"I'd Rather Be Gardening"

I just can't find the get up and go.  After a brief morning swim I spent most of the day pruning shrubs, and pulling weeds.  I'm pretty okay with that, although I'm sure my fitness is slipping.  To compound that I'm not eating very well and the bathroom scales are complaining about that.  I'm not quite so okay with that, but I will try to be gentle with myself.

I think it's important that I am tolerant because it's definitely a mental problem, and as such beating myself up is not going to help.  Besides, the flower beds are enjoying the attention.

(swim 30 mins, computrainer 30 mins)

"Everything that slows us down and forces patience, everything that sets us back into the slow circles of nature, is a help. Gardening is an instrument of grace."---Mary Sarton
