Although I've hit a plateau, I'm not complaining. I haven't felt this good in a long time! I'm down 19.4 pounds since surgery. And only about a 1/2 pound more and I'll only be overweight instead of obese!
My knees are killing me though. I signed up for a 5k at the end of the month so have been attempting to jog in addition to walking. I bought new shoes that are very lightweight and flexible, but are using muscles I didn't know I had. I've been warned to break in these shoes very gradually, so I guess I'll heed the warning and wear my other shoes most of the time.
In other news, my peas are up and doing well, the radishes have appeared, and my assorted lettuces are barely showing above the dirt. My asparagus didn't come up at all (what's up with that?), but the rhubarb is big enough to harvest. The chives are already blossoming, which means I need to harvest them, chop them up, and freeze.
New to my garden this year is yellow squash and kohlrabi. The cucumbers are too small to plant outside yet, but I've got several tomatoes in containers. I may have put them out too early though - the temps here are crazy, with highs in the low 60s and lows in the 40s. And the rain! Everything is really green, but we could use a couple days of sunshine to dry us out!
