The Battle of the Bulge

In the household on Glover, there lived two wise and wonderful maidens. Their names were Darina and Canielle. They over the years had been in many adventures and fun situations, as well as having shared laughs, tears and the occasional cup of hot chocolate and a stroopwafel. Yet, over the years, the cups of hot chocolate and other delectible goodies had taken their toll and both of the maidens were feeling very uncomfortable and frustrated with themselves. They reasoned together and decided it would be best for all concerned to embark on a journey of self-awareness with the mantra "low-cal is good" as opposed to "oooohhhmmmm" or other such nonsensical things chanted in the past. So out the door went the chips, cookies and icecream and in their place came marching in the healthy stuff. Brigadier General Broccoli led the way, accompanied by Corporal Carrot and Lieutenant Lettuce who kept the ranks nice and neat and wouldn't allow slip ups or insubordination. They initiated a rigorous training program for the two fair maidens who did their best to bear up under the strain. They were put to multi-tasking... a skill not so easily acquired but for patience and perseverance. Their muscles burned and their legs ached but still the training went on. Soon, after much sweat, blood and tears, they began to inch their way out of the dire situation into which they had placed themselves. The battle was over, but the war was just beginning!
