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:

MONDAY WEIGH-IN
Just for fun (or not:grumble: ) I decided for a week to weigh every day. Wow was that scale (or was it me?) all over the place! I got to see just how up and down my weight does go! I have been close to 138 this week and have been over 142! Makes me a little less upset about only being down just .4 of a pound from last week. Today I am at 140.4 More and more I am convinced that pounds are NOT the best indicator of success.

Wow GoldK :flowerforyou: A run?! You are getting ambitious!! Way to go. Just a little bit at a time and you will be off and running!
Thanks! Out of the 5 miles I might have run 3/4 of a mile :laugh: Funny thing... I am hurting today. I don't think I am cut out for this running stuff. I can swim a mile but I can't run a mile. I never could even when I was young and healthy. I was feeling a little ambitious, the weather was perfect and I started back on my asthma medicine... :laugh: :laugh: I will keep to the elliptical, walking and swimming for now.
