    We did get a chance to get away on Sunday, it was a nice drive and quiet, found some blackberry patches and chilled near the water for a bit.

    We are still going to try this month including temping and OPKs just so I have a couple month of information to understand my cycle better, then we are going to put it all that away for September-Early November and not force the issue. It'll give me time to focus on dropping a few more pounds and get fall work done, then when it starts snowing again it'll be game on! lol

    We don't plan to avoid fertile weeks in Sept-Nov intentionally, we are just planning to not plan our sex schedule around ovulation. It we hit it right, we hit it right, if not, oh well as long as we are enjoying each other. I think we'll be a lot more refreshed come fall that way, instead of burned out and tired of the process. It should make a long winter a lot more bearable with renewed energy and excitement for trying.

    Good plan Sheila!

    So this month...got away from me. Im back in the 190s and staying away from the scale for at least a few days. With vacation and friends weekend and....well...life? I've been way over indulging but back on track for 2 days! We will see where September starts!

    I'm back in town. The ladies' conference at the Jersey Shore wasn't much fun. Nice people, but terrible parking situation and stinky moldy damp room. I spent a good portion of every day driving in circles looking for parking and walking long distances to and from the car while lugging stuff. My mother can't walk very far due to bad knees, so I was driving her places a lot. The place we stayed was NOT handicap accessible. I didn't get much swimming in. Accidentally drained the car's battery on the best swim day and had to find someone to jump it. Had UTI the entire time. SO glad we left a day early. Back up 1.5 lbs. Hoping it was just salty food. At least I know I got plenty of exercise with all that walking, haha.

    @alioth that sounds pretty stressful overall, especially with the UTI. I'm sure the 1.5 lb is just water retention and it will fall away!

    Lizz, that sounds like a pretty terrible conference experience. Glad you're back home though! Any relief from the uti yet?

    @pezhed Yay! It really was water weight.
    @Kirstie155 I think the uti is finally gone! :relieved:

    SW: 170
    GW: 166
    CW: 166.2
    Goals: Work out 3x's a week. Get preggers. Scrape and paint the trim on the outside of the house.

    Heh. So the only goal I actually accomplished was the weight. Hooray!

    Since one of my goals for September is to be more active in the challenge thread I thought it'd be a good idea to come back and see how I did for August.

    • Work out 4 days a week for at least 30 minutes (Success)
    • Meet my step and calorie burn goals on my FitBit each day (Success sort of: it wasn't every day but just about)
    • Lose 3 pounds this month (Fail: August did end on the losing trend but I only lost a little over 1/2 a pound)
