My refrigerator has become a veritable garden. Yesterday I looked inside and realized I had apples, oranges, grapes, strawberries, tomatoes, olives, chipotle peppers, and onions. Last week I also had blueberries, apricots, and lettuce. I have no processed meats and the only drink is orange juice.

I think I've discovered why I'm losing weight. I had miscalculated how many carbs I was getting at supper. It turns out I had misremembered the carbs for certain fruits and vegetables. Apparently, I was getting more carbs from my tablespoonful of salad dressing than from my entire spinach-and-tomato salad. And I wasn't getting nearly enough carbs from my one cup of strawberries. It turns out, I had to have two cups of strawberries and a cup of grapes to get the carbs I needed (to go with my lemon pepper fish). I felt really full when I finished eating last night! And I must say, I never would have eaten that much "sweet" food if it hadn't been on my diet!

I was asked to be the sponsor for the Freshman Class by the Freshman Class Council of Student Government. About 75% of the council are my students this semester, or were last semester. I accepted. I don't really have to do anything but hang out at their meetings sometimes and advise them. Yay me!
