:wave: everyone!

It has been a very long time since I checked in and I've missed you all! Per usual my absence is work related. We're on the quarter system so our academic year doesn't begin until late September. This year it was September 25. With such a late start all of our fall welcome activities are held throughout October. It is just now beginning to slow down to a "normal" pace. In the time I've been away I did manage to hire a new Administrative Coordinator who will begin November 12. I still have two other positions to fill but all in due time. My weight continues to toggle between 209-211 so maybe a pound loss is in there somewhere. While I am nowhere close to fulfilling my goal to run regularly, I did join our little student staff Wednesday running group and have been faithfully every Wednesday. In all transparency I am using the term "running" loosely :lol:.

I have been catching up with reading all the posts. It sounds like October was a trying month for all of us. I just put up our November thread and it speaks a little to that and what happens around this time of year. However, while October was a challenging month you all recognized this and implemented back in your good habits before the proverbial train left the track. And you continued to track your progress here. Those are HUGE NSVs! One of my goals is to check in here at least 3x per week. November is my birthday month (the 11th to be exact ;)) and I want to approach this new year with more accountability.

Now...on to November!

:wave: friends!

:haphal:! I hope everyone who celebrates it through costume and/or candy giving has a wonderful day/night!

November thread is up and ready.
