Breakfast, Day Forty-Seven

• 1 slice whole wheat bread
• 1 tsp low-fat cream cheese
• 2 oz turkey breast (substitute for roast beef)
• 1/4 tomato, sliced
• 7 whole almonds
• 1/2 tbsp raisins
• 1/2 cup skim milk
• 1 apple

I woke up feeling dreadfully ill, the digestive woes having only worsened over night. I had a fever and unbearable stomach ache, so I took a second dose of laxatives, thinking if things did not get moving, I would go see a doctor today.

Fortunately the drugs did their thing and I'm feeling immensely better, though still a little nauseous. I have no idea what brought on this bout of bizarre intestinal behavior, but I'm relieved that it seems to have passed.

This breakfast was good, though I was a little frustrated because the deli did not have roast beef. I didn't know if it was okay to substitute turkey breast (though I assumed it was). To be honest, I didn't really care - I was just happy to be feeling a little better.
