I'm about half way done with the Couch to 5 k program! I have been working out faithfully for about 6 weeks now and taking Belle on long walks as much as my schedule will allow. As a result, I have lost 6 pounds! Yahoo!!!
I have also been writing somewhat consitently in my journal blog. It is a great outlet for me and right now Brian and I are deciding if we want to make the blog open to invited readers. It was meant to be a private place for me to record my thoughts and feelings. But, now as we continue on our journey, I'm using it as a place to record updates on testing and doctor's appointments. It's not something that I would want the world to view, but would be comfortable enough for select family and friends to read.

Raised Garden Boxes....Check!
I had a week off in Janaury. So, I decided to make it a productive week. My parent's had some old redwood boards from a deck that they had ripped out. My dad offered to make them into garden boxes for us.
The first step was to level the side yard. It was a mess of dried weeds and very uneven soil. My dad brought over his rootertiller and broke ground.
The next step was to level the ground. We have had some drainage issues in the backyard due to the higher level of the side yard. So, we moved a lot of dirt away from the house.
We built the boxes
Set the boxes in place and filled with dirt. I can't wait to start planting once the weather warms up a bit.
