Sue down 1.23% Total 11.93.

I must admit when I have a weight loss victory it is more as a result from exercise than it is from controlling what goes in my mouth. I try (try being the operative word) to have a protein source for each meal and to consume a lot fewer carbs. I try to stay away from rice, potatoes, white breads etc. and eat more whole grain, fiber rich carbs. I work with a couple of fitness freaks that say hiking gives you your biggest bang for your buck as far as burning calories goes. This from a guy that "enjoys" running the grand canyon from rim to rim at least twice a year. He has yet to convince me that could be fun. Ogden has am amazing variety of beautiful hiking trails and I have hiked and hiked and hiked some more all summer. I try to throw a bike ride and a swim in at least once a week as well.
