So… this summer has been difficult for me. Not sure why. I generally like summer- I love to be out and about- and really have been quite a bit, yet I kind of feel like the whole summer went by in a blur!
However- as per usual- when my life “heats up” it really gets moving! Speaking of moving… My Guy and I are moving to bigger diggs- by the end of this month! YAY! Doubling the space we have, moving to an upper floor where we anticipate less noise, laundry room across the hall instead of down two floors… all good things. It is a little outside our “ideal” neighborhood, but the neighborhood is really cool. It’s considered the up and coming arts district, so we will have a ton of fun this fall exploring and learning our way around.
I also have some big news coming about the Health Counseling business… so keep your eyes open for that! I am even trying to start another smallish venture on the side- you all know I never really stop right? LOL
So- let’s see… updates? My birthday weekend was awesome! My Guy spoiled me beyond anything I have ever had. He is so dang sweet! We went to the Comedy Club Friday night, Movies & Shopping on Saturday AM, then out for Sushi on Saturday night. It was great!
No Car- We are still car-free. To be perfectly honest with you… has not really been all that inconvenient. Yeah, I have to grocery shop a little more often- and when I do… carrying all those groceries on my back is not a ton of fun… but it is only a momentary inconvenience and it’s all good. (Especially considering the savings!) We took a bus the other day to the suburbs to see our chiropractor- that was an adventure- and really not that difficult. My Guy rented a car one day for some things he had to do. But still all less expensive than the car- so we’re making out great without the car. It has been going well enough that we are considering extending the no-car lifestyle into November. We’ll see! (It’s going to be a little more inconvenient to move without the car… we can actually kind of phase the move- but without a car to just run stuff over… well- anyway… it’ll all work out! LOL)
My Guy is doing great in his weight loss. We celebrated his “Under 200 lbs” weekend not too long ago. That was a fun filled celebration too! He is so close to his goals. My own part in our 10 lb challenge is going in the wrong direction! I GAINED 2 lbs! What the heck? Have I mentioned before that maintenance is hard? <sigh> Well it is. BUT, I can do it. I can do anything right? I just need it set it in my mind and get to it!
Anyway- sorry for not checking in more often. Summer is weird for me- but with a Super Busy Fall ahead- you will probably hear from me more often! I am at my best with a thousand things going on and swirling around me!!
Look for more Health Counseling announcements, return of Meal Plan Monday and the Curvy Spotlight and more!! THANKS for your love and support!!
La-
Sounds like there are some really exciting things going on in your life – I would love to live in an arts district – so much fun!
Keep your chin up and keep moving, that extra weight will be gone if you focus! Yippee for Guy’s goal!!!
You keep moving!! That’s what it’s all about, right?
My brother lives in Germany, and hasn’t had a car in about 15 years! Not having a car can be inconvenient, but certainly can keep you healthier!
Sounds like it was a nice summer! Hope you enjoy your new ‘digs’ and settle in quickly.
