Hello, Fall!

I adore the fall. Brilliantly colored leaves, cool air, the smell of fireplaces, the crackling of a camp fire (soon), sweaters, snuggling under a blanket in the evening with my husband…I love all of it.

Here in the south, it doesn’t feel a whole lot different than yesterday: warm, muggy, humid. We get the hassle of having to rake leaves but very little of the gorgeous red, yellow, and orange colors. But fall is still my favorite season.

Cooler temperatures are around the corner, which means finally being able to sit on the back deck with a candle lit; eating dinner outside with my husband; lighting a fire in the fireplace and being lulled into peace by the flickering and crackling flames; and finally breaking out my favorite comfortable sweaters and sweatshirts!

I am also looking forward to taking my tablet onto the deck and working out in the great outdoors, with squirrels and rabbits and birds cheering me on…or just wondering what the hell I am doing, making all that racket.

Happy first day of fall!

August Recap

Can you believe August is over already?  Hello, September!

It’s still hot and humid here, so it doesn’t feel anything like autumn yet.  I miss living up north, when this is the time of year that the seasons start to transition and feel like fall, instead of a perpetual, sweaty summer.

Let’s take a look at how I did in August!

August starting weight: 212.4
August ending weight: 204.6
Loss: 7.8 pounds

Okay, not bad.  And much better than July, when I had an overall gain!  Let’s see what I can accomplish in September.
