I'm hoping there are still some who are reading this group! We will be heading out there in late July.
Getting in shape for high adventure trips with my sons was one of my original motivations for losing weight 2.5 years ago. The max weight for my height was my initial weight loss goal, and I'm happily well below that now.
We went to the Boundary Waters last year and had a blast, even if it did rain for 3 days and dip near freezing one wet night in July. It was a glorious trip and my sons wear it like a badge of honor. (My ticker is a panorama from Warrior Hill in Lac la Croix.)
I've never been to Philmont but can't wait to go. Apparently we'll get our assigned trek soon. Our troop is sending two crews. We're starting some practice hikes now. We wanted to start sooner but this winter has been brutal. I've been doing a lot of cardio work on the elliptical and rowing machine to get myself as fit as possible.
I don't really have a question but would be happy to hear any feedback or advice!
