    No kidding! Can't believe it's September already.

    My goals: 10 Green days (start small).
    15 workouts
    I want to try to run again too! I think.im going good to have to slowly get used to just walking again though. My followup is next week.

    I'll keep your follow up in my prayers.

    This is the month the steps actually start counting, but they don't have the fitbit devices handed out to everyone yet. And my friend Amy forgot to put hers on today. OOPS! (It's not a big deal for her, she's running a 10k tomorrow. Her average steps will be fine.)

    Hey ladies! This year has gone by quickly. I love September though so it's all good. @bbinoa I hope your followup goes well, and I hope you'll be running soon. I'm lowering my Green goal for this month. I'm adopting your model. Also, thanks for the condolences. @MelissaPhippsFeagins I know you'll kick butt in the step challenge. You have me inspired. I reckon you do have to actually remember to wear the watch. Ha!

    9/1 - green 1/25
    No gym - Scout leaders meeting ate my night.
    12k steps

    Between work and leader meeting, I volunteered at my church's free medical clinic. We only saw 7 patients today. This may be the last week of low numbers before cold & flu season.

    Well, I have NOT been doing very well this month!! :# I decided this morning to hop on the scale only to see I've gained 5 lbs! I'm sure some is just water weight from eating whatever-the-heck I felt like, but I know some isn't. So, back I go hi-ho, hi-ho, it's calorie counting I go!

    Hope you all had a wonderful long weekend. Mine was very relaxing and filled with food (LOL!!!!)

    @bbinoa I totally understand. I had to reduce my calories, and it makes me sad. Ha, ha, ha. I'm hoping most of this weight will fall within the next 4 - 6 months. We can do it!!

    Nope and nope.

    2/10, 2/15 green and workouts.

    Its a rough month so far! Lots of stress, lots of work. I had applied for another job at my company and things were looking really good but the person who had the position previously decided she wanted it back. :( I just can't seem to figure out how to manage the stress lately. My coping skills are shot. On the plus side I had my followup for my foot and it's doing well. I'm doing better than average according to my dr. He said it will take another 4-6 months to fully heal where I forget I had surgery.

    Sorry about your stress @bbinoa. I do hope you figure out a way to manage it quickly. You definitely don't want to make yourself sick. Congrats on the healing foot though! I need to read some good news.
