Fresh Figs

Yesterday, the first of our figs were ready to eat. They are quite good.

My weight was down fractionally again this morning. Yes, yes, I know that weight can vary a pound or more just by drinking a glass of water or, well, un-drinking a glass of water. One thing Carol stressed with me was that it helps to keep a positive attitude. Celebrate the gains, no matter how small, and don't dwell on the setbacks.

I varied the bread recipe, increasing the ratio of whole-wheat flour to white flour.

I'm behind on my homework from Carol. I'm supposed to be researching which foods are rich in magnesium. I see her again tomorrow, so I'd better get busy.
