Then she says that I am going to have to lose some weight before Cruise season (first cruise booked Oct 10) because she says my cruise clothes aren't going to fit. I couldn't argue with either point. You see, she is fit, trim, and smart while I am fat, drunk, and stupid. So when she speaks I alertly listen. She says "remember 3 years ago when you hiked for 30 days straight and lost about 15 pounds?...well, we are going to do that again, only I am doing it with you." My silent reaction is Oh Boy, I am fuddernutter.
There have been a few comments about how I am not as kind and friendly here as in the past. Well yes, I have a nasty attitude and this is why. My life has been a living hell. It is one thing to hike every day in the spring or fall, It is totally insane to do this in July. I have been out every morning before 7:30 hiking 6+ miles up and down mountains and try to get back to the house by 10am before the heat kicks in. I have hiked through thunderstorms four times, hiked through the clouds several times where you feel like you are drowning and can't see 20 ft ahead, hiked through countless spider webs as being first on the trail always sucks, but I will admit there have also been some glorious cool mornings. With additional walking on the deck at the house I have been averaging over 10 miles a day. It seems all I do is hike and walk anymore.
But I am pleased to report that after this morning's hike, I have only 3 more days to go and the challenge will be met. But a funny thing happened this morning on the hike after I mentioned that we only had three more days...Mrs FatMan says "well, lets see how long we can keep the streak up". Grrrrrr. The good news is we are heading to Hilton Head Island on Friday so we can't go longer than Thursday, that is until she says if we get out by 7am we can still leave on time Friday. So, I sense this will never end.
Here is my FitBit tracker report from last week so you can feel my pain.
