    @PackerFanInGB here are some photos of farmers market buys. You're right, not a lot of produce yet, but plenty of asparagus, rhubarb, green onions, spring mix (salad greens), greenhouse tomatoes, eggs, SuzyQ fish, among my favorites. Our 2 rain barrels were purchased at different times. One came from Sam's Club, maybe the other from Home Depot.

    Thank you!!! I love your idea of buying the herbs to grow also. I've wanted to do that but since I'm not much of a cook, I figured I wouldn't know how to use them anyway. Maybe I'll try that this year too. Asparagus is one of my favorites and I'm pretty sure my husband wouldn't turn away a rhubarb pie either. LOL Tonight is the beginning of the Wednesday night Farmer's Market, isn't it? I won't be able to go tonight but am so happy the season has begun!

    I think I'll check out Home Depot for the rain barrel. We go there for a lot of yard items. :)

    Thanks again! YEA SPRING! C'MON SUMMER! :flowerforyou:

    @nlmackey I agree with @Faebert , @daneejela and @mytime6630 ! You are awesome, and you have inspired me many times. I'm also sorry for your loss. I have been the one between my mom and dad since they divorced and they can make it tough sometimes. (((HUGS)))

    @Faebert
    You wrote a couple of pages back that you feel a bit worried about dealing with post-op restrictions and going back to the non-fit state...I am sorry you need to go through that procedure...I just wanted you to know that you are a huge inspiration to me (and I believe to others as well). Every time I read some of your posts I think to myself - this is where I want to be in a year or two from now.
    I am sure you'll bounce back very quickly because this fear means that you care...and you sound like a person who takes very seriously things she cares about. Also, we'll all be here cheering up for you during recovery.

    I agree with @daneejela. @Faebert , you inspire me on a daily basis. Heck, just seeing your profile pic is inspiring. I'm sorry also that you are going through the procedure. Is it coming soon? I think I must have missed that post, but I know you were talking about it awhile back. I have no doubt that you will come back from it and kick *kitten*! Are you feeling any better this afternoon since your fall this morning?

    Had a weak moment in the grocery store, and picked up 6 homemade cookies. And .. proceeded to eat every one of them. Why do I do this! :s I guess its because I have not had a cookie for such a long time ... but I should have just waited, gone back home without the cookies.
    Tomorrow is a new day

    JFT, Thurs
    1. GO TO THE GYM!!! Have not been there all week
    2. 8+ water
    3. mindful eating

    I’m so glad to know you’ve been reading. That means you haven’t left for good! You take all the time you need, my friend. You know where to find us! (Plus you have my email address if you need to get in touch with me too! ❤️).

    Log accurately :)
    60 minutes intentional walking :)
    Productive work day :)
    Enjoy evening with family :)

    Evening with family had rocky start. SIL who was hosting asked if I would bring salad she likes. I had told her it would be close to 6, she said that would be great. Rush to get there-they ate an hour before (she does stuff like that, I should not be surprised). I vented to one person, who also agreed the timing of what she did was pretty messed up. I calmed down, ate a bit (food was not that good, so glad I made salad). Positive side, since food wasn't that good, easy to stay within calories-so much so I had a cupcake in celebration of another SIL birthday.

    @PackerFanInGB -I am fortunate that I can retire anytime I want to-makes going to work much easier!

    ✔▪Maintain baby's daily schedule
    ✅▪Log Food / Stay under calorie limit➡️ate back some of my exercise calories which I'm trying to avoid but I'm still technically in the green

    ✔▪Take hubby dinner bc he will be working late at his jobsite
    ✔▪Dinner
    ✔▪Evening schedule

    Tough day. Little one's teething was terrible today!! My hubby wasn't very positive today and the other kiddos misbehaved as well. Overall it was an overwhelming day but instead of allowing depression to take over, I put my tennis shoes on and popped in my exercise video. I enjoyed a little bit of time with my hubby at his jobsite while he ate. Now it's time to call it a day!!

    You ladies keep hanging in there!! Remember it IS JUST FOR TODAY for a reason!! One day at a time!! Just keep being honest with yourself and start fresh again tomorrow!!

    @Faebert I hope you get some rest and recover from falling this morning. Usually it takes about 48-72 hours for the swelling and soreness to subside. So if you wake up tomorrow more sore than today, just allow yourself another day of rest (maybe plan a nice aromatherapy bath). Hope you feel better soon. 😎
