Very Recently, i started preparing my body for the abuse it will endure on my hike. I fit somewhere between average and beer belly. So cardio is a must. I have been going to the gym every day during the week with good friends Chase and Nicole. Around a hour and a half of cardio and a hour of weight training. I want to be around 185 when i leave for springer. This will allow me some room for weight loss on the trail and still be healthy.
Another big step is cutting back on my alcohol. Lord knows i love beer. More than any man should. Iv spent many days at work just counting down the minutes until i can reach into that cooler and grab a ice cold beer. Cutting back from every day to 2 to 3 times a week should be a big help. Is this possible???
Going into a restaurant and ordering a salad and grilled veggies is a big change from a philly, baked potato and a gallon of ranch dressing. It is something i will have to get used to. At least until i drop the weight. Only 15 more pounds until i can start indulging in man food again! My mouth waters just thinking about it...... This is going to be a tough ride.
