I seriously need to lose some flab around my middle, and it isn't going to go away simply because I want it gone. I have to do something. I went for another walk today, a hike really, to look for mulberries. It was rough going (for me) and I'm happy to say that I didn't fall down! And found a few berries.

I like to eat fresh food when I can, and there are a few edibles growing around me, wild! Blackberries (I prefer the mulberries) and Morel mushrooms are what I hunt. I grow asparagus and rhubarb.

Because I was weak and hot when I got back from the hike, I needed something to cool me off. I have in front of me a bottle of cold water and a plate of: half an orange, 2 raw asparagus sticks, 5 cubes of cojack cheese, and a small handful of Veggie Straws (made by Sensible Portions). A nice, cool snack! And not too fattening (the cheese is the worst thing on the plate).

And I feel refreshed already!
