September Progress

Good Morning! It is October! Can you believe it!? Where did this year go?? My mom always told me that time went faster when you had kids, and she was right. This year has flown by and I can't believe we are starting to talk about the holiday season.

September here was a busy and crazy month. We were in Indiana for a good chunk of it which helped the time go rather quickly. Brynn turned 1! And my baby brother got married! It was such a great trip seeing so many family and friends. We had a wonderful time.

When we got back I was pretty sure things would calm down, they didn't. Ants, a leak, half wall replaced, ants still, and an ear infection all effected our last week of September. But none of that will stop us, although the illness will slow us down. But no complaints, because the truth is, it could always be worse. Everyone has those weeks where things just don't go as expected and that's what happened to us. No big deal. As we were dealing with an overly cranky and sick Mady this weekend, I couldn't help but think it could be much worse. She has an ear infection, that's all. There are kids out there dealing with much worse and parent's taking care of those children not knowing when or if they will ever get better. I know that we will have another few rough days, but things should get better soon. We are lucky.

As far as my weight loss and excercise progress go, this month was pretty good. I lost 9lbs, which was pretty unexpected, this past week at home was rough and I didn't lose any, but overall for the month I did great. Just 11.5lbs left to lose to meet my end of the year goal. Exercise wise was okay. Nothing great, but I did do some working out. I am hoping to see bigger strides this month toward my running goals. I did get up and workout this morning, which is a great way to start the day, week and month for me. And it was fun, even though I am still hurting from the bootcamp workout I did with a group of ladies on Friday. My neighbor Karla certainly knows how to kick your butt, in a good way.

Well I am excited for October and all that it will bring! I have even started to getting crafty for the month. I know, I know, crafting and I don't go well together, but I think I have found some simple Halloween/fall things that I can actually do. Enjoy some of the pictures from this month!
