Garden

I finally (!) finished putzing around with my garden today. This morning, I put up chicken wire. By the way, is it me or is putting up chicken wire really a two person job? I ended up doing a lot of digging and a lot of cussing over getting the wire sunk in far enough. In the afternoon, I planted. I ended up not using very many of the seeds I bought. I went to the garden store by CVS and got tomato plants, two kinds of pepper (poblano and cayenne), and eggplant. I also planted a few of the carrot seeds. I'm going to see if I can hang onto the seeds that I now have until next year.

Oh...and I didn't go for my walk today. I took a much needed break.

By the way, getting the pepper plants was my way of sucking up to doomsey so he won't seed over my garden in the fall.

Ten Pounds Down!

Yay! I've succeeded in losing ten pounds already. Well, actually, it's more like twelve, but whatever. Really, it wasn't that hard. All I did was cut out snacks, ate a smaller lunch, and walked two to three-and-a-half miles a day. doomsey's suggestion was also really helpful. He lost a lot of weight in the past year, and he didn't have to count calories to do it. He just weighed himself every day at the same time. That must have been a great source of motivation for him. He said that he knew right away whether he was eating too much or not and he could adjust his diet accordingly.
