The power of group suggestion or just Freaky Friday? I am down another 2 pounds this week for some unexplained reason. Yee Haw!!

Carol, Skunk sprays are funny since they smell SO bad, and pretty much is harmless. The smell lasts too... for weeks! I will take a Skunk over a Porcupine any day with dogs. Honest, I have had 2 pet Skunks. The first one was de-scented (when that was allowed), stayed in the house as a pet, and I even took him to school…

heronh, just keep hitting them good; they will get the message. I am glad to see that you have not given up and have kept at it. Howie, that sounds like a stress fracture. ouch!! Busy weekend with matches, and the 5am wakeup of 2 dogs going after a skunk trying to get in the chicken coop. Needless to say, Sunday was…

Yee Haw!! Noticed this morning when I got dress for the dog walk that I was down a notch (it was a surprise). I was hoping.. and the scale said 229!! Next goal is 225.. Virginia City.. I have been there quite a bit, particularly when I was growing up. Nevada City was my place to roam and look in all the buildings! A friend…
-
Ribs!! I need to get my wife to pick up some so I can fire up the smoker. Doing good here. Staring down hard on that 229 number to show up, but that 230.x keeps me busy. This 10 pounds seems like it has taken months.. because it has! The next 6 weeks is a very busy shooting match schedule, so lots of exercise and eating…
-
Tag, your it Carol!! I figure it is 2 weeks of practice before the real race LOL!! Match day today so I did pretty good on eating and I did a LOT of walking. I also took the dogs on a 2 miler when I got home. Tomorrow is another match in Missoula, so lots more exercise. If all goes well, maybe, just maybe, I can see a 22…

August 1st? I don't know if I can wait that long. :D

I find it interesting how some can handle the carb night, and others don't. I fall into the very seldom do I do a carb night, like once every month to two months. It sure can mess me up that is for sure. Positive moment.. you stopped and got back with it BEFORE you gained it all back and then some. :D
-
Ok, not Friday yet. I posted a 231 today, so I have come down over a pound since last week.. I have 229 in my sights now!! I know something is working since at the match last weekend my competition belt was much easier to get on :D California has been in a perpetual drought for at least 20 years.. Heronh, it sounds like…
-
Just because it has been in the 60's here does not mean we are not in Summer LOL!!! Although later this week we are supposed to get into the mid 80's, which is way too hot for us here in the sticks. Now if we can just survive the heat until the end of August when it starts snowing again.. "Winter is coming" is an apt term…
-
Carol, we have all gone off the rails here (well some of us anyway). Gads.. I think that means I one of the people that fail now and then.. say it ain't so!! LOL.
-
I have basically kept an even keel; same weight essentially for 2 weeks now. So, I am officially stagnant again. I really was hoping that I would be in the 220's by now.. grr. Perhaps in another week I can be going down again. This month of lose month of maintain really bites.. :D Other than that not much going on. The…

For me the crappy Montana weather is the 6 weeks of 80+ degree days (still gets to 40's at night). My whole family hibernates as much as possible during this part. Not just from the heat, but the bugs as well. Howie, some years it will rain almost every day in June (or snow), but it dries up really fast on this side of the…
-
It feels like it has been raining for days and days.. the dogs are antsy and so am I to get out and do some hiking/walking. All the roads and trails are nothing but MUD! This morning it is blowing pretty hard and it appears that the storms are moving out, so maybe a walk might happen tomorrow.. heronh, hand injuries just…
-
No snow as the storm seems to have gone mostly south of us. We did the Governors Cup for a number of years, and each year it would snow during the race. I think the last one we did was at least 10 years ago. We did talk about doing it again, my wife wanted to do the marathon; then they moved that race to Billings so she…
-
MG - did you run in the Governors Cup? I think that was this last weekend. For me the trick to getting back on track was to log everything, no matter how bad, which made me more aware. I would couple that with only buying stuff that I could stuff my face with if I wanted and really it did not amount to much. Everyone for…
-
Howie, we did pretty darn good. Even with my eating out for Chinese :D I will say the stress cursors were in full swing on the return trip though. In the middle of the big long flat stretch between Boise and Twin Falls we had a spectacular tread separation and blowout on a 5th Wheel tire. That cause some damage to the side…
-
Termites... yuck!! I knew there was a reason I love massively cold climates :D Posting from the road right now (ok, I am not driving) in Parma, Idaho. Joshua just finished up his big Ironman shooting match. Nothing like running around for 3 days in the hot sun!! It was 46 at our place and darn near 90 here. Even on the…

I don't know diddly about Muay Thai; however I do know about TKD. You would be what we called fresh meat, and you are correct most likely in your assumption about how they feel. Part of it comes from being frustrated since the new fighters lack control and discipline, so you tend to get hurt more (or they do). My advice:…
-
Howie, that Celery/PB binge was about 4 stalks and maybe 3T of PB. :D I also read what I wrote again and realize I must have been in a fuzz...that was horrible writing.. Heronh, I have great respect for your fostering dogs. Years ago I used to foster and train Rottweilers, then getting them out to good homes. I really had…
-
Great to see everyone doing well!! On the Carb Nights.. I know that I cannot do it very often as that is partly how I ended off track the last time. This time we are had it at 6 week intervals, and are thinking it may need to be pushed out just a wee bit farther. The weekend was busy with a Veteran Benefit shooting match…

This area has a lot of "summer cabins" and other property that people own. There are a few camping spots on State Land that generally get used during the summer. However, there are a number of us who live up here full time, and three homes in a row right where we live. On the other side of the road are the cabins and…

Busy match weekend with 2 of them. This morning I am down 1lb since last week. Excruciatingly slow, however it is still better than a month of going nowhere. I will take it!! What sleep I did get was pretty bad as we had the weekend party goers camped out and they were loud until 4am. Holiday weekends (summer in general)…

One thing about 3 Gun is the expenses. Since it is me and the 2 boys.. it is that much worse. I reload all the ammunition, cast bullets and shotgun slugs, and it still is about $70 per person at each match. USPSA in comparison is about $20 for the entire match. I am not counting match fees, fuel, or anything else. You are…
-
Thanks everyone for the welcome. I really started in the middle of March, and then decided that I had better keep track of what I was eating at least. So I have come down about 12 pounds since then. Can you be happy about going slow and then unhappy since it is going slow :D I used to do powerlifting, so I *know* how to…

Do you mind if someone new jumps in here? I am getting started again, and this time I have brought the entire family with me. Love to listen to the show BTW.
