Emily said "you're probably so excited about the bread you won't be able to sleep." She was right. I was excited and it was hard to go to sleep. More exciting was the freedom from eggs-ploitation; as two weeks of eggs is hard to take. I know I went four weeks the first go around, but I'm more willing to do more exercise now. If I was a Batman villain I would have stressed "Eggs"-ercise. But I'm not. I debated having the bread plain; then with melted cheese (one day I'll get back to the peanut butter on toast). I took my first bite naked (the bread, not me) then added the fixings. Yep, it's that good. It's like potato chips, it's hard to stop at one.

Though this is the time you can slowly add back carbs to your diet, I need to take it slow. I am going to see Detecto tomorrow (if I don't get iced-out, according to the forecast) so we'll have to assess the damage there. If I was a betting man I don't know, I might say 194 or something—maybe 195? I'm really looking for anything LOWER than 196, that's my goal. If I'm at 196 I'll really know that I won't be having that second slice of bread anytime soon. I'm staying on the plain yogurt for now since really it's lower in carbs than the supposedly 'low-fat' which you're only supposed to have 4 oz of. I figure 6 of plain is a fair trade. I am seriously starting to think about Ruby's diet, for first time in my life—not just about the lunches and stuff, but about the whole shebang—should probably get her off white bread? A recent experiment where I attempted to giver her Organic Fig Newmans instead of Fig Newtons was an abject failure. So we've got a little bit of a way to go there.

Hi, You're so right about Ruby and Magnolia. The earlier you start with teaching them the right way to eat the better. Sorry I didn't do better by you...but look what you have done for yourself! I'm so proud of you. Whatever Mr. Detecto says, you've done so beautifully! Love, MOM
Ditto on banning white bread from the house! As the late Johnny Cochran never said: "If it ain't whole wheat, you must not eat!"
We're trying to get weaned off margarine, and now can be seen spraying "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter" on our toast (whole wheat, of course!). Would you believe NO calories?
Good luck!
