Sunday was a bonding experience in a completely different way, centered on hilarious mutual shame of the least healthy day ever lived by one group of human beings.

When we finished eating and were sitting at the table slowly realizing what we had just done, Lexie sadly looked at her FitBit and announced as the sunlight of the day was fading, “Guys, I’ve only taken 291 steps today..”
