 I went out this weekend for a hike and got robbed of six pounds.. I about fainted when I read the scales. I am right now five pounds heavier than I was when I was 21 years old. Now if I can just retreat to where I was in the 9th grade it will be excellent. I was a bit on the skinny side in those days..lol.. it is worth the very sore legs and back.. I got to go do this more if it will just keep dry long enough..

Those pounds must have liberated themselves to the wild while you were out there. Congrats!

 i swear i lost every pound of it off my feet lol.. I have not been this sore in a while.. Even my buddy Larry who is in much better shape was *****ing about how bad he felt.. Larry never says that sort of thing.. At least I can climb the stairs like a hobbled old man. I just wish this rain would get on out for a little while so i can hike some more or even better go fishing.

I think the best part of those 6 pounds being gone is that you lost them doing something you seem to love to do.  Keep up the hiking and let those pounds just keep falling off on the mountains
