• I gained most of the weight I lost last year, due to ice cream and things of that nature, but I've started losing it again, a bit more slowly this time. Once again, eating less and exercising wins. I've actually convinced Reg this time to stop eating snacks constantly, as he is unhappy with his Prozac weight gain. Anyhoo, he's lost about 10lbs and I've lost about 5.
• I'm trying to get serious about backpacking. I've idly thought for a couple years about the Pacific Northwest Trail, but clearly it's not gonna happen unless I condition like a MF. I basically stopped walking every day when I got my job almost 2 years ago, but whenever I go for a walk now, I don't get winded unless I motor. Or if I carry weight, which I've begun doing. I put a heavy wool blanket in my pack, then a water-filled 2.5L Platypus, then a bunch of CDs. Or loose ankle weights. I go quite a bit slower carrying 15 or so pounds on my back. Anyway, at least 30 minutes of that every other day.
• This winter was a little snowier in the mountains, but the spring was REALLY snowy. Which means most of the good hiking trails are snowed under still. (some pics to demonstrate) However, one of the more famous trails, Lake Stuart/Colchuck, is pretty much snow-free. And Leavenworth is going to be 83F Saturday, so that's likely the plan this weekend.
• Reg wants to road trip to CA around Labor Day this year. Hopefully I can get the time off and still afford to pay bills.
