Okay, so this is it - Labor Day! - and while I'm mourning the fact that this means fall is just around the corner, to be inevitably followed by the snow-shovelling days of winter, it also means that life returns to some semblance of normal.
Barbecues, picnics and pool parties are behind us. Vacation is over.
Now I can settle back into my routine which has been so rudely interrupted so often during the past three months, making it a challenge to stay on track at times.
This morning I returned to the gym for the first time in two weeks - I did work out whilst on vacation, but not to the normal degree - and I started on page one of a brand new three months tracker.
I'll miss summer, but I'm glad to get back in the groove.
