Have you met your goal for this last period?
With fall right around the corner, do you have any special plans for fall?
As we start a new month, do you have any plans for August.
Talk about anything that you like & check in as often as you can this weekend.

I did not do very well with my goal of exercise this round. I probably did more moving, but not much dedicated exercise. Mostly doing things outside which weren't really active.
No special plans for August or fall, just taking care of my garden and processing the vegetables I get. I'm hoping to make salsa from my tomatoes and freeze it and freeze some other vegetables. Later in the fall I'll put my garden to bed and do some yard work.
This weekend I'm going to mow my yard and start when it is still cool in the mornings.

Goal - did OK. Life got in the way a bit (that happens!), so...chose same goal again. Local vegetables are starting to be more varied now, so that should help. I got a couple of different cucumber varieties at the farmer's market last week. Saw these new ready to eat Tuna products at the grocery store last week chickenofthesea.com/products/infusions/I tried the Lemon & Thyme and the Black Pepper. They were good...a nice change for me from mainly chicken. Fall - haven't started to think a lot about fall yet. I do like the lower humidity and cooler temps, but always a bit sad when it's time to clear out the gardens and things like that. August - Local baseball league season runs through the middle of August, when that's done, it is a sign the summer is winding down. Mainly, same things as have been doing the past two months, gardening, getting outside when weather cooperates. Going to a volunteer visit this afternoon with the dogs. Some locations are starting to open to some activities - precautions in place, of course. |

I have done pretty well with my challenge. I have naturally been moving more, with getting outside & taking care of plants, etc. Does seem like things are getting away from me now, with the heat, I don't take care of the weeding, etc. like I did back in the spring. I have also been weighing myself more often.
I love fall, we have a couple of little trips planned for the fall, one to the mountains in East TN to see the foliage & the kids have given us 3 nights down In Bioxi,MS. They have treated us to a very nice hotel on the Gulf of Mexico. That trip is in Sept. I am looking forward to those trips. Hopefully, this last tick of COVID will allow us to go.
August is one of my least favorite months, due to the heat & everything is beginning to dry up & die down.
Just going to church tonight, that's about the only plan for the weekend.

Have you met your goal for this last period?
No - just looked it up and
OP eating and 10 minutes activity every day THE EXERCISE was only 180 minutes total and that is not 31x10 minutes at all! Did pretty much okay on the OP and tracking.
With fall right around the corner, do you have any special plans for fall?
Not really...hoping that we have a government and electricity and other things by then...time will tell
As we start a new month, do you have any plans for August.
To Stay OP and get to goal before the end of the year
Talk about anything that you like & check in as often as you can this weekend.
When we had electricity today I was busy using it for non-internet activity so just got online to groups at 7:30 tonight. I am NOT liking things the way they are now...without electricity there are no fans and it is warm outside!

It's hard to think fall (and cooler temps) when it is in the high 90s here during the day and now at 930pm it is still 85 degrees. one of the things I HAVE to do this fall is pull up my deck and get a cement patio poured. I have gone through several of the boards and figure after 35 years it might be time to replace it.
I did pretty well with my goal, although I have done less walking and more gardening/watering these past few weeks.
Church tomorrow and then off to work.
Have a good weekend everyone. Cathy..... I can't imagine not knowing if/when you will have electricity. Hope it cools off for you.

Cathy - hope everything settles down for you...stability in general of the area, better reliability for utilities.
Fall season - I went to the grocery store early this morning. The planters displayed for sale outside have changed from summer planters/flowers to fall planters. I noticed several magazines by the checkouts with fall subjects - fall recipes, fall decorating, etc.
