Where did yesterday go? I had a crazy busy one, and then a relaxing social evening, so the computer was never even opened. I hopefully will be heading back home today, so I should be able to get back to normal and be posting here more often! I am a bit behind with everything - my own exercise, nagging you all for weigh-ins and getting all the new members on board and onto the spreadsheet. I'll catch up soon!

In the meantime, here are the weigh-ins due up through today. It's Friday today, right???

It is exciting to have new members for September, and I'm sure there will be some great energy helping inspire anyone who is getting a bit bogged down, or who has wild and crazy work or life challenges that make sticking with all the best laid plans difficult.

The September sugar challenge is optional for anyone who would like to join in - Teresa will be keeping that rolling and helping everyone who joins here there. For those of us who prefer to allow some amount of sugar in our lives (all within reason, of course!), there will still be the weekly challenges to give you an extra boost. As usual, the first week of the month will be a commitment and accountability challenge where you get to choose which specific things you'd like to track and hold yourself to. That will be up Sunday when we get the new month rolling.

Have a great Friday, all! Please send that cooler weather fast, ok @ashleycarole86 ? We really, really need the relief.

Yo Ho Team!

I am safely back home in Canada and all is well. My sister is doing some good healing so far after a pretty major shoulder repair, and I got back home early enough today to spend a couple of hours catching up with the vegetable garden. I think I picked at least 12 pounds of tomatoes, some serious zucchini bombs (they were so tiny when I left only a few days ago!!), lots of gorgeous Asian eggplants, a couple of bright red peppers (sweet ones - the really large long pointy red beauties), oodles of spinach, lettuces enough to feed everyone I know a giant salad, and some kale and chard will be ready for attention tomorrow. My preserving work is cut out for me!

The funniest part of going across the border and back was picking up mail at our post office box in Derby Line, Vermont. We have always kept a box there to make mailing from the US quicker, easier, and less expensive for all our family members and for buying things that are easier to ship there. We have not been able to pick up mail since March 2020! There was all kinds of stuff, much of which stayed in the post office recycling - election advertising, old catalogues, defunct magazines, and even a few Christmas cards. Oh - and some tractor parts that arrived last December. They'll finally get used this winter! I'm sure we won't be crossing the border as often as we used to, since we have to have a recent covid test to get back into Canada, but at least it is now possible.

So let's wrap up this month! I know it seems weird to start September on August 29th, but it's close enough for F2F, right? Here are the remaining weigh-ins due by end of play tomorrow:

Have a great weekend!

Happy Saturday!
I am looking forward to doing a decent workout today after a week of chaos and no workouts. The weather is nice and cool so it will actually take some work to get a good sweat on! I hope everyone has a great day, or has already done so if you are in one of those time zones

Saturday weigh-ins? Are you hiding in the closet?

No - it is doing what it is built to do! You just have to adjust the inputs... I know it is hard, but that is the way it is! You can do this - I know you can
