nah, not in fishing, though I sure wish it were so in current state of year.....
what I did do though was get through a long 5 day Thanksgiving vacation , that included 3 major family dinners, plus a Wedding, plus several lunch outs, and with all of that:
I MANAGED TO LOSE ONE POUND!!!
lol......really though, I am really proud of this..... I sat in company and watched people eating all sorts of sweet goods and refrained....
also put 4 quality workouts in there ........
I am on a very special diet, I kind of call it a high calorie diet, in that I am right on the edge of eating what just a little further would cause you to simply maintain weight......it is designed to not lose too much lean tissue as I begin to get into what I want to be in terms of shape, fat wise........as such: I have zero leeway with goodies, and on this particular diet, I can't even have, say, one cookie, or one scoop of ice cream, etc and so on......I am eating just below the threshold that I hope will allow me to lose weight at the low rate of only one pound a week maximum......after a couple of months of this, I wouldn't even mind if it drops to one pound every two weeks.......
my goal? to compete in an over 50 natural bodybuilding event late in the fall next year! I know, sounds ridiculous, but it has been some 25 years since I last did that, was a gas and great experience, but then right after that I started having problems with injuries that eventually led to my extended layoff in my 30s......but this slow grinding and patient climb back from my 40th birthday on has now resulted in steady gains again in weight lifted, still nothing like my twenties, but gathering in intensity and sure feels a lot better than when I first started out again, where I was sore for a whole week just from pressing an empty bar! LOL......
so , 2004 will hopefully bring more to me than just fishing goals....long way to go, but I am psyched!!!
unfortuately for my Nybassers, I will have to bore you with the details every now and then HAHAHAHAH......
