Weights and Cardio 5 days a week and have not touched any Alchohol in 6 weeks. Gonna join a Cross fit program in July to really set it off for the high country. It is amazing how my body has reacted to no alchohol, I have noticed more lean muscle and lost 6lbs from my mid section. Not gonna have a drink till the Montana bull hits the ground. 17 years of drinking and stopped cold turkey with no cravings or side effects. Just a "elkaholic" now.   Bring it!

As a matter of fact, after getting to an all time high of 215 lbs over the winter I bought a treadmill and started watching what I eat, mainly not eating fastfood. Since buying the mill on Mar 3rd and barely being able to run a half mile, I'm now running 3 to 6 miles 5 days a week and I've dropped 27 lbs. with about 15 to 20 to go. Heading to Alaska in 2 weeks for my summer job where I always lose about 10 pounds. Bring on elk season. :chuckle:

Started running, biking, and packing this week, after what seemed to be the longest drawn out winter.  Needless to say, I'm on the couch in pain today!!!!  15 weeks to go... Bring it on!

i wish we would have got video of us packing buckluckys bull out, the hill he shot it on was so steep i had to go on all fours to power through a big patch of tag alder. but at least he didn't die in the very bottom because that extra 10' might have killed us  :chuckle:

That is an awesome video but I have to say I think I prefer the pack that Ross had with his bull  ;)

I am getting there.  I quit drinking all pop 3 weeks ago and have been running 3 times a week and hitting the gym.  Trying to go hard if my right knee hangs in there this year.

I usually am in good shape. But this year i have put on about 10 lbs. I cant find the energy to get motivated after 11 hours of work a day then the rest of the hustle and bustle. What do you take for energy or to get motivated????
