Day 176: The 4th of July I Spent in the ER with My Dad

And also the day I decided I'm not ready to give up logging my food. I don't know why, but I find it kind of satisfying.

• Raisin Nut Bran in 1% milk (breakfast)
• turkey and swiss on a multigrain sandwich thin w/ extra turkey on the side, pretzels, a scrumptious nectarine, water (lunch)
• pretzels & a Texas cinnamon bun from the vending machine in the ER (worth a whopping 440 calories, scandalous)

Day 175: Maybe My Last Food Log Post?

I don't know. I'm toying with the idea of ending this here. 175 seems like a good number to end on, right? As easy as it is to write all I've eaten down, at the end of the day I'm looking for anything I can get out of doing so I can go relax.

We'll see how I feel tomorrow.

• Raisin Nut Bran in 1% milk (breakfast)
• 2 mini bagels w/ Swiss & salami, water (lunch)
  
• 1 banana muffin, 2 slices of Rye toast, 1/2 sliver pound cake, milk (snacks at mom's)
• 1 bean and beef burrito, water, 1.5 slices strawberry-rhubarb pie w/ whipped cream (dinner)
  

Day 174: The Day I Lost My Keys at Costco

Luckily they eventually turned up, but I spent a good hour walking the aisles of Costco holding a sleeping Charlotte and wondering if the groceries in my car were going to spoil in the baking car.

• Special K Red Berry in 1% milk (breakfast)
• a Kashi granola bar
• leftover zucchini cake, spaghetti, and green beans, lots of water, a long but skinny sliver of Ami's cake (lunch)
• 2 chicken enchiladas, white rice, watermelon, water (dinner)
• a few chocolate chips
  

Day 173: The Day I Introduced Abigail and Grace to The Princess Bride.

I half watched, half dozed. I came out of my sleepy stupor several times because of Abby's deep belly laugh. She enjoyed it more than Grace, who declared it to be boring.

Day 171: The Day I FINALLY Rid the Front Lawn of the Dying Azaelas

And oh what a difference! Can't wait until next Spring and the shrubs I will replace them with.
