Food choices, so I kind of try to switch my menus up a little bit to be more like salads and cold food in the summertime, so I can manage that very well. I don't want to be over the hot stove a lot. My son loves grilling, so he'll come over and grill sometimes, but for the most part for the summer routine for his food and everything is a lot of cold dishes, salads and pastas and fruit and things like that, that I tend to do in the summertime. Amazing. Very healthy. Summer can be a social season, obviously, with events, food, and more spontaneity. Do these situations bring challenges for you and how do you navigate these? Sometimes they bring challenges. For the most part, I like what I like and I don't like what I don't like. So I know if I'm going to a family event, should I eat before? What should I do for his meals? I try to leave room to eat things and modify my eating. If I'm going to eat bad things or if I know I'm going to cook, I don't want to eat bread. Just try to eat something different and healthy in the morning time. I just try to plan like that because I have a hectic schedule, so I try to plan accordingly as far as meals and hanging out with families and things like that. But I do enjoy being outside and being with family. These days, food and drinks is associated with everything. You can't do anything without somebody adding a drink or a food, like, what we're going to eat, what we're going to drink, you know, so you have to be in control of that situation. For the most part, in the summer, I do have a cooler in the back of my, my truck, and I just try to keep like water and stuff like that and carry my little thermal cup so I won't have to drink those sugary drinks and all of that. So I try. That's really, really amazing. you
