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.

I have been in a bit of a slump, I gained 4.4 lbs last week and have been having a hard time getting back on track with Weight Watchers. I am hoping that reading about other peoples weight loss journeys can bring some inspiration to get back on track. Here are some inspirational weight loss bloggers that I have found…

Mary’s history sounded a lot like mine, she too last weight after high school only to gain it back later in life. Her blog focuses on weight loss, nutrition, fitness, and other health related topics, usually with a positive spin…

Losing a Hundredweight – http://losingcwt.blogspot.com/
“When I was a teenager I used to fantasize about having my own pair of breasts to play with. Now, as an overweight, middle-aged man, I seem to have them – and it’s not as much fun as I thought it would be.” – Kim Ayres. Kim has lost 81lbs after realizing in a “midlife crisis” what he had been doing for the last 25 years…
Getting back on track after vacation is hard. I had a loss but I have been bad about tracking. I need to get back in the habit of tracking… Weight Watchers works because we track!

I missed weigh-in last week (week 37) because Miss HuskyHiker and I were on vacation. Camping for three nights in Crown Point, NY followed by a three night hotel stay in Burlington, VT and more camping for 2 nights at Otter River State Forest. I didn’t count points, plan, figure, or anything. I ate out and even had a good amount of beers (lots of great breweries in VT). So at weight watchers weigh-in yesterday I was expecting a gain, But I had a .2 lb loss… I’ll take it! a loss over vacation how great! We were active over vacation and I think that was the key.

Its easy to overindulge when camping. S’mores are just so delicious and hamburgers and hot dogs are so much fun to cook over the open fire. Here are some ideas for healthier camping food options…
The easiest thing to do is take a look and see if you can find lower calorie versions of the food you would normally take. Replace fatty cuts of meat with leaner cuts, hamburgers with turkey burgers, find lower fat hot dogs, baked potato chips or pretzels rather than greasy chips. Beef jerky is a great healthy camping food most are 97% fat free. Don’t forget your veggies too, many are very very tasty cooked over the open fire.

I re-joined weight watchers on June 10th. I did weight watchers on line program a few years ago and lost about 70lbs, but started thinking that I could track on my own and didn’t need to “waste” my money on paying for the program. Yeah, doing it on my own didn’t work out so well I gained all the weight I lost back plus some. So here I am to give it another go…
This time around I am going to the meetings, I find them cheesy but Miss HuskyHiker enjoies them and we are on this adventure together so I am going for her… I have lost 6.4lbs so far and Miss HuskyHiker is not far behind.
Weight Watchers is a way of calorie counting that gives food a “point” value based on calories, fat, and fiber. You get les points as you loose weight and you can earn extra points if you exercise. They keep saying at the meetings that it is not a diet, just a training program to get you eating right. I guess that is true and a good way to look at it… So Weigh-in Wednesdays will be back with a vengeance…

I was sick for week 22 weigh in so I didn’t bother weighing in… I believe that when you are sick you need to focus on getting better, not counting what you are eating. Heck I bet I enough cough drops some days to fill my recommended calorie intake. The gym was out of the question last week too… This week I am getting back on the gym routine and this weekend is going to be 80 and sunny so I can’t want to get out…
