I love September!

 OK, so the trees look nothing like this where I live, but there is still something so magical and beautiful in the air in the fall.  I don’t care if it’s still 100 degrees outside and I can’t walk from the front door to the car without breaking a sweat…it is September, therefore it is fall!

I have 16 more weigh-ins before my trip in December to see my mother and brothers.   I have lost about 5 pounds so far, have a lot to go, but at least I am finally moving in the right direction!  Sixteen weigh-ins sound like a lot, but it will fly by before I know it, so I need to dig in and get to work like I mean it. 

Yesterday was another crazy, hectic day, and skipping my workout was unbelievably tempting.  It would be totally justified with a mile-long to-do list and a chronic lack of sleep, eh?  I forced myself through 15 minutes of Turbo Jam because I couldn’t stand the idea of starting the month on a bad note.  At least now my workout log has some writing on it, which should be motivating to keep it going!

    Good job on the workout! I love September, too–even though where I am, it just gets very wet and gloomy! :-)

    Fall feels even more like a new start than New Year’s Day, for me. I just love it.

    I love September! It’s my birthday month, and my husband’s too. In fact they are only 2 days appart. And our daughter was born a week later, in early October. So, fall is my absolutely fav. time of year.

    Where I grew up leaves were just like that and we had long beautiful falls. I miss it here, where the seasons change far more abruptly and rapidly, but I am keeping fingers crossed we get an extended summer - we’ve gotten next to nothing this year during the calendar summer :)

    I wish you luck with each and every weigh-in!!!
