I go to the States all the time to get them but there's been a supply problem for about 6 months, I haven't been able to find anything except chocolate and vanilla at Walmart, Sam's club or target...and I bought my Sam's club membership specifically for it. Apparently you can order them online (ship to a post office store) but I haven't tried that yet. The cookies and cream was my favourite!

My boyfriend took me out for lunch to celebrate, we didn't do anything big, but it was still a treat. Because of our kids, we rarely get one on one time like that at a restaurant.
I have plans for things like that in the summer, starting with Wonderland!

Good morning!
Busy day at work today since I've been training. It's both exhausting and makes the days go by really quickly.
QOTD: It will be a quiet weekend. I need new workout clothes, so I will go to Old Navy at some point. Otherwise, I am trying not to spend money since February was more expensive than planned.
I am one year out of surgery. My one year was February 27th.
Today's Meals:
B: Greek Yogurt
S: Protein Drink
L: Lasagna (I eat the meat and cheese and a tiny bit of noodle)
S: Crackers
S: Friday Pizza Night
I need to get more cheese and/peanut butter at work since my afternoon snack has no protein right now, but I don't think I will have time to step out today since I'm volunteering at my son's school at lunch time.

Good morning. I have lots to finish up today at work but am always excited to have the weekend off. CC I didn't end up going to Swiss Chalet last night so maybe this weekend.
QOTD: No plans unless you count "crashing Monica's fun weekend". 
B - greek yogurt, spoonful lowfat granola
S - 1/2 protein shake
L - salad with turkey, cheese, boiled egg, ital. dressing
S - turkey pepperette
D - bunless burger with mushrooms and swiss cheese
S - 1/2 protein shake
Need someone to tag along? Sounds like a fun weekend! ENJOY
Happy Friday. I'm going to see Jeff Dunham the ventriloquist tonight at our local arena. Should be fun. Tomorrow I'm going ice fishing with a bunch of friends on their private pond. Been a few years since I've been out ice fishing so need to find all my gear! Sunday will be hot tub and Caesar in the morning! Have a great weekend everyone.
Good morning :)
Nothing specific planned for this morning (maybe getting some groceries), but we are going to look at another house tonight. It's totally not what we had been planning -- small, needs work, sort of in town, but surrounded by farm fields.
QOTD: nothing super planned but Sunday we are going to Moose Winooskis for our friends birthday.
Post-op three years and eleven months.
Breakfast - nut bar
Snack - protein bar
Lunch - chickpea curry
Snack - apple and PB
Dinner - leftover meatloaf
Snack - pudding
All water and vits.
Meatloaf:
2 eggs
3/4 cup of milk
3/4 cup bread crumbs (I used Costco croutons and pulsed them in the food processor)
2lbs ground beef
Diced onion (I used one small)
1/2 small can of tomato paste
1-2 tbsp parsley -- I don't know how much because I had some from our "garden"
Salt -- I thought the croutons would be salty enough and I skipped the salt. Oops lol.
Topping:
1/2 can tomato paste
BBQ sauce
Steps:
Mix everything except the meat (and toppings) in a bowl. Fold in the beef until just mixed -- don't over mix :)
Options - you can form the loaf on a baking sheet but I used a loaf pan. The baking sheet version will stay more loafy/dry and the loaf pan version will be a bit more crumbly/wet because the drippings stay in.
Bake at 350 for 50 minutes. Remove and add toppings (I just put them on the meatloaf separately and swirled them together). Return to oven for 10-15 minutes. When done let stand for 10-15 minutes.
**Note of warning -- I am a terrible cook in general so take all directions with a grain of salt. DH confirmed that the meatloaf was delicious but needed more salt.
