i have no idea what I did because it was so long ago.

What do you do when you’re sick and can’t complete your items? I caught a respiratory infection while on vacation with somewhere with forest fires… so it’s likely to wipe out my health points completely by the time I recover, since I can’t do many of my items. :-(

I’ve been doing well on with my food journal! It really makes me think before I eat something.

Political meeting, but did my exercise before I left. New exercise rule starting tomorrow!

Whoo Hoo!
End of August!
Yay for September!
Go TEAM! \O/\o/\0/

The weekly csa brought a huge bounty of greens this week, so ate a bunch of romaine, kale, and butter lettuce today.

August was a complete success: I set modest rules and stuck to them almost invariably. Next month, I’m setting my sights a just a notch higher. Hello, September!

Another gorgeous day!! played in our play area and then did some tricycle practice. Gotta work those large muscle groups! More play inside, they are starting to get interested in ramps and marble runs, my favorite! Was pretty wiped out so slept 2 hours after school, ate dinner and stayed up late because I could! Coaching session tomorrow morning!

toddler had surgery Friday.

this pmdd will be the end of me. i swear.

Friday was lovely. Recovering from vacation, of course.

Had a BAD day yesterday.

I am finding even things that felt like they were almost a habit are easily derailed.

We have friends in town and we are really enjoying their company, but at the end of the day I am counting a lot of ways that I have slipped up while visiting.

Hopefully the things I am trying to focus on become more and more of a habit as time goes on and I am less likely to slip up with things like friends or family visiting.

Ending August on a high note. Had a great workout, cooked a healthy dinner and had 0 drinks on a Friday night!

Goodbye August. You were a tough month. Not very summery either.

Walked less than .5 mile with the dog because of the rain.

August is over! Hard to believe.

I hate holiday weekends. We get holiday pay for working on The Holiday, but the days leading up to The Holiday (because it doesn’t matter which one) are SUPER-CRAZY! Do we get extra pay for the holiday weekend? No.
I am working on Monday, which will look nice on my paycheck, but still … I am dreading the rest of my holiday weekend shifts …

It was a good day, since it was a weekday, and I worked the midday shift, which meant I could go grocery shopping and have a bus to take home instead of walking. (It’s only about four-ish blocks from work (which is a grocery store) to home, but according to my FitBit, home is about 19 floors uphill from work, so it usually takes me half an hour to walk it. NOT what I want to do with a half-gallon of milk or some frozen veggies, or whatever.)
Whenever I close, I have to walk home, since the one bus that goes between work and home stops running around 7pm. On weekends, it doesn’t run at all. And in the middle of the day, it goes from running once every half-hour to running once every hour … I also hate the public transportation system out here …

Anyway, I’ll stop complaining. I started reading Arctic Rising by Tobias S. Buckell, and it’s really good. I don’t normally read this sort of book (it was described as an “eco-thriller”, whatever that means), but I’m really enjoying it.
So, you know, go check it out …

Hard to believe August is over. Here’s to a healthy September, everyone!!

Did a lot of walking yesterday and started using Runkeeper to keep track of it.

Went to work and had a good day with the kids. Came home and was just lazy today. I spent time with the girls playing and that was just about it.

vitamins! Drat Wish I remembered them sooner.
Great fun with grandson.
Neighbor has a swing set & slide that was left at their rental property. No kids themselves but everyone may use.
My grandson figured out how to climb the ladder and slide. Wonderful fun!
He also had a nice long play bath. He used to tantrum when given a bath. Thanks to me he loves them now.
He goes into an empty tub and just plays in the water coming in at a little more than a trickle. He has plastic bowls and cups to pour the water. He will not sit down but plays as he stoops and lets me wash him. The water gets about 2 inches deep. That’s enough for his play and a nice washing.
After such a nice morning he went off to his mother.

August went fast. Probably because of the estate paperwork and stress. First day alone again since my brother got sick earlier this week, struggling to get my thoughts on track since it always feels like the weekend when he is around, and I forget to do ‘weekday’ things at times.

Last day of the month. I survived, go me. I failed to get my doctor’s appointment though; have to wait until Tuesday to schedule my annual physical.

12 hours of work + 1.5 of yoga. I absolutely need stop staying in the office in the evenings. Every day I eat at 5 pm thinking it’s the last meal, and then eat again at midnight, because I am hungry and very tired by then and there is all food around.

12 hours of work + 1 kickpower class + 1.5 intensive yoga.
