Well, fall has finally come to Northern Alberta. We had rain Friday and Saturday (long periods of heavy rainfall) which caused our temps to fall drastically. It was the best record of temps on record ever for our region. We still have green trees here yet - which I have never seen in my 20 yrs living here.
Last night I went for a walk...Yikes It was cool. My ears were cold when I got home. I told dh that if this keeps up, I'll be heading back to the gym again in October. I am wimpy and don't like the cold. But - I want to keep on walking. It is seems to be the one thing I can do consistently, and feel better once I'm out walking. Even if I give myself permission to only do a portion because of my mood or energy level. I almost always keep going and complete and regular loop. Some days I feel like I can do it at a speedy pace. Other days, I just walk and not strive to break any records. I am working really hard at reframing my thinking - and stopping allllllllllllll of the negative, toxic diet/nutrition/exercise culture that seems to be that constant voice in our heads.
I hope everyone is well, and settling back into routines again now that school is back. I know that I am happy that routines are returning in our household. Our summer was great, but it is definitely time to get back into our regular routines.
Still working on the details of our family trip. I can't wait. Dh and were planning on going to the Vegas Nascar trip as as last minute get away. A little turn and burn trip. BUT, dd messaged today, asking me to come help paint their new house when they get possession of it - which is of course...that weekend So I'm a little bummed, but we will plan for another weekend for the 2023 schedule. We were hoping to use our companion fare for that trip. OH well, easy come, easy go!
