First week back to the TTC!

I cancelled my physio yesterday! After a weekend of madness and standing on my toes, I feel confident that I am on the mend. And since I can walk down stairs now, I am back to taking the subway to work instead of driving—less stress, more knitting, more exercise, and it makes suppertime a hundred times easier.

Finally we get to dip into the make-ahead-and-freeze meals I've been cooking from our organic box! In the morning I take something out of the freezer, and after work I zip home on the subway and turn on the oven before heading out to get the boys by car. Last night we had a baked ham with colcannon (mashed potatoes and cabbage) and I steamed some broccoli too when we got home. Ham is my favourite meat for braces I think—the texture is very forgiving; it barely needs chewing. My jaw was sore last night, but that was after having seconds of everything! Whee. Tonight we are having veg lasagna. Also, I bought a protein supplement on the weekend, and yesterday afternoon instead of crashing (like I did on Monday) I made a hot chocolate with protein added. It tasted fine, and really did the trick. Three cheers for whey.
