Year 2, Day 65: Magnolia Got Hurt

For those still following, this is day three of Phase One in Year and Day 65. I don't find Phase One too terrifying anymore, though of course the hardest part is eating eggs for breakfast for 14 days. I try always to vary it, but in the end, you're pretty sick of eggs. For the time being, I am trying to mix it up with omelets, but by next week I'll be on hard-boiled, because as much as you get tired of eating them, you get even more tired of preparing them.

Breakfast
3 Egg Omelet with
4 Slices Ham
Shredded Jarlsberg
Tea

Snack
1 Medium Dunkin Donuts Coffee
1 Stick Celery with 1 Tablespoon Super-Chunky Peanut Butter

Lunch: Demo's
Chicken Kebab Salad with Feta

Dinner
Steak Tips
Broccoli
Peppadews

Dessert as Anxiety Reducer
50% Healthy Choice Fudgicle

I was doing pretty well today, but tonight, Ruby accidentally closed the bathroom door onto Magnolia's head and left her with a very scary, but not very serious bleeding bruise. It's enough to make your heart flutter (in the bad way) and certainly made me turn to the ice cream bar (you are allowed up to 75 calories of reduced calorie dessert on Phase One). We were very shaken up, so we all tried to settle down. For the kids that meant going to sleep, for the adults, that meant watching the American Idol results show. But that reverie was broken when some family news came across the transom. (No one got hurt or died). Rather than go back to the chocolate bar, I brushed my teeth and set out for blog writing to calm me down.
