When I got home I put it together which was so easy to do!!! I planted my salad green lettuce seeds in one and red heirloom tomatoes in the other. The salad greens were due to begin to grow between 1 and 3 days and I can see the sprouts already! I find the sound of the water lightly trickling to be very peaceful like the sound of a small stream or one of those inside rock and water fountains that were so popular not to long ago. I can not wait to taste what I have grown. I have to wait just 3 short weeks for lettuce & 3 months for tomatoes but I'm good with that! Imagine salads with no pesticides! Just fresh off the vine! Growing up in New York City, I have never had the pleasure of picking a tomato off the vine and eating it and now I will! I can't wait!...

I have too many Billy Blanks and Taebo DVDs to count and while I love them I was looking for a work out video that included some weight lifting because I read that lifting moderate weights increases your metabolism thereby helping to increase the amount of calories burned during the day. And that increased muscle mass helps lose weight much faster when the body is at rest. I have watched Jillian Michaels on the Biggest Loser for several seasons now and was eager to see if she kicks butt for the home viewer on her DVD and boy does she deliver! The beginner level is so hard! I was so winded the first time I tried it but I kept with it and boy do I look great! It is definitely a program that you can stick with for a while and not get bored because you are trying so hard to keep up with her! I thisnk her system of circuit training is the key. You do a little cardio then weights then back and forth never letting your body get to used to doing......
