Last week and this next week are extra challenging. I’m not going to be too rigid about following my plan, as you can already see with my week 4 results. 

My sister’s family is in town visiting and they are staying with us. It’s kind of a staycation of sorts.


With them coming into town, we’ll be eating out more and my meals in general will be more unpredictable than usual. While they are in town, I am not going to worry too much about following the plan, instead I’m going to prioritize being present and go with the flow; knowing that I will get back on the plan when they leave.
