LOL

So how did we do last week? I am going to try to keep a tally on who doesnt report so we can rip them!!!!! Just kidding. My week was not so stellar as the week before. Monday off just did chores Tuesday Hit Lake for 45 minute swim then 30 minute trail run (jumped Javi heard) Wed Did push up pull up plank sesion 3 sets then watched movie on the exercise ball for core workout Thursday Ran 3 miler Friday off Saturday 3 miler Sunday chores and roundpen mules trimmed feet Monday "will do 3 miler with pushup pullup plank" Tomorrow headed for Lake

NASCAR brings back memories. Me and my dad were working on an old vet in the garage on weekends and had NASCAR on TV all day. Didn't watch much but that sound takes me back. Kinda like hearing Vince skully talk baseball.

Oh family guy I do miss that one. You will begin to forget about them all. Then you will start to notice the folks who do nothing else since you won't be able to have a conversation with them. Pretty soon you will be doing hobbies and chores like in the old days and you will lose track of time. I just came in from working the mules and I use nightfall as my timer lol. Shower and movie with family then in the sack.

Well I found my first elk shed guys and gals, only issue was it was 7 miles from the truck and I was packing a load. I thought of leaving it several times but got it out.

Anything on 24 st and camelback. Tarbels I believe is on camelback and 28 st. Awesome steaks. The guy that owns it won iron chef in Japan and is wine critic in az republic. Mark tarbel . also eddy matneys may still be there. Right now no place will turn kids away even black tie.

Where are you located?

Haaaaaha

Since you did your set at the local sun city golf course it was most likley a pomeranian or a house cat following you!!!! Maybe a 86 year old cougar. LOL That moon was awesome for sure, I was able to follow a lightly used trail with no headlight for several miles.

Mailman dropped all our tags last night very happy all over again. 24 and 22 here we come.

Great post thanks for sharing

Better for ya salad dressing 3 tblsp olive oil (i just pour some in bowl by eye) good pinch salt (Kosher course grade) good pinch pepper (fresh ground always) heap of Grey Poupon dejon mustard couple dashes of red wine or other vinegar Wisk it up for a bit and your set. I do most items by eye and feel so I am guessing some on amount

Anyone see these guys yet? I am very interested.

Wards, Just to add to the muscle mass, I was also thinking of residual burn, from what I was taught if you do some sort of cardio workout like jogging on tread mill the calorie burn all but stops once you step off the tread mill but if you lift weights the calorie burn keeps going up to 7 hours after your workout. Do you know this to be true?

Thanks for the IMR 4831 nice meeting you, good luck on that tag.

Humus easy and great snack crave blocker 2 cans garbonzo beans / chic peas drained 1 container tahini (trader joes) 1 Jar roasted red peppers salt pepper 1/4 cup olive oil 1/4 jar of Jalepenos or fresh My favorite is homemade pita chips, just toast cut up pits bread in oven and dip. Veggies are good to dip crackers

Too right, like I said I glassed a bear day 1 then had one cross my path while night hiking. dang bears.

The way I do it is mount level on rail to level gun and action then put a builders level on the block wall in back yard then mount scope and also scope level and level cross hairs to the level on the wall keeping all levels true X3. Make any sense? Maybe I need one more level. LOL

I have a special spot on a shelf in the man cave where all my books and maps go. Tags go under the cam hanes back country book for good luck. I also print extra licenses and put one in each envelope for each applicant and put both in sandwich bag.

Man 22 dec would be nice to have. I am working a 22 early for a buddy.

Stir fry is a big fall back for us. Chicken fresh veggies and some rice. Home made soup lasts for days as well. I like to just grill all kinds of veggies and put in bags for snacks. A little grocery trick is shop on the outside of the store only stay away from the middle. Think that one over

I would say yes but is that the race where you get mud in your shoes? I hate that. Congratulations on your hard work paying off. It gets addicting when you start to see gains doesn't it? I love to push and see what I can do next

Mr Wards, please explain the benefits of resistance training as it pertains to weight loss, I.E. residual burn or calories and such. I think for the weight loss goals of some this would be helpful. Thanks in advance

There are some good points with health issues for some. My wife has asthma very bad so she struggles with exercise but she has done what she can, like some have said its the little things that will help, park far from store, stairs not elevator, bicycle, swimming is a pain to get into unless you have a pool but it is a very good workout. Another tip if you want success is if you decide to do something try to do it close to work, the further you drive the less likely you are to stop day in and day out. I run, hike or hit the gym right next to work when possible. Best tip is keep it simple to start, remember there is not a secret to weight loss, lower calories in than calories burned period. With a small amount of exercise daily and a calorie negative you will lose. I have to work really hard to not gain weight, I have been heavy all my life despite being involved in every sport on earth for most of my youth. At age 35 I was 255 lbs and way out of shape (over eating) , seeing the Kona Triathlon on TV got me off my butt and by age 39 in 2012 I competed in 6 triathlons at the Olympic distance placing in 2 and winning one in my group. The second thing that got me going was the Biggest Loser show. Like said before its a lifestyle not a diet, it has to be part of yours and your families life everyday.
