I'm trying to narrow down my areas to about 3 or 4 perfect spots depending on the winds and time of the rut that will produce year in and year out. In other words....luck doesn't happen: it's a collision of preparation and opportunity.

Just submitted my permit hunt applications and doble checked with the manager of the property we access in New Mexico to confirm our hunt there.
Winter weight got totally out of hand this year, I have my work cut out for me.

I've been doing a lot of walking but have been restricted for 3 months from anything that might loosen the bone grafts- lifting, twisting, bending .... I have 6 weeks of rehab PT scheduled for the knee and a month or so additional to finish up getting ready for Colorado ELK camp at 8500'. Assuming the unit draw comes through. ;)
I'll be out somewhere in any case. 8)

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.

Diet wise, no refined sugars, very little bread, and whiskey instead of beer seems to help you lean up.
Get rid of your sweetened coffee creamer if you can, no jam, no "kids" peanut butter, no jam or jelly, NO white breads, no fatty meats like bacon or sausage, NO mayonaise, no fries, burgers have to be elk or deer, and apparently not much fun either after reading that. I sound like a flippin' diet Nazi. The UPSIDE, you can eat anything you want as much as you want as long as it is a real food without additives like butter, bbq sauce, or ketchup (too much sugar). Meat, vegetable, fruit. Eat all you want.

Post by: flyguide on May 19, 2010, 06:50:31 PM
I would love to do a 50k but have a hard time fitting in training for anything more than a half marathon right now. How many miles will you stretch yourself out to before the race?
I will do a handful of 20 milers, not that many. I think the biggest mistake people (myself mainly) is trying to rely on pavement mileage. You absolutely HAVE to run 4-6 days per week of 3-5 miles a day simply to toughen and train the ligaments and tendons in your feet and knees. I was running a lot more mileage but always seemed to come down with nagging injuries. I started cutting back the mileage a litte, and I do ton of trail running now with a lot of elevation gain combined with pushups, abs, pull ups, bunny hops, lunges, empty squats (high rep, no weight), and I think my legs are in better shape than when I was doing higher mileage. You can turn a 3 mile run into the equivalent of a 6 miler pretty fast by doing a bunch of sets up push ups, squats, and lunges in the middle. I think it is better to do "lifting" type stuff prior to cardio work though if I remember correctly. I seem to remember a guru stating that somewhere.
Truthfully, another thing that is helping me is doing the P90X - YogaX That has cut down my injuries and my stride feels a lot faster and smoother. I have only done it a few times but I can already tell that I am moving better on the mountain near my house.

Ok, I thought I'd post an update. I'm down 11 pounds now into the middle of my fourth week. I've been religiously bringing my meals with me to work everyday instead of eating out, been eating 5-6 meals a day, and doing cardio every other day. I've been slacking on my weight training but I start that tonight right after I log off Huntwa. I bought a Weider home gym from a coworker for a hundred bucks. Oh, and I also still haven't touched a soda since I started!
Awesome!!! I have not cheated on this diet once in 12 days, which for me is outstanding!! I haven't even had the urge and no hungry pains!!

Just like crossfit itself... Follow the WOD or weed through the stuff you want for "Sports Specific" training... Think they say to only do their higher capacity work outs 3-4 times a week...
I followed it for a bit, and got down in the low 11 min 2 mile range, and low 18 min 3 mile range.... And then I got the blasted shin splits... Good Stuff, If you ever get access to a row machine, try one of their rowing work outs... INTENSE!
They have a reference chart on the lower left hand side of the screen to see what the various abbreviations mean....

In my opinion the Elliptical is one of the most useless cardio machines on the market. The only time I would think about using one is if all other types of cardio machines hurt my body or I was using it for a brief rehab.

my wife used an elliptical for a while and we still have it. She got bad shin splints from running on the pavement or our treadmill. The eliptical helps a lot. Not sure why you think it's useless...that thing will kick your ass if you let it or try hard enough. I use it occasionally.If I get on the elliptical I do legs only and have to crank that thing up and go forever. It is a great machine for Women!!!!!!!!!If you want a workout then hop your butt on a versa climber and then come talk with me.Good luck.
WDFW-SUX and I did an 8 mile round tripper today...it was a great walk.

Well, to be fair... it wasn't his fault. I was being lazy and sitting on a 5 gallon bucket while he pitched. It was a good pitch, I missed it.
The 5 gallon bucket makes more sense. I didn't see your old Infantry knees being able to squat like a catcher for longer than about .5 seconds :chuckle:

Keep it up Machias and Carpsniper!!!! I am in the middle of my sixth week and am down 15 pounds. My coworkers were really razzing me today trying to get me to cave in and eat some junk food but it wouldn't work. I am feeling fricking awesome.
Nice job!

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.

I gotta admit, I treated myself to a Big Mac combo with fries and an iced tea yesterday (still haven't touched a soda since I started). I gotta yell ya it was the best damn Big Mac I've ever eaten! :chuckle:
Yeah, I suck too. Had seconds on homemade icecream yesterday...:spank_butt:
But I ran 3 miles this morning to get rid of it... :tup:

Actually I am eating between 1400 and 1500 calories a day, I am never hungry. I'm telling you if you follow the Nutrisystem diet the weight falls off. I just dropped below 100 pounds to go so I will be cutting out two carbs and a fruit and eating about 1200 to 1300 calories a day. I love this diet, it is so easy to follow and the food tastes really good. My wife is on it and she's lost 14+ pounds.

One of the things it really has shown me is portion control. My daily fat intake is supposed to be along the lines of one teaspoon of peanut butter or 10 peanuts. :yike: I used to eat a bag of chocolate covered peanuts for snack!!! My nemisis is chocolate, but I get two deserts a day and the Nutrisystem chocolates are excellent, no choc cravings!! So far the only thing I really miss is fried chicken...but the results are really pretty amazing and LOTS of people are walking up going holy chit man how much weight have you dropped! :IBCOOL:

Things are crap on my front.... I not only broke my toe 2 weeks ago, I took a nice little nose dive off my bike a week ago and my right shoulder is F'd up.... I am pretty worried, gonna give it a few more days to see if it starts to improve, then it'll be off to the ortho to see what is going on!?! I am not optimistic. :dunno:
Congrats to you though....man... imagine how easy the hills are going to be for you this year.

there are two things i tend to respect in a person above almost anything else, when someone quits smoking and when someone decides to drop weight and get in shape. way to go chias. keep it up.
Post by: Recurve-Elk on July 09, 2010, 07:59:27 AM
As far as me, I have just been shooting my recurve, trying to get my groups as tight as possible.
As far as conditioning goes, I am already in pretty good shape coming off this last track and field season, but I lift weights three days a week just to stay strong.
As far as planning, I am just looking at maps, maps, and more maps. Hopefully ill be up scouting here pretty soon.

I ran the Grey Rock Ultra 50k today in the Autanumn - 2nd Place! 6000 feet of elevation gain/loss on tough trails. 5 hours and 26 minutes, the course topped out at about 6,200 feet. It was rough, very rocky trails. I am in some pain, but it makes traveling 5-10 miles feel like a snap. 58 days till elk season by my count.Wow, man, that's cool. Nice job!

Fred - outstanding
carpsniper - also outstanding.
Me - relapsed - hitting a stumbling block and put a few pounds back on. Although - no beer for two weeks and sticking to the diet should get me back on track.

thanks whacker. i can't say i have not had a few treats along the way :rolleyes: :chuckle: but my diet is a bit diffrent then most. it is a home made style of atkins diet that i have made up myself. if i was not sitting in a tractor so much and could be out yote hunting or scouting i would be losing more but am happy what i have done and want to get to 50lbs down then i will be very very happy. keep at it bud and you will be sprinting up those hills this fall :IBCOOL:
you obviously haven't seen me spring :chuckle:
my diet consists of losing 5 lbs monday through friday and putting 4 - 4 1/2 lbs back on during a weekend. But I am staying home this weekend and will be without beer, so we will see if I can make it without putting the weight back on.

I'm hanging around 192 but much stronger, PT twice a week for two hours + now and increasing weights and reps. the knee is pretty strong and pain free during the day, still aches at night as does the back fusion. Lifted a a 60 # sack of Quickcrete last week and I was reminded i had not lifted much for 5 months.
