A good loss this week. I am kind of surprised to see it too. Yesterday Was my fathers 60th birthday and I made a 100% homemade carrot cake. I made it Monday night and had a good amount of sampling of both the cake and frosting and then yesterday I had a good sized piece of cake. (birthday cake has no calories right?) So I had some lovely cake and lost weight to boot…

I must admit I am a little annoyed with my slight gain. I started back at the gym a few weeks ago and have still been eating pretty good and I can’t seem to loose. I have a feeling that after my body adjusts to the new exercise amount the weight will start coming off… Or at least I hope…

Healthy Eating Nightmare
Eating out is a part of life and when you are trying to loose weight it is a huge challenge to stay on track. Here are some tips to help keep that meal out a little better on the belly…
1. Split your meal! Portions are HUGE, big enough for 2 in most cases. Miss HuskyHiker and I have starting doing this a lot. Not only are you saving calories your saving money too. Heck, even the grilled chicken at chilli’s has 850 calories and 45 grams of fat! That is without fries! Even if you are not with someone who is willing to split order your meal with a to go box and split it right when you get it. Enjoy the rest the next day for lunch…
2. Avoid sugary soda. Get water instead, you should drink more water anyway… One regular soda packs Read more »

Starting Weight: 298.6 – let the fun begin
Yeah, I’m back… After reading all the #10yearsago posts on twitter the other day, I was thinking what I was doing 10 years ago. I could not remember what I was doing 10 years ago… Was I in Florida? After thinking about it for a minute or a day, I realized that 10 years ago was Y2K. Who could forget that? Waiting for every computer to fail, wide spread power outages, total chaos… I spent that night at a friends house in Western, MA waiting for nothing to happen…
Then I was thinking about what I was like back then… I had just lost about 70lbs and was full of confidence. I lost a good deal of weight in a little over a year, and ten years later it is all back plus some. It is time to get serious about this. I am starting all over Wednesday Weigh-in Week 1 this week! Its time to get fit and meet the goals I have had for years!!!
The first time I opened a geocache and saw a wooden nickel I really wanted to have my own made up. That night when I got home I searched google high and low for wooden nickel printers, geocaching wooden nickels, and any other search string that might help find someone to print wooden nickels of good quality at a great price. Everything I found just seemed like a lot of money for a piece of wood that I plan on dropping in some rubbermaid container in the woods. (is it really worth it) I toyed with the idea of making them myself, and I still plan to make some on my own. The idea went on the back burner for a while and it resurfaced a couple weeks ago when I saw one of these great wooden coins staring up at me inside a cache. I went back on the hunt.
At first I found all the same companies that I found on my last search with some new ones that just didn’t seem to have the quality or look I wanted. So I turned to twitter, geoseaeye said I should check out www.adstuit.com. I checked out Fred’s site and was not sure what I thought, it was hard to tell the quality from the pictures on his site, but the prices are great… (100 for $30, 250 for $50 0r even 1000 for $100) Prices are for double sided with custom graphics. I emailed Fred and asked about better pictures and he had none to offer. Still unsure I sat on it for a while… One night I sent Fred my design and asked how he though it would print, he said that it looked like it would come out great and asked if I wanted to see a proof. Well 20 minutes later saw my proof and placed my order and I am glad I did. Fred was awesome to work with and they got the wooden nickles to my door in under a week! They came out great!!! Thanks Fred! If you are in the market for wooden nickels (they are so neat) without a doubt see Fred at Ads-Tuit and tell him Husky Hiker sent you!!!
So here are the nickels

P.S. Any geocachers want to trade wooden nickels please contact me…

Goal Summery for week 42:
I almost met all my goals, I didn’t get a chance to go for a hike… I did track my Weight Watchers Points 4 days last week and rode my bike to work 3 days, and one day after work Miss HuskyHiker met me and we rode the bike trail about 12 or so miles. So I think I did ok this week…
Goals for Week 43:
Ride my bike to work twice (I have a 4 day weekend)
Day 1
Day 2
Hike one time
Kayak one time
Go to the casino and come home with more money than I leave home with. wohoo!
I have decided that I am going to set mini goals for myself weekly. They might seem small but they are focused to keep me on track. When I look and see that I have only lost 4.6 lbs in 41 weeks it makes me kinda sad. (that figure of 4.6 might not be completely accurate, when I started weight watchers I started weighting in on a new scale with clothing on. I have lost 10.2 since starting weight watchers.) At least the scale is moving in the right direction… I will update goals listed in this post as I complete them.
