MULEPACKHUNTER

Looks pretty good, I agree with the soda and snacks, I have not had fast food in several years, like 6 years. No soda longer than that. Actually I don't even have to try really during the day but dinner time is out issue, my wife and I love good food and wine, it's really tuff not to crave nice formal dinner every night. For years when the kids were home we sat down for dinner every night. I think if we could cut back on our forms dinners we could really lean down. My wife is clinging to her creamer like its life it's self, women I think have a tougher time letting go of habits or cravings, ice cream is home made in our house and I won't even mention that one, she would throw me out for sure.

Tater and teddy needed to get in on the workouts. White tanks 3 hours. Nuff said.

Funny mark, I started doing some of the train to hunt workouts and found simple stuff to be difficult. Push ups sucked and pull ups etc. I can hike, run, swim, bike, no prob but push up like a girl lol.

When looking at calories with the wife we found we use a lot of olive oil. Not bad fat but tons of calories by volume. I cut a lot of oil and my coffee creamer and I lost weight without much other effort.

Quick tip, cook your eggs in water in a non stick skillet, just a little water and the cover with foil and cook on low, will steam the tops to a nice easy over easy or sunny side

Ya I also just grab a yogurt and breakfast bar. Works well hunting too, easy and quick. I do the fruit and yogurt with micro biology going on as to keep the guy doing well. I find as I get older my gut needs more help than it used to. Exercise and fermented foods seem to be the way to go. Kambuca is really good as well, tastes like crap but really helps you crap. Lol

2.24 mile hike tonight scouting for next years javi.

Bananas, blue berries, strawberries, lite yogurt, cup of black coffee, gets me to lunch time.

Awsome hunt, love those wet drizzle days in az

I knew you had a trail cam up there.

65 lb pack up mesquite canyon trail in the white tanks tonight. Ouch

2017 train to hunt, archery deer for 10 days total here in az in Jan, put in for Nevada deer, put in for Kansas deer, put in for elk az, dream of otc elk in Colorado, quail hunt before season ends, archery deer in August, hike Grand Canyon again somewhere in there.

Haha, Monday was good to us, big hike in Tucson with my family along with light Asian lunch and downtaown walking then a few miles in the mall. Big drive home late last night and no snacks other than raw nuts and water. Headed for the range today for a hike and shoot.

Good to see this forum pop back up, I'm right there in the same boat somewhat. I have managed to stay in decent shape but for sure not where I was last year. I too had some major injuries but luckily I was not sick. My life schedule turned around 180 which afforded me double or triple the amount of time in the woods but my fitness schedule went out the window and has not been back. My diet I have managed to keep on the level but alcohol is up in the ranks. Headed out for another backpack hunt next week and I know it's going to be a grind. My 2017 goal is to train and compete in the train to hunt in Tucson this may. I have already started learning some of the workouts and I have been hiking and shooting. If my shoulder holds up I hope to drop 10 lbs and ease back to my 2105 fitness level. My main deal is dreaming of hiking way off in the hills for my some day archery bull tag. I don't want to be behind on fitness when that happens.

Would love to hear the whole story as well at some point.

Hey nick if you don't mind sending me your address I'll send a check asap. Pm of course

Wholly crap dude, nice work congrats.

Hey carter if you do 5bs let me know and I'll offer some help. I put a bunch of time scouting and hunting there and we had a bunch of chances at elk wary archery.

6 in in Heber

Over the years we have pulled away for mainstream and we don't do gifts at Christmas. We make a big effort to spend time with our spread out family instead. With that said we still bring house warmers on occasion. Lol my house will be very warm this season.

Just ordered 2 sets, out of stock though.

Wow sweet buck congrats

Right in my backyard, I can come out and haul steel and spot and film if you guys don't mind a loafer?

Being a glass half full guy I say awsome, more hunting, shoot 2 in one hunt and get away with it? Sounds good to me. Great trip buddy
