Fresh from the Garden

I am getting into a bit of a routine now. I was able to get all my chores done yesterday in the morning and also made time for a 30 minute workout and a shower. Yeah!

I am having the grumpy/emotional/painful days of ovulation that started yesterday. This means a not nice Mommy to be around and eating good becomes more difficult. I had a struggle in the afternoon with my eating and did overindulge on food that I never eat. I hate the cycles that evolve when I overeat. I am sure all who struggle with weight issues know what I am talking about and there is no need to explain any further. I hope I do better today!


Last night I went out to weed the garden and found I had some produce ready to pick and eat. I harvested 4 cucumbers, (we all shared one last night, yummy!) 3 zucchini (small) and lots of green beans. Guess what we are having with our lunch and supper today?!?!?

A side note; we decided that adding a kitten to the family was not a great idea at this point so I was able to find a good home for her at our neighbours where we can visit and play with her as often as we would like. This made it a bit easier for the children to accept the fact that WE were not keeping her.

  1. Oooooo, so purdy!! Love those fresh veggies, Christine!

    sorry for the hard hormone day.. I struggle my worst on hormone crazy days too... keep pushing through... do what you have to to get through.. cry, journal, have someone take the kids for a bit.. go for a walk... anything to distract is good.

    Hope tomorrow is much much better for you!
