Week One Done, Semi-Plants, and Anxiously Awaiting This Semester's End

I finished week one of Jillian Michael's Ripped in 30.  Woohoo!  Tomorrow I'll start on the week two workout.  I'm crossing my fingers that it doesn't completely kick my butt.  I will also weigh-in tomorrow to see if I've lost anything whatsoever.  Honestly, it really doesn't feel like it.  For the most part, I've been eating pretty well.  Although, in the mornings at school, Josh and I have monster breakfast burritos and I could probably stand to cut back on cheesy meals (like those pizzas-although, the first of the week had artichokes and zucchini and the second had spinach and avocado, thank you very much).  But, almost as important as losing the pounds, I feel really great (and sore, that means it's working).  After about day three, I didn't want to workout any of the other days, but I found after I did, I felt great.

In other news, my garden seems to have semi-plants instead of mere sprouts!  It's getting pretty legit out there, I'm pretty happy about it.  Here are some updated photos:

Also, some creature (probably the adorable kitty I see walking around sometimes) thought it was a great idea to walk through the middle of my garden...not a good idea, kitty.  You can see some prints if you look closely.  I spread some coffee grounds out there in hopes of keeping him or her away.  Thank goodness she/he didn't think it was a litter box, I would've been considerably more upset about it.

Gnelson was obviously sleeping on the job when this happened.

Poor Prometheus Parsley took a hit from the heavy walker
(as well as the wind we've been getting lately).

And lastly, this semester will finally come to a close in less than a month!  I am beyond excited to have a little time off (a very little time off, Josh and I are taking a summer class).  I've made my final to-do list of the semester and am slowly marking things off (which I will continue to work on after this post...boo!).  I've got a research paper to edit extensively, a giant project yet to be started, two final essays to write, and three finals to study for.  Time to get to work!
