Between a rock and a Hard place: 2 weekends left and One hiking trip left!

Of course that has nothing to do with my weight. Which lately has been a struggle. Man day last Saturday put a halt to the weight loss. I believe I drank a half case of Dew that day not to mention burgers, wings, and onion rings at hooters. Then of course we had to cap off the day with 2 extra large pizza's, chips, and more Dew.

Well I'm supposed to hit 170 by the end of the month putting me just 5 lbs from my goal weight. I've been as high as 175.8 and as low as 170.6. Today I clocked in at 173.2 but I don't see that going down with the weekend I am looking at. First it's a trip to Grandma's house. I challenge anyone to spend the afternoon at my grandma's house and not eat half their weight in junk food. It doesn't end there though! Then I get to go to a BBQ with the other side of my family. I'm sure everything there will be deep fried or breaded or both. At least it will be fun.

So chances are I won't be hitting my weight this month. Still keeps me ahead of Doug so I won't get upset of a one month slip. Now to locate Bryce and find out how these rules work....I mean do I have to hit 169 next month or if I end the month at 175 do I just need to make it to 174 next month. Luckily he's been talking like he won't hit his weight this month either.

Anyways back to the original subject of the post. After Susan got off work Sunday and I had taken a small nap after man day. We drove out to the Mima Acres nature trail. It's really not much to look at this time of year. In fact I had a hard time finding anything to take pictures of. And, then there was that pesky owl that we never found but he was making a crap load of noise. Oh and it's on the border of the gun club so it wasn't exactly peaceful either. I plan on making a trip back this summer because I hear the wild flowers are a sight to see.
