Aside from getting in shape and dialing the bow in I have been bugling in the car to and from work - Sometimes I actually record myself so I can hear how bad I REALLY sound. I have been thru 17 mouth reeds since december.

Joined a gym, YMCA in Sammamish, just need to go more often. changed the diet and am down 10 pounds. Need to drop another 25 to feel good out there.

Anyone in the area looking to work out and need someone to keep them motivated pm me. I could use the help as well.

After leaving the Army some 10 years ago my exercise level really dropped.

Started the biggest loser with 5 friends yesterday.  All weighed in and laid $100 on the barrel, winner take all.

Good bye candy bars, ice cream and most of the booze (maybe one drink on the weekend), guess I have to admit to those vices all being not too big a loss.

Tomorrow starts the treadmill and some weights.

Man, next year I'm not doing the winter weight yo yo :rolleyes:

Ordered a new backpack yesterday and started getting the gear ready.  Also put my 3 month old daughter in the BOB and went for a father/daughter run.

11.5 miles on saturday on the bike, 8.2 miles last night on the bike, gonna try and stick to it every other day...willpower willpower willpower.......definitely my biggest challenge, well that and maple bars.
a steep uphill walk for a couple hours friday morning, working on the diet big time with the wife. Gonna try and stick to a good hike a week this year...maybe see how many times I can make it to the top of Mt. Si this summer.
I realized this morning I need to kick the bagel and cream cheese every morning habit...being a former new yorker, it's gonna be harder than kicking the cigarette habit was 3 years ago I think.

I'm doing 4.2 miles every other day right now.  In about a week or so I will add a small back pack and increase a mile.  I have NOT cheated once in 10 days on the Nutrisystem (that is REALLY good for me!!).  I've dropped at least 14 pounds so far, I have not weighed in since Friday, but my waist has already lost an inch and a half!!   :IBCOOL: :IBCOOL:  LONG way to go but I am soooo determined!!

That is awesome Fred.  If you need more challenge - try adding a trailer and weight that way.  It works good for short bike rides, as backpacks aren't horribly comfortable when riding bikes.

I'm hunting Taliban everyday in 100 degree heat.  Besides that I'm doing crossfit 3 days a week and lifting wieghts.  I'm making sure that if I fall short this year it won't be because I'm out of shape.

I'm not on the bike yet, I'm doing the 4.2 miles walking at as fast a pace as I can handle.  Actually I'm going to ride my bike to work Thursday and maybe Friday.  :)
