mason a Report post Posted August 25, 2012 I kind of got burnt on the crossfit attitude. Tried to join the message board and have been denied 4 times to join as they do not believe that my name is what it is. My email. my phone and everything has the same name and they said they dont believe me.... piss off then. The gym i was going to does not tell you the price of their gym until after you go through the initial class... that kind of is shady as well. Either way... got out hiking this morning. New Danners and an easy to moderate trail at Dreamy draw. 1.5 miles and was back. Ill feel it shortly but it was the first time hiking since last october and the first time since walking again... LOL Going to try to do two times per week and build up. sorry , that happened to you , I wonder if that was a real crossfit affiliate, there are a lot of imitations out there, hopefully that is what that was. Anyhow looks like the plan you have in place is working great , so keep up the good work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Flatlander Report post Posted August 27, 2012 Just finished a short run, my calf is still bugging me though so it was mostly a test run. Weighed 201 today, luckily I had that bear hunt to keep me in shape last week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ill be on track still to try and find 199.9XXX by next Monday.... woke up early and went hiking again today. about 1.5 miles or so. not much at all but it is something. I felt it way more today then on Saturday in my bad ankle and the left knee. it will come with time i hope.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BirdDog20 Report post Posted August 27, 2012 Thanks for the feedback on crossfit. I agree with strengthening the muscles around the knee to help lessen the impact ... I tried the same approach in combination with changing my gait to more of a forefoot strike before doing half-marathon the year after surgery. Ended up with shin splints. Lol. 13.1 was probably too much pounding ... but i think in general, if you can strengthen the area around a trouble spot, everything works better together, and you can rise with the tide.

Couzer Report post Posted September 1, 2012 Great Thread Vegas Jeep! I caught myself a few times almost eating a cookie. I think that dane thing got within 2 inches of my mouth 3 different times. My Daughter has been leaving a trail of oreos without the cream filling all over the house,,,, grrrrrrrr! I worked out pretty hard this morning. I am taking pics tonight and will post them with the end results. Your right about the soda though, that is going to be my toughest challenge. I keep thinking though in the back of my head I drew a sweet tag this year in 3a, 3c and I don't want to waist it by being so tired while hunting. You guys are motivation! Keep on going!

Snapshot Report post Posted September 1, 2012 I need a scale. Can't tell were I am at. I have been working like a dog 6 days a week, and I don't feel thinner. I bet I walk 5-6-7 miles a day at work. I think I have a big problem. Plantar Faciitis. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vegasjeep Report post Posted September 3, 2012 I worked my butt off 6 days a week 10+ hour days walki more then 10 miles a day. Once I cut out soda and beer an fit food portions in check it made all the difference to losing weight. Cubout all beer and soda. Thats easy for me. The hard part is putting portions in check. I drink a lot of water and drink protein shakes. You cannot buy just any protein shake. It has to be a good quality lean protein shake. No carbs, no fat, and about 100 calories per serving. I drink mine with slim milk. Satisfies a hungry stomach. Dymatize Iso 100 is one brand of good quality lean protein powder. Har not been workin out at all thi week. Had a major set back with the little hiking I did on my ankle. Been super painful and bothersome since last monday. My weight has been hovering around 205 for 10 days now. I've seen 205.0 but not into the 4a yet. I'll get there and be back on the dropping pound track soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
