    So here it is - September :noway: I did a lot of damage this spring\summer (+8lbs). I really get out of my routine in the summer - parties, cookouts, eating out, finding time for the Y, no willpower, oh.... I could go on :laugh: . I will be working on those 8lbs now (and then some). I look forward to getting back to my "daughter is back in school" routine on September 8th. I also stopped doing my own grocery shopping... wow did that make a big difference. So I know what I need to do this month and I plan on getting to work. :drinker:

    Thanks for all your support :flowerforyou:

    Did you stay within your nutritional goals? Most likely not. (Husband's birthday party)
    Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? Got to the elliptical but I did have some of the great mushroom stuffed Brie with crackers that I made for his party along with tomatoes with pesto, mozzarella, and basil, rib eye roast, red potatoes, Mojito, wine and a bit of cheese cake. I would say that we don't do this everyday, but the month of Sept. is full of celebrations! DANGEROUS :noway:
    What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? Threw a great party, had fun and didn't have seconds, except for the brie. :grumble:
    What would I have done differently? More water during the eating festival!
    What is today's personal goals? Stay under calories , weight training and get some stuff done around here!

    :drinker: :drinker: HUGE DAY today. My husband wanted to go for a walk this morning!!! I have to make a BIG deal of it here because I have to act very casual about it with him! Yahoo!! Who knows, maybe tomorrow again!? I know that it is the up-coming pheasant season that is motivating him, but he is also drinking less beer. Funny how all the changes that are good for him are good for us! :drinker: :drinker:

    Did you stay within your nutritional goals? Yeppers
