Unexpected but hoped for benefits of gardening.

Whenever I start anything with a physical component to it, I always hope that I'll gain muscle, increase my metabolism because of it and finally lose size. I could care less about the # on the scales. It's overall size, endurance and health benefits I'm looking for. I'm so far beyond wanting to catch a man and my husband would never want to be caught anyway.

But I digress.. LOL. This morning I put on a pair of pants that I haven't been able to wear for 9 years! I'm maybe 1 or 2 pounds from really enjoying the fit of these pants. But 6 months ago I couldn't even pull them up over my hips.

Sadly, my pile of dirt I've been carrying around the yard, all 9,800 pounds of it is almost gone. I need another pile of dirt delivered but I'm broke!

I loved your posting... maybe you should consider taking out a loan!! Under other circumstances I would never utter those words, but it sounds like you have been having fun and shaping up too, which is better than paying a monthly spa fee.

Have fun and enjoy gardening,

Judy

If my cards weren't all maxed out, I'd do just that :)
