Practice leads to Back to Basics
We are about to turn the page on a new month as summer slowly slips away. I hope you are well and have been enjoying some favorite activities of LIVING during this slower-paced season. Thank you so much for selecting this correspondence from the many that fill your Inbox, I appreciate the time you spend with me.
Our July Theme, Practice Practice Practice, has focused on the constant effort health management requires of us, particularly weight management with surgery.

August is a terrific month to review the basics, set goals, and actively get back to working the WLS tool in a manner that it in turn the tool works for us.
