it was just coincidence that my last post ended on hope street.
it ended because i actually got a wild hair and decided to plant earth boxes two weeks ago. they are pretty cool little boxes but after spending $300 on four boxes, the dirt and plants, the idea of taking daily care of these few plants seemed silly.
if i am going to dedicate time to watering, weeding, planting, etc., i want to maximize my time commitment. so then i got a novel idea and thought... what if i plant a garden in the back of my yard? since i only ever step foot in my backyard about once a year, just to make sure the sprinklers are hitting all the dead spots, i figured why do i care what it looks like. i never go back there anyway so lets just plant a garden where we have our dead grass.
there was not enough room between our house and our retaining wall to plant anything so i decided if people can tier their layers for patio lounging, i could tier my layer for a garden. but that would require moving a lot of dirt, since the hill goes straight up by our house. well if we are going to move that much dirt we might as well maximize the effort...
well, a garden turned into building a greenhouse and after removing 9 huge truckloads of dirt, the earth was moved. so that is what i've been doing for the last two weeks. i am so obsessive compulsive!
i haven't exercised, and frankly, all i've done is focused on understanding and creating the best environment to grow yummy, healthy, delicious food...part of my overall lifestyle change. so i haven't given up!
i weigh about 207 and iwas down to 204 last week. i didn't make my goal of being under 200 for my 41st birthday, but i'm still dedicated to losing at least five more.
