Thoughts:
My steps total leaves a lot to be desired this week! I knew it would be low though because I was on vacation and did some serious socializing instead of my normal three hours of working out each day. About 25 of those 40 miles were super intense hiking in Moab, Utah. Every muscle in my body had been sore for about three days now.
Living on sea-level and than going on vacation to Utah was interesting. I was working out at about 5000 feet above sea-level. It was such a strange thing to know that my muscles had the potential to work a lot harder than they were. I knew that I could walk faster and yet I could not get enough oxygen to make that happen. As the week progressed working out in the high altitude environment got easier and with my expanded lung capacity I am curious to see what I can do today back at sea-level again.
Despite the altitude if Timpanogos was not totally and completely covered with snow right now I think I could I hike it. (I have seriously no memory of the snow being this thick on that mountain before. This winter has been brutal in Utah.) I am basing this on how I did on the Moab hikes. So now the goal is not really to be able to hike Timpanogos. The goal changes to be more about how easy I can make it to hike Timpanogos.

I am happy with this weight loss for this week. I ate out with friends six times on this trip and still managed to eat healthy. YEAH!!!!
Wow--getting healthier by the minute whilst having a ball. How can you beat that?
ReplyDeleteI tried your burger recipe and it worked out great. If all goes smoothly today, I might do the meatballs for dinner.
Hope the burgers came out ok. I tried to cook them in Utah and I don't know if the difference was just the much higher altitude or what but they were not as great... (Awesome way to endorse my product there right?! LOL)
ReplyDeleteI love the meatballs!
From whole of the blog it seems to be that you are reducing your weight and you are easily achieve your goal such that you have walked a lot. And you are reducing your weight by that.
ReplyDeleteYep, the burgers were great in Indiana. :) I tried the meatballs too, and they were wonderful. I used a few substitutes, though, so next time I'm going to try it exactly by the recipe and I think they'll be even better (thought I had mushrooms when I started...nope! I was out).
