Gardening Great Exercise

Maybe I should say that gardening my way can be great exercise. I worked yesterday outside in the yard and tilled up parts of my garden. Now tilling is hard work. I have just a small tiller because I really don't need more, but you have to fight with that thing to get it to go down the row and not straight down in the ground. So I tilled up three beds. I also pulled a million weeds, there are still ten million left. Oh, yea I planted three bushes.

I was in and out all day doing outside work and I have burned up 2800 calories by dark. That is a lot for me. Of course I was starving all night. I ate too much. But my muscles are not as sore this weekend as it was last weekend after just planting two trees. During the week I planted the other two trees. They are not big trees. They were in 5 gallon containers. The trees look really nice so far.

It showered a little bit during my work, but I just kept on going doing a little mowing before it began to shower. I feel like I have really accomplished a lot and when I get back from my little two day trip I will plant some flower and vegetable seeds on Monday.

I am going to try to eat more controled the next two days and on Monday I will weigh and see what the result of all of this work is. I would like to lose 10 pounds in April.

Have a good Easter. Don't eat too many candy eggs. Quiltblue
