Welcome 2010!

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!!!

Welcome

Welcome to my blog.  My name – Jim.  I have decided to share my journey of dramatic weight loss as I hike through the local mountains in New England.  I grew up in a small town in Massachusetts where hiking trails were abundant and beautiful.  Needless to say, hiking soon became a favorite activity of mine.  But, like most young adults, life was moving fast and the time to enjoy the trails began to diminish.  Along with the poor eating habits that developed, I began to really pack on my weight.

I wasn’t myself.  I was tired, so tired.  Because I really enjoy hiking, geocaching, biking, kayaking, camping and outdoor adventures, I didn’t want my weight to be an issue any more.  I am inviting all of those who enjoy the outdoors or/and are overweight to follow my adventures.  Who knows where we’ll end up!

My adventures, here on these pages I will be sharing all my adventures in this journey.  Hikes I go on, awesome food I cook, camping trips, gear I buy, reviews, pictures, rants and raves, you know the usual.
