Good morning :)
I will give myself a B+ for sticking to my plan yesterday lol. There were a few nibbles -- it's especially hard to stay away from the little nugget's leftovers. I was outside a bit -- did some weeding. Not fun. The garden soil that we got seems to have a lot of weeds -- two in particular.
QOTD: what was the hardest change or rule for you having surgery? Mine was the no pop and no gum rules. I was a heavy pop drinker before. I haven't missed gum as much as I thought I would.

Oh yes, sign me up for all the fish!! ;) Lol. DH made tuna salad the other day and I almost had to leave the house lol.
Good morning all,
I also weighed myself this morning and the scale is not moving. I have had no weight loss since the gym closed mid-March so it's frustrating. I like your idea of small manageable goals so will set the same and work on 5 lbs for now. Over the past few weeks, weight training was out of the question due to shoulder issues, but now that the weather is nice I think longer walks daily will help plus I can use my indoor cycle if there is rain.
QOTD: Well I had done very well on losing up until the past couple of months and I have "maintain" down to a science so the key for me will be to get back to the losing phase. My menu has been consistent but I'm going to pull out my old food logs from the first solid food phase and try using those...... more fish ;) (Megs favorite lol) We can do it girl!!
B - greek yogurt, blueberries
S - boiled egg
L - tossed salad with grilled chicken
S - tamari almonds
D - baked chicken, asparagus
S - turkey pepperette
Good morning :)
I weighed myself this morning and I'm not happy with where I'm at so I need to put more effort into turning things around. I believe in setting small, manageable goals. So my first goal is to lose five pounds. We have been spending a lot of time outside, so my activity level has been up a bit, but it could also be better.
QOTD: how are you doing with achieving your weight goal, maintaining, or working on regain? My regain is primarily from pregnancy, and I gave myself too much slack. I know I can turn things around!! :)

Good morning ;)
Awww sorry to hear you aren't feeling the best today. Maybe since LN2 didn't sleep so well through the night she will have a nice long nap today and so can MOMMY! Crossing my fingers for you.
QOTD: Honestly I have never been a nap person. If I'm sick or for some reason have a poor night, I will occasionally just lay down when I get home from work for an hour or so. It really throws me off when I do that though,,,, I wake up and feel like I missed my alarm or something then realize its 6:30 p.m. ... very disorienting!
B - protein shake
S - greek yogurt & blueberries
L - turkey, tossed salad
S - dry roasted almonds
D - egg white omelette wrap with bacon, mushrooms and cheese
S - shouldn't need one - maybe chocolate hummus and strawberries
Did much better on my water since it was 32 degrees yesterday! 3.5L
Good morning :)
Not feeling 100% myself this morning. LN2 was up three times through the night which is very unusual for her. We will have a quiet day.
QOTD: do you nap? I love taking naps. I always get tired around 2pm so I love having a refresh nap.

Rest of the day is up in the air but we have leftover BBQ ribs from last night.

I'm not an outdoorsy person so I try to make sure I get the little nuggets out a lot to see the bugs and plants :) it's not my favourite thing but I think it's important for them.
Again I'm behind the times but my menu was pretty standard and thankfully I stuck to it.
QOTD: I think my favorite toys were likely lego and lite-brite although I did do a fair amount of playing outside since I lived in the country. We didn't really use toys outside but would steal my moms tupperware and go down in the ditch to our hideout where you could find anything from "pet" tadpoles to a stash of worms for catching fish. The good old days where you just needed nature and imagination to have fun!
Good morning :)
Nothing specific planned for today. We are getting our weekly grocery pickup this morning so it will be nice to restock our fresh foods. LN2 is starting to hold her head up so I got the exersaucer toy out of storage. LN1 thinks it must be for her -- all the toys are hers ;) Our little living room is drowning in toys so I will probably put some away for a bit. I had saved a bunch of toys from the little nuggets first birthday and I've been giving them to her randomly since then. It has been good for spreading out her interest. I have a slide for her for outside -- I'm just waiting for our tree to fill in a bit so we can have some shade :)
QOTD: favourite childhood toy? I loved Barbie's and I also had teenage mutant ninja turtle action figures. I always wanted a Mr. Potato Head so I got one for the little nugget and we play with it together lol.

I'm a day late for posting my menu but I'll answer the QOTD.
I don't think I really have plant nostalgia but I definitely miss heading out to the garden late summer for some fresh sweet corn. I just buy it at local roadside stands and support the farmers now because I don't have the time or space to plant rows of sweet corn. This past weekend I did plant all of my large container planters (8 in total I think) with reds and purples so they look really nice and if we get the rain that we are supposed to this week, I won't even have to water.
