    Sorry to hear about the girls.


    15k steps a day is great especially if you have a sedentary job. What's GC? I assume a challenge? Sounds like you are doing really well. I'm doing similar but am trying to do weights more regularly to increase my strength and get to eat more in the future!

    Another quick win should be an underspend on the grocery budget in September and October :T

    I still need to meal plan but I’ve checked our calendar and there are only 21 days between 1 September and 31 October when we are both home for dinner :eek:
