tldr; Losing track, and losing motivation \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n

Get to 175 lbs
\n<\/strong>It’s worse than May, but realistically that was unsustainable. I’m starting to ask myself whether driving towards a number really matters.

June 2018 weight update<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

1 book per month
\n<\/strong>I hopped into some classics this month – specifically Of Mice and Men<\/a>. I can’t figure out if I love it or hate it, but I completely understand why it’s different, unique, reproduced, examined, and the like. I also love reading stories that are set in places where I’ve been. And Steinbeck did a great job storytelling that road and the scenery that is Salinas and the surrounding area in California.<\/p>\n

2 date nights with Micky

1 date per child per quarter<\/strong>
