August is a long hot month where we often find ourselves mentally in two different spaces, anticipating the fall season and making the most of what is left of summer. The long days, heat and busyness that summer brings often leads to less focus and being more lax in our attitudes and habits. Whether this summer has been one of progress and success, yet you feel your energy waning, or one of struggle and challenges and in need of a fresh start, let's alter our perspective and view August as a mid-summer recharge in our efforts. Maybe you have your eye on fall. That's great but what do you need to be doing now to enter the fall season where you want to be? Maybe you're wishing for a summer do-over. While we can't bring back days and weeks already gone, there is still plenty of time to rethink our choices and set new goals so by the time summer ends we can still feel a sense of accomplishment.
All our welcome to our monthly neighborhood block party so welcome back to the regulars, and please make yourself known and comfortable if you're a lurker considering joining. We'd love to have you here!
Good
on all of our August efforts!

. Remind me never to take vacation right before two retreats and orienting a new staff member 
on your big store opening! I'm so happy that it was such a success. It's good when you arrive at the end of a formidable task with many moving pieces and can finally appreciate the outcome of long days and nights with little rest. I really can understand why you were chosen to establish the new store and get it off the ground. Enjoy your rest! Btw, 28,000 steps is amazing!
. Up until about a year ago my cycles were clockwork just like yours. I also had supplies everywhere. I can't tell you how many times colleagues discreetly came to me with their students whose TOM unexpectedly arrived and needed supplies. They know I have an assortment. When I was at my lowest weight and healthiest I certainly felt better when TOM arrived and I think it was due to the hormones adjusting. Even though I'm older now I do believe I would feel better if my diet and exercise were on track. As for your stuffed, baked peppers...
I got out to walk on one of the days and came back sweaty and totally not into it. The heat is just disgusting. Buuuut I'm still in the 290's so yay. Hopefully we all have a better week next week. 
. I immediately called and they pulled up my order, created a ticket for me and asked me to call when I received my product so they could apply the discount. I called them yesterday and true to their word they applied it and I received a refund of $54.11 when they factored in tax.
