Re: Monday health and wellness
I managed to get in a lot of walking despite being on vacation.
Strugglemuffin of the week: (Just because we know... doesn't mean we do)
I ate terribly, French fries, ice cream, Chinese food. It was bad. It doesn't help that we were out all day everyday doing different activities and I needed to eat constantly to ease the M/S.

Going grocery shopping today, buying only healthy stuff. Also going to meal prep for the week (grill and shred chicken, pre chop veggies etc)
