Marcus,
I just want to express how proud of you I am. I remember around this time last year you posting about your struggles and motivation to exercise. I saw in the other weight loss challenge thread your transformation this year!!!! Congrats to you buddy. I’m sure it was a lot of hard work and dedication. Very inspiring my friend.

Thanks man yeah it's been a lot a of work. The surgery was just one tool in the tool belt of things that helped me along the way. Guys on this forum have offered great encouragement, ideas for workouts and eating, and some have even helped with giving me a starting point for a lifting regimen. It's been a big life style changes and I'm feeling better the I ever have.

passed up the 1st animal of the season. I had a 4 1\2 foot black bear in one of my trees stripping leaves off of it this morning. 224 yards off of the deck. Just did not feel like harvesting it. still a small bear. Very cool to see him, especially, after i told my wife he was around a couple of weeks ago, based on the sign i have been seeing.

last week i floated for 5 days on the salmon river, than did some mtn biking, followed up by an overnighter on a ridge top with the wife.
I drank way to much beer last week. time to give the liver a break.
