Starting to Feel It

I think I'm starting to feel some of the benefits of losing the weight. It's a bit easier to bend when I'm picking something up from the floor, or accessing a low cabinet, and my feet seem to be less sore in the evening.
Bread talk
Starting today, I'm putting the bread discussions under their own header. That way, folks who are interested can find it more easily, and folks who are not interested can more easily avoid it.

Last night I increased the 7 grain mix and decreased the flour in the bread recipe. It's now 3/4c 7 grain mix to 1-1/4c of flour. It seems to have come out fine. I'll update this once it has cooled enough to be sliced. Update: It's good. It has a nice even crumb and is very moist.

I added the water and salt to the ingredients list for my bread, in case anyone wants to try creating some themselves. I'm baking this in a Breadman Ultimate using the 1 pound whole wheat setting.
