Summer has ended and in order to get myself excited about the season changing, I have written down a few things that remind me of Fall.

Marathons! A big shout out to those running the Marine Corps (Frannie!), St. George (Rachel, Nap Warden!), NYC (Fitarella), and Baltimore (Me! well, it should have been me if not for this darn foot problem). Your training is almost done gang, hang in there!

Football:
I can’t say I’m too excited about this one since my husband becomes part of the sofa on Thursday nights, Saturdays, and Sundays. Can someone explain to me why football is on so much?
Then again, I love to take the boys to go watch games and practice at the school near our house. We run and play on the sidelines and pretend to have our own game. (a great chance for some extra fitness in my day!)

Fleece: Nothing says COZY more than a comfy fleece sweatshirt and pants on a crisp fall day. If you are looking for some amazing and comfortable clothing, please check out the new clothing line from Jockey. (disclaimer: I am an independent consultant for Jockey, but I can assure you that I LOVE the clothing!)

Apple picking: This brings back so many fun memories from my own childhood and now it is so much fun to experience the adventure with my own kids. It also gets my family excited about eating apples, which is easy to do when you have buckets of apples laying around your house. (remember my ABC plan? I need to bring that back!)

How about you, what does Fall/Autumn make you think about? Institute Park

    Good question about football on TV – I think they’ve added more time slots!!!

    I love wearing sweatshirts and yep – Halloween! :)

    Nice Jockey pitch, BTW. :)

    Football! woohoo! I love being able to keep my windows open and the enjoy the breeze that goes through my condo, and to be able to snuggle up under my duvet with Bad Cat and Bad Kitten. Good Times!

    Fall means cute sweaters. And boots. And fun jackets. And fuzzy socks. And hot cider. Okay, I’ll stop trying to be shallow now.

    Fall means beautiful leaves and my favorite time of year!!

    Still pretty hot in So. Cal. No need for fleece yet. Lucky if I wear a long sleeve shirt in November.

    seasons kind of blend in here….

    I think you forgot Monday nights too;)

    I love fall with all of the above answers. Apples, opening windows and the smell of the changing leaves, love the fleece too. Fall is a great time to get outside to exercise.

    Apples Before Crap — I love it. If I say that to my kids, they’ll be 100% more likely to eat an apple. Thanks!

    We used to live in Southern California, and September meant…THE HOTTEST MONTH OF THE YEAR,lol! Which was odd for me, having moved there from Massachusetts.
    Now it means back to school (for the kids), beautiful Bay Area weather, and my favorite holiday, Halloween!

    Mmm, love fall!

    Fall means soup, long walks, great fashion (scarves and boots hurray!), and productivity to me.

    Its also an inspirational time of year, somehow. It really puts me in the writing mood. And everything is so beautiful!

    If I could sum up fall for me in 2 words it would be family and warmth! I am giddy that fall is here :)

    Uh…since we have ESPN Classic and some channel that plays old football games 24/7, my house is lucky enough to have football everyday in the Slacker house!

    I also love the ability to wear fleece and my ugly-but-oh-so-comfortable clogs!

    About Me

      In my life before kids, I was a personal fitness trainer and self proclaimed fitness junkie. I loved the 5am workouts and evening strength training sessions. Now that I'm a mom, my life is filled with 5am feedings and piles of laundry. I've let my fitness slip and this blog will hopefully provide motivation to help myself (and YOU!) get back in shape. I want to be fit, be healthy, and be happy! No more excuses....it's time to workout mommy!
