Last week, you mentioned about me holding in the reins a little tighter, keeping things a little more buttoned up in my macros to see if there is a shift with my weight.

I will say that has been guidance that I've been reflecting on all week. It makes me more prepared for this vacation.

I'm packing healthy snacks and will be bringing protein shakes.

I agree I also want to go out once a day for a meal.

mind and things were just getting thrown all out of place.

Philadelphia in the city to celebrate our second wedding anniversary.

Happy anniversary, Mel.
