Good morning :)
The little nugget is still sleeping. DH decided that while he is off would be a good time to get her sleeping in her own room. I have not been enjoying this plan. However normally she would be up by now so maybe this is a good thing... We shall see.
QOTD: moderately superstitious I would say because of my grandma -- she teaches me all the funny superstitions and then they stick. Mostly I joke about them -- like if you are driving and say something about how well the drive is going and then suddenly you get stuck in traffic... Saying it gets you in trouble lol. I more of a karma person though -- in the positive sense. If you are a good person and put kindness out into the world then you will get goodness back.
Post-op four years.
Breakfast - protein bar
Snack - Greek yogurt and banana
Lunch - unknown
Snack - apple and PB
Dinner - I'm thinking of mixing up a cabbage thing in the instant pot.
Snack - pudding
Lots and lots and lots of water.
Good morning everyone. Yesterday was a wonderful day and I got to see 2 very dear old friends. I really needed to see some friendly faces because my brain has been running a mile a minute with things that have to get done and all of this has me panicking. I have to write some very important emails and I can't screw this up.
Today I am going swimming, then to the gym, then meeting a friend for coffee. The rest of the day will be errands and drafting the emails.
QOTD: Are you superstitious? I don't think that I am, but I could probably list all of the common superstitions. You won't see me walking under a ladder because it's just not safe. If a black cat crossed my path, I would try to pet it.
The eats today at 4 years 8 months are:
B. Let's all sing the coffee song
L. The first meal of the day and I never got to eat this yesterday -spinach salad, grilled steak, cheese, cucumbers, avocado, WF Honey/Dijon dressing
D. Thai soup with all the fixin's
S. Hot cocoa
Have a great day everyone.

I understand your point of view. Also, this is a short term situation. Go for the higher price and I am sure after surgery when you are on your journey 5 or 10 can be burned off walking from room to room. You will have more wiggle room later and your doctor can approve or disapprove a change.
Just my point of view.
Heya ladies. The sun is out ;) Working away on a mountain of paperwork but needed to get my menu posted.
QOTD: No I have never been to any high school reunions and am not even sure they have had any for my graduating year. I'd be more interested in having a reunion of my grade school graduating class since we were basically all together for our first 9 years of school.. I always wonder what happened to those friends/classmates.
B - greek yogurt, raspberries
S - 1/2 protein shake
L - roasted chicken, grainy mustard lettuce wrap (a repeat of yesterday)
S - cheese stick
D - leftover meatballs, parsnips, squash from my moms house
S - 1/2 protein shake
I was planning on seeing if I could find some online for sale by someone who didn't use all of theirs.

Morning CC, sorry I've been MIA. Diet fatigue, exercise fatigue, you name it I'm living it. Why does it have to be so hard to stay healthy? Well that's enough whining, who said I could have a pity party!!!
Hit the gym this morning and did my weight routine - against by better judgement (or wantings maybe - judgement was likely sound).
B - deli turkey rolls, cheese stick
S - nothing yet, but have skyr with raspberries if I get to it
L - romaine, with tomatos/cukes creamy greek feta dressing, 3.5 oz bbq chicken
S - hmmmmm meat stick maybe more cheese

Hope nobody is getting blown away out there super windy in my 'hood.
Take care.

Marshalls, Winners, sometimes Bed Bath and Beyond sell Jordon's Skinny Syrups in different flavours. Where are you going to buy the Optifast?

Awwww I hope you both feel better soon! I remember those days when the crying didn't stop and there was nothing that seemed to help... exhausting for both of you.
Hang in there, big hugs.
