Wooohoo!!! Welcome back.

That story explains the tracking map. I was looking and couldn't quite figure out what you were doing.

Hey everyone... I posted a video in the Mt. Washington thread over on my forum showing how windy it was during the night in our tent.

I just updated the blog with some post-trip commentary. If you haven't already done so and would like to, please be sure to donate to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society using the link provided in the blog.

Thanks everyone.

Post-Trip Commentary «

Hi ya Steve.

Whelp, I've not seen a change yet with the experiment exercises.

LOL

I'm still going to do them though bc it makes me feel like they 'may' work..
HeeHee...

I hope your week is going great!



Stacy

I'm not much surprised but if you keep dieting... the fat will eventually go away. And if you're still doing the exercises... you can say 'they worked.'



Thanks for unburying my journal.

Good morning Steve!

I hope you have a nice day today!

Have you warmed up from the trip yet

I have. And I'm only going to get warmer this weekend when temps reach near 70! Can't wait.

Nothing new to report. Just training and watching the economy crumble. Same old.

Exercise in the cool breeze is very enjoyable.

Hi ya Steve! Welcome back and hope you are having a relaxing/fun/productive (choose one or all) weekend!

Thanks Beth, and backatcha!

This weekend has been very enjoyable which is great after a very stressful week. Friday I did some reading and research.

Saturday I split wood with my father all morning until it was time for me to watch my little nephew. I needed a little innocence in my life so it was a great time. We went hiking/exploring, rode the tractor all around the property (I would control the gas and he would steer), played lacrosse, build a big fire, put fishing waders on and walked all around the stream, on and on.

It was a blast. He loves coming here b/c he lives in a somewhat urban area. He's 3.

Today I'm up early to go pick up the wood my dad and I split and bring it to my house to stack. Then I'll most likely do some yard work with Krista and take it easy the rest of the night.

I've really been maintaining my journal over on my forum and this has become something like a neglected child. I feel bad. I'm going to try and update here more often again as I still have friends here.

Plus, it would be a pity to let this monster die, lol.

Training has been great as of late. I'm currently working on adding some muscle and strength back on. I lost a good bit training for my mountaineering trip last month.

Yesterday was a lower body strength day which included:

A1 - Box Squats 4x4
B1 - Speed Deadlifts 8x2
C1 - DB Walking Lunges 3x8
D1 - Reverse Crunches 3x12
D2 - Planks
E1 - DB Hammer Curls 3x12

This was preceded by a bunch of foam rolling work and some mobility stuff.

Mobility stuff as in hip stuff?

Some. Some had to do with the shoulder complex.

Things like birddogs, wall slides, YTLWs, scap pushups, etc.

Hope your day was a good one, Mr. Troutman

Hey I know you.



Thanks Mo.
