After a week of hiking and eating heavy meals I came back 6 pounds lighter!

Now if I can keep it up....

 

Glad to see all the enthusiasm. Tomorrow is the big kick-off for me.

 

Great work out and great cause. Good for you.

 

Where were you hiking?

 

Glad to see you are joining us, Jim.

 

And we're off!!!

The morning weigh in was not quite as bad as I feared; 164.5. I'm up about six pounds from my low earlier this spring/summer. My initial goal is to lose about 10 pounds. Today I had a nice seared ahi tuna salad for lunch. I hope that holds me over until dinner. I hope to get on the treadmill and put in an hour of time, even if I am not going very fast. I'll need to work my way back up to 4.5 miles a night, but I hope to hit 3.5 today. Then I'd like to do some lifting, but probably only one set of exercises. I think I'll list the exercises, wieghts used and number of reps and sets as I go along. The idea is to make myself more consistent by being more accountable.

I hope you are all doing well on your respective plans/programs and lifestyles. Please share what you are doing.

 

In the Alps nears Zermatt, Switzerland.

 

Now that's some quality hiking!

 

I stalled it out in the starting gate.
I've had the flu all weekend which is not conducive to a good work out at all.

 

Geesh, Jerry. You can't catch a break!
