Backcountry Fitness Challenge 2008 Check-in

Well with the grandkids here I haven't been able to diet. But I have walked pretty consitantly. I am doing fine. Not sure
about the weight loss but know I have lost some. Will get better over the coming weeks.

I made a C effort with sticking with the plan. I ate ok!!! Only worked out twice though...

Well the only part of my plan that I have been able to stick to this week was my
walking. I have increased my miles some what. It will get better. Going out right
now. Going to be a hot day!

Walking 2 - 6 miles everyday with one day off, sat and or sun is a 10-12 miler. Staying on target with my eating and watching the fat, chlest. and red meat intake. Just got back from a 13miler yea one blister so large on the side of my heal that I am scared to pop the sucker lol. But the weight keeps on falling off.

Jay did good this week. Yay for Jay!

I have stayed on the diet for the most part but the exercise has tapered off with the heat and reoccuring heal spurs. C effort at best.

week 2 I stayed on the plan, but plain chicken is getting really old. Also started doing more running.

Lew is not on course!!!! C effort again!!!

Watching the diet, but not getting into the gym as much as I'd like.

Well it looks like I may be leveling out on weight loss lol. But despite a slight injury, I still managed to run about 20 miles this week and keep up with my diet. Not as big of a weight loss as I had been having but still a loss from 233 at my start to 224 for 3 weeks I feel is still great. I can really feel the difference so I guess thats the main thing. lol.

Congratulations on the weight loss. I made it to the gym 3 days this past week. Had some good workouts. I've been on the road since Friday, so I haven't been able to get a chance to get on the scales, but I feel like I've lost some. Diet is the hard thing while on the road.

Well this hasn't been a good week for me. I only have gotten in a few walks. I have been in Ft. Smith
at a band director convention from Wed. to Fri. at noon. I got one pretty good walk in there from the
down town Holiday Inn to Judge Parkers court. That was a neat walk. I had tree dizzy spells on Fri.
that I feel was from being dehydrated. All seems fine now. As far a diet, what diet? I have to get back
on it this week. I did walk (march) a parade with my students Sat. morning here in Dierks and didn't pass
out, I guess that counts a exercise! I don't know what my weight loss is at this time, the scales are at
the school. The wife says that I have lost some of my mid section so I guess that I am trimming up. Any
way it is now time to get serious.

Just checked the scales. I have lost a total of 6 lbs. since I started. Being that when we actually started this I had gained a pound. So I started at 256 instead of 255. No real diet as of yet, mainly cutting back and walking. I can't run like alot of you guys due to my knee replacement. I am down to 250. Will really get serious now.

I failed this week. I was traveling and didn't stick to my plan. No point for me.

diet still going strong. Missed one day working out, but made it up today.

Lew hit his plan this week!!!
