I flag pipelines and well sites whenever someone needs to dig. Mainly when they are building locations or putting in pipelines. I love what I do. Some…

PW 212.8 CW 215.2 LTD 16.2 Had a bad week didn’t log my meals and had too many sweets I knew this was coming but it wasn’t as bad as I was predicting. Time for a better week 😊

Well got my hike in this weekend at Theodore Roosevelt national park. I tried getting a co worker to go with me but her husband works shift work and this was his weekend off so I went on my own did a 4.5 mile hike through some moderately rough terrain and was completely worth it. I felt so great I love hiking I use to hike…

PW 214.8 CW 212.8 LTD 18.2 So Happy for this loss I was worried about the wedding messing with my progress but some hard work this week really paid off 😊😊

Wednesday check in Food: great Exercise: 30min strength training Been feeling great that wedding I think added to my motivation 😊 Work was supposed to be crazy today but had a few things cancel or got figured out a lot easier than what me and the team thought so ended up being pretty uneventful with almost a full day.…

Hey all sorry it’s been a crazy weekend had our good friends wedding. They had to change venues three days before the wedding due to a wildfire that started four days before their wedding and I went down early and was running all weekend helping get everything ready. The wedding did turn out amazing and beautiful and was…

Saturday check in Food: not great Water: not great Fiancé had to work today so I headed up to williston to go shopping again.

Friday weigh in PW 217.2 CW 216.6 LTD 14.8

@1theresamcvean I don’t know why they don’t tell us about these jobs if I could do it again I’d go to school for survey it’s a lot like my job but they make a little more. It amazes me the good jobs out there no one knows about I found this job randomly after the one I went to college for didn’t work out. And I make more…

Weigh in Friday PW 219.2 CW 217.2 Didn’t get to post yesterday after the pipeline I kinda crashed for the night. I burned almost 4,000 calories yesterday and did 7.79 miles according to my Fitbit 🙃 I did get a lot done and will have about 2 miles left on Tuesday. It is funny I’ve been doing this career for three years and…

It’s been a crazy week spent yesterday clearing up my area for locates and helping out another locator with her area. We are contract locators so each of us is trained on a different company I mainly do well pads and pipelines. There’s one other girl who the same company as me but she’s got the area north of me. Then the…

Well today was a Monday for sure had some issues getting some contractors squared away to dig. Four wheeler I use for the long pipeline project I have going on had flat tires which was kinda a blessing since I got more steps in by walking but getting on and off the four wheeler every 100 feet for a mile gets a lot of steps…

About me I’m Melz and I live in small town North Dakota. I’m a line locator for the oilfield so I flag pipelines and well sites whenever some one needs to dig either building locations or putting in pipelines. I love what I do. Some days I’m walking 9 miles through fields and hills other days I’m driving 300 and everyday…

@tryingagain5 i can’t imagine working 72 hours in a week I put in a 64 hour week before and it was brutal. I love being in a small town but I’m a long way from home and been here almost two years but so many people move in and out of North Dakota. I’m glad it’s gotten better there though we are slowing getting busy again.…

@tryingagain5 I can’t imagine what small businesses owners are going through right now. Or towns that are still mostly shut down. I’ve been fortunate being in a state where we don’t have the population density as many other states. We are almost back to being open and haven’t had any major spikes. I know one thing I’ve…

PW 222.8 CW 219.2 So so happy with this after last weeks gain 😍 wasn’t too sure what I was going to be at today didn’t have the best dinner and was only driving for work today. Ready for an awesome weekend. I’m going to a nearby city. Well almost a three hour drive there but that’s nothing for me. One of my co workers is…

Works been kicking my butt doing between 6-9 miles a day I didn’t count calories for two days so maybe that’s it. I’m starting adding workouts to Monday Wednesday Friday next week so hopefully this helps. My best friend came up to…

Today was one heck of a day spent 11 hours marking out one pad with the help of another locator. I still feel pretty good but pretty sure I’m gonna be feeling that 8.7 miles tomorrow and I got a two mile pipeline to walk in the morning so a good four miles there and back. 😊😊 plus this weekend my friend is coming up to see…

Well took the jet skis out for one last trip on the lake. It’s a pretty good workout and plus it was a blast. My legs are gonna be sore tomorrow lol. 😊 Kinda sad it’s time to winterize them but it’s time to shift focus. Time to start gearing up for Elk camp in October and get the snowmobiles running before snow hits the…
