computer this is what I get.  I'm glad I set this up.

Sept 21st

Zachary's sleep schedule has been all over the place this week, this has really made everything harder for me to manage.  My brain needs regularity.  This was a hard week, but I learned that even though I might be feeling better, I really REALLY need to keep on track, and continue with my exercise and movement.  This is a long term process... Blah

Zachary has been so great at playing by himself for little spurts at a time.  This allows me to get 3 small things done per day :-P

Hat Selfie

He's in a box!

This is what it looks like when he plays by himself for 30 minutes...

 I knit an entire hat in about 3 days.  This is good for me :)  It's even a whole patterned hat and stuff.

Chillin' on the stairs...

I got to the gym once this week. I walked quite a bit, pushing a stoller.  He really likes the stroller, and falls asleep as soon as you lower the back down, otherwise ZOG just takes in the sights.

I've been thinking a lot about this time last year.  It was all just so squishy... sigh.

I'll post sooner this time!

Love, Katy

Daily posts are hard!

This daily thing is HARD!  I don't wanna! Wah...

Anyway, this past week was good and busy.

I made it to the gym all of the times I said I would, but I am having a harder time with the daily exercise thing.  I know I just need to take a walk, or get on the bike, but it's hard!

I think I have at least gotten out of the house every day though.

Cool, hoodie, kind of days

Our appraisal finally came through, and looks like we will actually be able to figure out how to build a house.  Phewf...

So met with the builder this weekend and made some good headway on setting up a schedule for our build!

feeling good! going to build a house! (and huge coffees)

We went to a baseball game on Sunday, which was great for Ross and I to get away for 6(!) hours child free.  I have no idea how people take their babies to games, ZOG would have been so unhappy!  He would have wanted to run around the whole time, and would have hated sitting that whole time.

Great Seats!  6th row on the first base line. And the Tigers won! :)

Made it to the gym again this morning, followed by a lovely coffee and breakfast date.  Might be going to get a yurt later today!  Hooray for the land!

Love, Katy

p.s. going to meet a new therapist today, will update.
