Keeping busy and losing weight

I have been spending time at my sisters helping them sort out the electrical and other stuff in their house. I feel like a troll working in the basement. Well it's not what people would normally call a basement as it is seventy years old.

At least it keeps me occupied and allowing me to lose more weight.

I have now managed to lose 35 pounds since february and still going.

My goal is to go from 240 to 230 by march and then down to 220 by june and stay there

I have not been 220 since mid-80's

I am not on any fad diet or doing cleanses,etc

I just cut out alot of crap out of my diet

I don't count calories or anything like that

If I want to have that curry chicken or goat or go to mcdonalds I do it

I try not to eat after 6pm and dirink anywheres from 8 to 10 litres of water a day (yes ... I go pee alot)

I am keeping busy in my paddling off season working on my sisters house and another friends house

I find it really easy and feel great

I really noticed how great i felt a couple weekends ago when i was able to carry my new boat from the river up the steep hill to the parking lot without even stopping

I can't wait until spring paddling in march

Chillfest 2011

Well last weekend there were ten of us paddling on the Lower Madawaska River.

It was close to freezing but at least the sun was out ... well mostly out.

I spent the day taking conservative lines down the river as I did not want to go for a swim even though I had my drysuit on. Had to rescue some boats buts thats par for the course.

The evening or shitshow as I like to refer to it was a great dinner and lots of drinks at the famous Wilno Tavern. I am glad we did not get kicked out when the private party started as it would have meant going back to a motel room to party.

I have to admit I was moving pretty slow on the sunday.
