and making healthy decisions. Splendid. Okay, so do you find yourself preparing physically or mentally for the colder months ahead? And what does that look like for you? Yeah, so I definitely think planning ahead for winter is something that's that's big because it goes back to again there's some more holidays in there. It's not as motivating I definitely noticed for myself some mood changes with the weather and having the shorter days that it just being cold and physically not being able to get out and be active. And I think we have done a lot of things to help with that. So years ago, we did things like invested in some home exercise equipment. And that has made a huge difference for me, because then I can still be active regardless of what the temperature is outside, which has helped in both summer and winter. Whether it's super, super hot or super, super cold, being able to still have those things that I can do at home that keep me active, but that did require pre-planning to be able to budget for those things, you know, thinking of like treadmills and large dumbbells and bars and things like those aren't cheap. So being able to really budget and plan ahead to be able to afford for us to get those things to be able to use them in the winter months was really important for us and something that we valued. So we did try to fit it into our budget. And then once you have them, you're like, oh, this is great. I have them and now I can use them and you know that that makes a difference because I think the activity used to be a big struggle for me in the winter until we were able to make some of those again those financial planning to be able to get some of those items that can then help me stay active even in the winter in the colder months where I'm not outside moving as much.
