Just started getting back in shape a couple weeks ago, plan on really stepping it up in the next week. I have been popping in my hunting videos and been running 2 miles every day on the treadmill and also been lifting weights. By Sept I should be in kick @ss shape. Today I'm gonna hit up the archery ranges walk through course with about a 30-40lbs in my pack.  Also started a diet....can't wait for hunting season.

Met with the  back surgeon  and he is pleased with my results- bone grafts are slolid and all screws tight.

follow up Physical Therapy for the knee replacement is going on week 4-  Three times per week PT for 2 hours + each is paying off. Strength and more important range of motion is improving.

I weighed 196 this AM- haven't seen that since the early 80's but a lot of the loss is muscle mass so we working on the ' we can make him stronger' equation. 

Staying optimistic and drew my CO ELK tag for archery in mid Sep.  Right now thinking about stepping over deadfalls is foreboding as I just got back to walking two miles earlier this week.
