Things are shifting.

We flattened the curve and saved many hospitals from having too many critically ill patients at one time.
Â
But as we start our 3rd month, many are asking, “now what?”

Â
We’d planned to see the giant sequoias over spring break.
Â
A tiny virus postponed that trip but couldn’t put a damper on our Family Road Trip enthusiasm.

So we improvised :)
Â
Instead of 4 days among the trees, we spent 4 hours car-exploring the Pacific Coast Highway (we saw dolphin...

Â
Measuring Maintenance is a different story.
Â

When I found out I was pregnant for the first time, after the joyful tears and the shocking realization that we were going to have a BABY (!), I went right out and got the book, What to Expect When Your Expecting.

But I found I rarely cracked it open.
Â

Last week we talked about Weight Goals (catch up here)—they are milestones on the way to your Goal.
Â
Today we get to talk about Goal Weight and in particular how to pick yours.
