Hooray for Yard Work! Woot!

Sounds crazy, doesn't it?

I've had a couple half days off work and have been breaking my butt the past five days doing spring clean up. Tons of raking, mowing, pulling out vines, cutting down scrap vegetation, chopping out huge piles of stuff to burn, cleaning the tree line, cleaning up raised garden beds, tilling. Doing stuff i've wanted to do for years:)

It really feels amazing to work outside for most of the day and not be out of breath after half an hour. I never thought I'd get back to this level of stamina or energy. It's amazing to me, and I am LOVING it!

And ON TOP of the very cool reality that I'm gonna have a veggie garden and awesome herb garden this year (and a super tidy gorgeous yard)....this little spurt of added exercise has kicked my metabolism into gear and i've lost 10 pounds in the last month.....which is pretty darned cool given that the previous two months had slowed down to 5-6 pound losses.

Yard work isn't generally something people write home about and enjoy.......but this year, it couldn't be more welcome:)

I love being outside in our yard, we have planted a garden already for this year. I don't like the weed pulling (my hubby will do that for us) but everything else I love and looking at the accomplishments afterwards. Spring is the best, just cool enough to work outside. Keep up the good work, you are doing amazing!
