Good morning :)
Poor puppy #2 seems to have seasonal allergies this year. We are taking him to the vet today to see if we can get something to help. We put a bit of spray on him last night and that seemed to help a bit, but he is matting his fur daily with his scratching. I feel so bad for him.
I also have a doctor's appointment this morning. I guess it is time to reveal our big news... We are expecting another baby (another furless one ;) in January.
This has definitely been affecting my eating -- mostly I don't feel like eating or if I do I get sick. This means my menu has been a little carby lately as well :)

Yayyy It's Friday ;)
I don't have anything too exciting planned for today. It is a normal day so far but that can change quickly, then I think I'll head to the gym and do a workout followed by using the hydro massage chair. Friday used to be my night out with friends but in the last few years I've been quite content to just come home and relax. (A sign I'm getting OLD)
B - greek yogurt
S - egg bites
L - rotisserie chicken, lettuce, grainy mustard wrap
S - brown rice & seed crackers with roasted red pepper hummus
D - protein shake
S - likely pick away at some more chicken since I seem to be starved a few hours after working out
Have a great weekend everyone!
Yes, it's a lot of trial and error. Also finding ones that have what you need or that aren't disgusting :)
Thank you.. trying to get all these vitamins in, is proving to be difficult! Lol
Hi Melissa,
My typical day I would take my morning pills and vitamins (multivitamin and B12) and then wait a bit to have my milk. I take my extra iron during the day and then vitamin D and magnesium at night. If I'm not eating a lot of dairy products then I also add in the calcium citrate twice during the day :)

Hey Meggles,
I have a newbie question for you.. I also have milk for my 1st breakfast. Do you take your morning vitamins right after you are finished drinking the milk or do you wait 30 minutes after to take them.. I am so confused.
Thanks in advance!
Melissa
Good morning :)
Nothing much planned today. My mom and brother are visiting and I have a doctor's appointment. I did a bit of tidying this morning. Our kitchen is quite small and lacks pantry space so we store a lot of dry goods in our basement. It was such a disaster that I could never find anything so I would just get more at the store. I tidied it up and found a missing jar of pickles ;) lol.
QOTD: do you hoard food? Our freezer and pantry (such as it is) are jammed with food. I try to go through and use up random things every once in a while. I will pull out 2-3 things and challenge DH to make a meal to use them up -- he is a very good cook. It's like that TV show competition.
