As we started September, I took it as a new chapter, starting over again. This month was rough, I was re-adjusting to being back home and getting a new routine. I have to start somewhere and here I am…

Here are some words that were prominent during my month:
Warm/// This month was extra warm for September. I wasn’t mad about it but towards the end, I was looking forward to crisp fall air.
Grateful/// unexpected bonding at work turned coworkers into friends and girl dinner was created. Who knew being vulnerable was actually a good thing.
Emotional/// With the break-up still being so fresh, I felt emotional during the month. I flipped through an array of emotions that included sad, angry, and proud.
In-Between/// I felt like I was inbetween again. I was working hard all month to establish routines and get my life back on track. It’s a weird feeling of being in between especially at my age. But I’m resilient and can get through this.

Flashback
I think this is one of the biggest flashback sections all year! Clearly, September signals me to get my butt moving and start blogging again.
in 2022, i was saving money, running miles and going on lots of fun adventures; in 2021, I tried dating again (and got stood up), spent lots of time outside and was going to the gym consistently; in 2020, we were still in quarantine, I picked up some overtime at work, and social media was overwhelming. in 2019, I had a lot of midday thoughts and it was a new beginning for me, in a sense; in 2016, I tried a linky party for the first time (Blogtember) and reposted a heartfelt post about September 11th; in 2015, I was in blogger mode and wrote fun posts about the month and my adventures; in 2014, I began again with blogging after a short break; in 2013, I bought a new car, shared silly snippets of my day AND introduced the world to the Everyday Jersey Girl; and finally, in 2011, I was sharing silly snippets of my daily life.

Gym update
I started going to the gym early in the morning, kinda like tricking myself into working out before my brain realizes it. I made it to the gym 4 times this month. It’s a start especially since not going to the gym for a few months.
I took advantage of the beautiful weather and went on 7 walks. Between neighborhood walks and lunch time walks I was a happy girl.
Instead of my monthly 5K, I did the 9/11 stair climb. Woof, I give those firefighters credit for doing that with all their gear! Check out my post- 12 in 12 September for more details on that!

Looking forward
October is a new month. Crisp air, closer to Christmas and another 5k. Maybe some fall fun too!
