			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A good loss this week.  I am kind of surprised to see it too.  Yesterday Was my fathers 60th birthday and I made a 100% homemade carrot cake.  I made it Monday night and had a good amount of sampling of both the cake and frosting and then yesterday I had a good sized piece of cake. (birthday cake has no calories right?) So I had some lovely cake and lost weight to boot&#8230;<br />

<p>I must admit I am a little annoyed with my slight gain.  I started back at the gym a few weeks ago and have still been eating pretty good and I can&#8217;t seem to loose.  I have a feeling that after my body adjusts to the new exercise amount  the weight will start coming off&#8230;  Or at least I hope&#8230;</p>

<p>Eating out is a part of life and when you are trying to loose weight it is a huge challenge to stay on track.   Here are some tips to help keep that meal out a little better on the belly&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>1.</strong> <strong>Split your meal!</strong> Portions are HUGE, big enough for 2 in most cases.  <a href="http://twitter.com/supercoolkid">Miss HuskyHiker</a> and I have starting doing this a lot.  Not only are you saving calories your saving money too.  Heck, even the grilled chicken at chilli&#8217;s has 850 calories and 45 grams of fat!  That is without fries!   Even if you are not with someone who is willing to split order your meal with a to go box and split it right when you get it.  Enjoy the rest the next day for lunch&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>2. Avoid sugary soda.</strong> Get water instead, you should drink more water anyway&#8230;   One regular soda packs <span id="more-555"></span>about 160 calories.  Water zilch! and never mind free refills with water the first fill is free&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>3. Don&#8217;t go blind and hungry.</strong> Do your research, look at the menu on line.  Plan your attack before you get there make a healthy choice and stick to it.  Most restaurants have nutritional info on line for download&#8230;  Keep looking it&#8217;s there somewhere, they hide it well they don&#8217;t want you to see that info.  Also have a healthy snack before you go it will help keep your mind on track and avoid appetizers.  The bloomin onion at outback has 1560 calories and 86 grams of fat.</p>
<p><strong>4. Avoid the fat key words. </strong>Some things just sound so good&#8230; butter, cream sauce, creamy, oil breaded, alfredo, battered, gravy, smothered.  Stay clear,  as good as it sounds it is just not worth it&#8230;  The fettuccine alfredo at the olive garden has 1220 calories and 75 grams fat.  Keep that in mind when you see the fat key words.</p>
<p><strong>5. Change how they serve it.</strong> That burger comes &#8220;smothered&#8221; in mayo ask for it with no mayo, or mayo on the side.  Salad or a vegetable side instead of fries most will do it&#8230;  Have them make it for YOU!  You are paying top dollar for this food so you should be happy with it&#8230;</p>
<p>So when heading out this weekend keep these tips in mind&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yeah, I&#8217;m back&#8230;   After reading all the <a href="http://twitter.com/#search?q=%23tenyearsago">#10yearsago</a> posts on twitter the other day, I was thinking what I was doing 10 years ago.  I could not remember what I was doing 10 years ago&#8230;  Was I in Florida?  After thinking about it for a minute or a day, I realized that 10 years ago was Y2K.  Who could forget that?  Waiting for every computer to fail, wide spread power outages, total chaos&#8230;   I spent that night at a friends house in Western, MA waiting for nothing to happen&#8230;</p>
<p>Then I was thinking about what I was like back then&#8230;  I had just lost about 70lbs and was full of confidence.  I lost a good deal of weight in a little over a year,  and ten years later it is all back plus some.  It is time to get serious about this.  I am starting all over Wednesday Weigh-in Week 1 this week!   Its time to get fit and meet the goals I have had for years!!!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The first time I opened a geocache and saw a wooden nickel I really wanted to have my own made up.  That night when I got home I searched google high and low for wooden nickel printers, geocaching wooden nickels, and any other search string that might help find someone to print wooden nickels of good quality at a great price.  Everything I found just seemed like a lot of money for a piece of wood that I plan on dropping in some rubbermaid container in the woods. (is it really worth it)  I toyed with the idea of making them myself, and I still plan to make some on my own.  The idea went on the back burner for a while and it resurfaced a couple weeks ago when I saw one of these great wooden coins staring up at me inside a cache. I went back on the hunt.</p>
<p>At first I found all the same companies that I found on my last search with some new ones that just didn&#8217;t seem to have the quality or look I wanted. So I turned to twitter, <a href="http://twitter.com/geoseaeye">geoseaeye</a> said I should check out <a href="http://adstuit.com/">www.adstuit.com</a>. I checked out Fred&#8217;s site and was not sure what I thought, it was hard to tell the quality from the pictures on his site, but the <a href="http://www.adstuit.com/Prices.html">prices</a> are great&#8230; (100 for $30, 250 for $50 0r even 1000 for $100) Prices are for double sided with custom graphics.  I emailed Fred and asked about better pictures and he had none to offer.  Still unsure I sat on it for a while&#8230; One night I sent Fred my design and asked how he though it would print, he said that it looked like it would come out great and asked if I wanted to see a proof. Well 20 minutes later saw my proof and placed my order and I am glad I did.   Fred was awesome to work with and they got the wooden nickles to my door in under a week!  They came out great!!! Thanks Fred!   <strong>If you are in the market for wooden nickels (they are so neat) without a doubt see Fred at <a href="http://adstuit.com/">Ads-Tuit</a> and tell him Husky Hiker sent you!!!</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">So here are the nickels</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have decided that I am going to set mini goals for myself weekly. They might seem small but they are focused to keep me on track.  When I look and see that I have only lost 4.6 lbs in 41 weeks it makes me kinda sad.  (that figure of 4.6 might not be completely accurate, when I started weight watchers I started weighting in on a new scale with clothing on.  I have lost 10.2 since starting weight watchers.) At least the scale is moving in the right direction&#8230;   I will update goals listed in this post as I complete them.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have been in a bit of a slump, I gained 4.4 lbs last week and have been having a hard time getting back on track with Weight Watchers. I am hoping that  reading about other peoples weight loss journeys can bring some inspiration to get back on track. Here are some inspirational weight loss bloggers that I have found&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>A Merry Life</strong> &#8211; <a href="http://amerrylife.com/">http://amerrylife.com/</a><br />
Mary&#8217;s history sounded a lot like mine, she too last weight after high school only to gain it back later in life.  Her blog focuses on weight loss, nutrition, fitness, and other health related topics, usually with a positive spin&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Andrew is Getting Fit</strong> &#8211; <a href="http://www.andrewisgettingfit.com">http://www.andrewisgettingfit.com</a><br />
Andrew is on a journey to get fit, he has lost 97lbs so far. He did the Couch 2-5K program and has ran a 5, 10K race and a half marathon. Andrew should be an inspiration to all of us&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Fat Girl To Fit Girl</strong> &#8211; <a href="http://fatgirltofitgirl.wordpress.com">http://fatgirltofitgirl.wordpress.com</a><br />
When Diane turned 49 she wanted to trade in her sedentary lifestyle for an active one. She is on Weight Watchers and doing great having lost 61lbs. she also has completed a duathlon &amp; triathlon.</p>
<p><strong>Fat Lazy Guy</strong> &#8211; <a href="http://thefatlazyguyslog.blogspot.com">http://thefatlazyguyslog.blogspot.com</a><br />
The Fat Lazy Guy is from New Zealand, He is making great progress to meeting all his goals. He has lost 216.7 lbs to date (that is not a typo!) All I can say is WOW!</p>
<p><strong>The Token Fat Girl </strong>- <a href="http://www.myallnaturalweightloss.com">http://www.myallnaturalweightloss.com</a><br />
Lorrie was 320lbs at her highest weight, she is doing her own thing, combining things she liked from the diffrent programs she has tried&#8230; Will that work? Seems like it is, she is doing great!</p>
<p><strong>Losing a Hundredweight</strong> &#8211; <a href="http://losingcwt.blogspot.com/">http://losingcwt.blogspot.com/</a><br />
&#8220;When I was a teenager I used to fantasize about having my own pair of breasts to play with. Now, as an overweight, middle-aged man, I seem to have them &#8211; and it’s not as much fun as I thought it would be.&#8221; &#8211; Kim Ayres.  Kim has lost 81lbs after realizing in a &#8220;midlife crisis&#8221; what he had been doing for the last 25 years&#8230;</p>

<p>proven to be a challenge, it seems to be raining almost every day.  We put in at the boat ramp off Quaboag St. in Brookfield, MA.  This paved parking lot has plenty of parking and a concrete boat ramp for launching. The lake was</p>
<div id="attachment_496" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 160px"><a href="http://huskyhiker.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/small8090640.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-496" title="small8090640" src="http://huskyhiker.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/small8090640-150x150.jpg" alt="Quaboag River" width="150" height="150" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Quaboag River</p></div>
<p>calm but the wind was picking up and Quaboag Pond gets choppy when the wind is blowing, so we headed for the river. The mouth of the Quaboag River is on the west side of the lake or head to the rear, right corner of the lake as you leave the ramp.<span id="more-486"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The Quabaog River is a relaxing flat water paddle.  This river has no current to speak of and can be paddled up or down stream easily.  The river is lined with mash and wet lands for most of the trip and great blue heron will be plentiful, also you will see a few beaver and muskrat huts along on the way to West Brookfield.  Luckily most of the river is protected land, part of the Quaboag Wildlife Management Area this make for a secluded trip down the river.  No houses along the river, mostly you will see fishermen and other</p>

<p>kayakers. Due to the river being marsh edged they are not may places to get out for a break so make sure to take advantage of Whites Landing, They sell bait and some supplies.  If the kitchen is open you can even get some grub.  I think they might do canoe and kayak rentals too&#8230;   We too out in West Brookfield at Old Long Hill Rd. and carried the boats a few hundred yards to my folks house.</p>
<div id="attachment_503" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 160px"><a href="http://huskyhiker.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/small8090651.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-503" title="small8090651" src="http://huskyhiker.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/small8090651-150x150.jpg" alt="Great Blue Herrin" width="150" height="150" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Great Blue Heron</p></div>
<p style="text-align: left;">You can continue on the river all the way to Warren (port over beaver dam) before you hit quick water.  It turns fast after the Old West Brookfield Rd. bridge.  We were going to continue on but hunger called and it looked like a storm was moving in. pizza seemed like a better idea than being on the river in a storm&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.fawnsociety.com/massoutdoorexpomoe.html">The Massachuetts Outdoor Expo</a> (or Big MOE) is an opportunity for families to learn about fishing, shooting, kayaking, mountain biking, rock climbing, and a whole bunch more outdoor activities.  This will be the 13th year for the Big MOE, and best of all it&#8217;s FREE&#8230; Free parking and admission!</p>
<p>From the Big MOE website:</p>
<blockquote><p>A Brief History:<br />
The Massachusetts Outdoor Expo, fondly referred to as The Big M.O.E., started out with a group of sportsmen and women who wanted to create an opportunity for kids of all ages to learn more about outdoor skills, wildlife and conservation. They approached the Hamilton Rod and Gun Club in Sturbridge to host the Mass. Outdoor Expo, due to its central location, facilities and the connections the group had to the club. An annual event was born!</p>
<p>A couple years later, members of the Mass. Outdoor Expo group approached FAWNS, (Facts About Wildlife &amp; Nature Society) a non-profit group founded in 1998 to promote the connection of people to the outdoors. FAWNS was interested in promoting educational experiences focusing on the outdoors. A &#8220;natural&#8221; connection between the Expo group and FAWNS was obvious.  A partnership was formed and FAWNS became the organizing entity supporting the Big MOE.</p></blockquote>
<p>Hope to see you there!<span style="background: #ffe5b1 none repeat scroll 0% 0%; font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: arial,verdana,sans-serif;"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong><em> </em></strong></span></span></span></span></span><br />

<div id="attachment_459" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://huskyhiker.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/oursite.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-459" title="oursite" src="http://huskyhiker.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/oursite-300x225.jpg" alt="Crown Point, NY" width="300" height="225" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Crown Point, NY</p></div>
<p>Crown Point Public Campground is located at <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&amp;source=s_q&amp;hl=en&amp;geocode=&amp;q=784+Bridge+Road,+Crown+Point,+NY+12928&amp;sll=37.0625,-95.677068&amp;sspn=33.626896,79.013672&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;ll=44.027237,-73.421996&amp;spn=0.059615,0.154324&amp;z=13">784 Bridge Road, Crown Point, NY 12928</a>. This campground is located on the southern edge of the 281,600 acre <a class="zem_slink" title="Lake Champlain" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Champlain">Lake Champlain</a> and right on the New York / Vermont border.  Crown Point rests over battlefields and fort locations dating back to 1775, remnants of the old forts can still be seen.  In the campground you will also find a beautiful lighthouse and fishing pier, both seem to be the main draw of the campground. A boat launch ramp is also located inside the campground so, if boating is your thing, this is a great place to stay.  The rate to camp here is $17 a nite and reservations can be made through <a href="http://www.reserveamerica.com/camping/Crown_Point_Campground/r/campgroundDetails.do?contractCode=NY&amp;parkId=573&amp;topTabIndex=CampingSpot">reserve america</a>.</p>
<div id="attachment_461" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 160px"><a href="http://huskyhiker.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/lighthouse.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-461" title="lighthouse" src="http://huskyhiker.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/lighthouse-150x150.jpg" alt="The Lighthouse" width="150" height="150" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">The Lighthouse</p></div>
<p>The Crown Point website shows many sites that you would think to be waterside or lake front camping, but only few sites even have water front views. Sites 1-10 are they only sites with a clear view to the water but a fence (and a steep hill) block access to the water from your site.</p>
<p><span id="more-457"></span>The other sites that look like they might be on the water are not and the view is blocked by heavy tree cover.  Most of the sites here seem better suited for RVs and campers more so than tents.  Most sites have water close by and no other hookups, The do have a waste dump station on the grounds.  If you seek seclusion from other campers this might not be the place for you.  The whole campground is essentially a field with enough trees to create mostly shaded sites, but you will have a full view of your neighbors site.  The lean-to site, site 48 is the only site that offers true privacy.  All sites are full grass with fireplaces and picnic tables. Sites 27-32 are very close together and I would rate them the worst sites in the campground, also 55-59 are very close to the main road (Bridge RD.) that sees a good amount of traffic.  Sites 42-47</p>
<div id="attachment_463" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://huskyhiker.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/camproad.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-463" title="camproad" src="http://huskyhiker.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/camproad-300x225.jpg" alt="Enterance Road" width="300" height="225" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Entrance Road</p></div>
<p>are the best group of sites in Crown Point in my opinion.</p>
<p>Bathrooms can make or break a campground and Crown Point didn&#8217;t excel nor fail here.  They had bathrooms with hot water and they were clean enough.  Nothing spectacular and nothing gross either. The showers near the check in station seemed to have a lower water pressure than the other shower but was usable.</p>
<p>Shopping for food and supplies can requie a bit of travel withing 10 min you have a great general store that has most things and a bait shop that seems well stocked, but it is a</p>
<div id="attachment_470" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 160px"><a href="http://huskyhiker.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/crownpoint.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-470" title="crownpoint" src="http://huskyhiker.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/crownpoint-150x150.jpg" alt="Sites 27-31" width="150" height="150" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Sites 27-31</p></div>
<p>20-30 min windy road drive to a grocery store, Super Walmart in Ticonderoga, NY</p>
<p>Conclusion: If you want a relaxing campground where you can fish, boat, and explore history this is a great place. If these things don&#8217;t interest you or you want a private site you might want to look elsewhere.  I would stay here again if I had a reason to be in the area buy would not go out of my way to stay here&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I missed weigh-in last week (week 37) because Miss HuskyHiker and I were on vacation.  Camping for three nights in Crown Point, NY followed by a three night hotel stay in Burlington, VT and more camping for 2 nights at Otter River State Forest.  I didn&#8217;t count points, plan, figure, or anything. I ate out and even had a good amount of beers (lots of great breweries in VT).  So at weight watchers weigh-in yesterday I was expecting a gain, But I had a .2 lb loss&#8230;  I&#8217;ll take it! a loss over vacation how great!   We were active over vacation and I think that was the key.<br />

<p>Sunday Morning a couple friends and I headed out for a early morning kayak trip.  This was my first trip out on the kayak for the season, my kayak has been in storage and I figured it was about time that I go pick it up&#8230;</p>
<p>We met at the Oxbow boat launch for 7:30AM I was surprised to see how busy it was.  The launch has 2 parking spots for cars with roof top boats only but they seem to fill up fast, one was open when we got there.  The concrete launch is nice but you have to move quick and get out in the water because it is almost certain that a boat on a trailer is waiting for you.  The water in the Oxbow is murky brown and there is no current to speak of.  I figured we would run into more power boats but only a few on the way back.</p>
<div id="attachment_432" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://huskyhiker.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/kayak-oxbow-007.JPG"><img class="size-medium wp-image-432" title="kayak oxbow 007" src="http://huskyhiker.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/kayak-oxbow-007-300x186.jpg" alt="Mill River Kayak" width="300" height="186" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Mill River Kayak</p></div>
<p>The real adventure starts when you pass under the low clearance bridge and into the Mill River.  The river is narrow and shallow in some parts and passes through the <a href="http://www.massaudubon.org/Nature_Connection/Sanctuaries/Arcadia/index.php">Arcadia Wildlife Sanctuary</a>, be on the lookout for submerged logs just under the surface.  There are a few downed trees you have to make your way around and under before you reach one that requires you to port over, this is where we turned around&#8230;  There is a medium current in the river and you really notice it when you start to head back. We saw a couple blue herrings on the trip back, but I am sure there is much more wildlife to be seen here. It was nice to be back on the water&#8230;</p>
<p>Most of the kayaking I have done was in Central Mass so I can&#8217;t wait to explore more waters in Western Mass&#8230;</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">Its easy to overindulge when camping. S&#8217;mores are just so delicious and hamburgers and hot dogs are so much fun to cook over the open fire. Here are some ideas for healthier camping food options&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The easiest thing to do is take a look and see if you can find lower calorie versions of the food you would normally take.  Replace fatty cuts of meat with leaner cuts, hamburgers with turkey burgers, find lower fat hot dogs, baked potato chips or pretzels rather than greasy chips. Beef jerky is a great healthy camping food most are 97% fat free.  Don&#8217;t forget your veggies too, many are very very tasty cooked over the open fire.</p>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><strong>Corn on the Cob</strong> &#8211; Peal back the husk and remove<span id="more-416"></span> the hairs replace the husk and soak in cool water for 20-30 minutes, grill till tender over hot coals</li>
<li><strong>Zucchini and Summer Squash</strong> &#8211; Cut in half or quarters brush with olive oil lightly salt and pepper and grill over hot coals till tender</li>
<li><strong>Sweet Potatoes</strong> &#8211; Cook just like you would with white potatoes, wrap in foil and toss directly on hot coals.  (note: do not stab foil wrapped potatoes with a fork to check tenderness or to remove from fire. doing so embeds tiny bits of foil into the potato.)</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: left;">Another great way to cook on the camp fire is &#8220;foil packet cooking&#8221;.  Almost anything you roast you can cook in a foil packet &#8220;beets and sweets&#8221; would make a great foil packet meal&#8230; All you have to do is lay out a large piece of foil and place the ingredients into the center of the foil. Fold into a packet of some sort (wrap it so you have a few layers of foil on each side). Place just over hot coals turning a few times for even cooking.  Time needed will depend of what you are cooking.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Just remember when you are camping you are more active than normal so it&#8217;s ok to enjoy a few s&#8217;mores!</p>

So here I am to give it another go&#8230;</p>
<p>This time around I am going to the meetings, I find them cheesy but Miss HuskyHiker enjoies them and we are on this adventure together so I am going for her&#8230;  I have lost 6.4lbs so far and Miss HuskyHiker is not far behind.</p>
<p>Weight Watchers is a way of calorie counting that gives food a &#8220;point&#8221; value based on calories, fat, and fiber.  You get les points as you loose weight and you can earn extra points if you exercise.  They keep saying at the meetings that it is not a diet, just a training program to get you eating right.  I guess that is true and a good way to look at it&#8230;   So Weigh-in Wednesdays will be back with a vengeance&#8230;</p>

The house is now a &#8220;museum&#8221; that has some info about the rock house&#8217;s history&#8230;</p>

<p>girlfriend.  My Brother and his girl have been out on two more hikes since, so I think I might have got them hooked on the outdoors&#8230;</p>
<p>At the Rock House they allow horseback riding and hiking/skiing/snowshoeing only no Mountain Biking and I have never seen any horses or traces of any horses.   No Fishing or boating is allowed in the pond either.   This park is rich with history and a great place to stop if you ever find yourself in the area&#8230;</p>

One of the outdoor activities I enjoy is fishing.  In most states you need a license to fish.  On June 6th and 7th the state of Massachusetts allows anyone to fish license or not, I am sure this is to get people &#8220;hooked&#8221; so they will purchase a license.

<p>One of the outdoor activities I enjoy is fishing.  In most states you need a license to fish.  On June 6th and 7th the state of Massachusetts allows anyone to fish license or not, I am sure this is to get people &#8220;hooked&#8221; so they will purchase a license. All license fees go to the <a class="zem_slink" title="MassWildlife" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MassWildlife">MassWildlife</a> Program.  I think most states offer this program and it usually falls on this weekend, <a href="http://www.fatwallet.com/forums/hot-deals/911932/">here is a list of free fishing days</a> (double check the info on your state wildlife web page) or just search google for your state and free fishing day&#8230;</p>
<p>You still need to follow fishing laws so make sure you read up a little before you head out.  Most states limit fish you can keep and size.</p>
<p>So its time to dig out that old fishing pole and head outside for a couple days&#8230;   If you have ever though about giving it a try now is the time&#8230;    Get out and just enjoy being outside!!!</p>
