Aug???

 I can't believe after such a slow start to our summer, that we are already over a week into August. Summer to me is July. 

Once August arrives, it feels like it's just all down hill.  Grass is dewy in the mornings, nights have a chill to them and of course, days get shorter. 

We rarely plan any family vacations in August, just cause it's not hot enough and back when the boys were playing hockey, august was all about training camps and getting ready for the upcoming season. 

Now that the boys are older and not playing hockey anymore, we have decided to reintroduce august vacations.  Well, at least for myself and hubby. We will take a few weeks off at the end august/early september and officially finish off summer. 

No plans currently made but we were unable to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary a few years ago due to covid, so I'm hoping we can go somewhere just the two of us, if even just for a few days. 

As far as July went, it felt like we were on one long vacation. We had our family vacation at the start of July and then we had a few celebrations at home with friends and then our trip to Portland at the end of month. 

All in all, great vacations and celebrations and uhm.. food. Lots of food. 

My weight was up and down all of July. Before our family vacation I managed to get my weight down to 171 and then when we returned it was back up to 174.4.  Then spent a few weeks getting it back down again to 170 and then went away to portland and it bumped back up again to 174.4... I guess that is my happy vacation weight right now!! 

So, I'm still working on getting it back down. 

I know I've said it before but I'd love to finish off the month in the 160s... maybe this time I'll be lucky?! 

One thing that might help me is that hubby is currently "dieting" too... not really following any specific plan but he's cutting back carbs and sugars.. he's seeing results already which will be motivation for me to join in too! 

So here is to august!!...
