Last week was busy ( worked 50 hours) but I stayed on plan. Taking time off this week. Today was the first workout I rated a level 8 out of 10 on difficulty. The trainer was so happy they finally challenged me to that point. I saw this online and it resonated with me. I think it also applies to cancer, grief, and other challenges. Love you all

Things like beans, tomatoes, greens, etc. There was an entire category for French fries, tater tots, hashbrowns, etc. Clearly I'm not the only person who sometimes struggles to make healthy choices related to this category!! Curse you air fryer! Insights gained include things we all already know.  Being aware of eating and exercise choices leads to being more intentional about those choices.  Habits are important - they keep you on track and motivated, especially when life gets crazy.
