Being Sick is Rough: Days 65, 66, 67 and 68

One of the things I did not plan for on this journey is illness. I went for two outpatient procedures on day 65 and 67, and therefore, didn’t eat as much bread this week. The first procedure knocked me out the whole day, so there wasn’t time enough to consume a whole loaf. The second procedure involved a tooth, so eating and chewing bread was a tough one.

One of the solutions that came forth was bread pudding, so I used this recipe to make a soft and warm bourbon glazed bread pudding that was really was easy to consume – together with all those calorie laden ingredients in the recipe!

A delicious warm and custardy bread pudding was made with Rotella’s bread, topped with a creamy bourbon glaze.

Being ill is what I’m disliking most about this journey. I can’t challenge myself if I’m not in tip top condition. In addition, exercising was thrown out the window because I was either in pain or too weak to walk. Yes, I was a little down and upset these last few days.

I even made chicken soup so that my entire family can drown together in my sorrows with me.  I thought it was my worst chicken soup from a bag mix, but the kids still lapped it up. It’s going to take a few more days before I can get out from under this cloud.

I am really thankful for Rotella’s bread that was sitting on my counter and nursing me out of this misery. No, I’m not tired of consuming bread. I’m sad that I cannot consume enough. I really think I’ve affirmed something at this point in my journey – that eating bread makes me happy.

Eating bread with exercise makes me extremely happy.

My bread stack for a day’s worth of bread.

On day 68, I was able to get out of bed and started eating my day’s worth of bread again. Can’t help but say that it truly brought me back to my almost normal self again. So thank you Rotella’s Italian Bakery. I got back on track again because your bread was waiting for me.
