Just checking in - have not been here for a while - but as some of you know, I have been on a skiing vacation.
Had a fantastic 2 weeks in Colorado with my family and some friends.
Alcohol was consumed in very small quantities (it was EASY not to drink too much, as the dehydration effects of being at 10,000 to 13,000 feet make it a VERY BAD idea to drink very much anyway! Been there in the past - done that - didn't like it one little bit!).
I am now back at sea level and feeling very fit.
I am one of those who takes my skiing very seriously - on the first lift in the morning and one of the last off the hill in the evening. So 16 days of skiing HARD (it is the only way I know!!! ) at altitude gets me fairly fit real quick. Lost another few pounds in weight on the trip and am now about where I want to be in terms of weight.
(I have lost about 14 pounds since I started here 3 months ago - there are a lot of calories in beer, and not a lot of calories used in sitting around, trashed, watching TV!)
I am now preparing for a backpacking / camping trip into the mountains on the West coast of Scotland in early May with a couple of friends.
We will be carrying all our gear all the time (ie no base camp to leave tents pitched for several days etc.) so no room for alcohol in the pack - another week of abs will be racked up without any effort!
Tonight is a Gym night - and a couple of "satoris" afterwards of course!!
Hope you are all well, and hope you are all achieving your goals.
Talk to you soon - it's good to be back!
