Today's Stats:
Breakfast
I remember that we had bacon for breakfast this morning, instead of ham, surprisingly, even though we still have ham (lots of it). Other than that, I don't remember much about breakfast except that she ate well, and, I gave her lisinopril.
Dinner
She did have a lunch of sorts. Midway between breakfast and dinner I gave her a 3.5 oz bag of microwave popcorn, V-8 juice and cinnamon, but no pills and no stats were taken. She ate heartily at dinner. We had an exercise session, today, which I haven't entered. As well, I had some groceries to pick up for our trip, and she got some walkering in early this evening before dinner.
