I had a very productive month in June and I’m on track or
ahead in most areas. I think I got a lot
accomplished this month even though we traveled 4360 miles by car on 2
different trips. Of course that explains (but not excuses) the weight gain. I’m really behind in trying new recipes though so if you have any links to good recipes, please let me know!
