What a spectacular weekend this has been. Dry air and temps in the 80's which is pretty nice for Minnesota in April. I'm finally getting the bike out. Diet wa**** and miss over the last two weeks. Visiting my parents is always a challenge with the food they have available. With the exception of the last few days, exercise has been a challenge as well.
I got my second year bloodwork back last week, and I am hitting my aims across the board on vitamins, BP, Glucose and A1c. Was told to increase B12 (even though my numbers are going up) and vitamin D.
I haven't been checking the mens forum ten past few days, and I see a lot of activity. Instead of responding to each thread:

Hey Guys! - Thanks to everyone who posts here! You guys keep me motivated to exercise and eat right! Hope you all had a good week. I have been exercising more on a treadmill and went on my first trail hike ever 4.4 miles in the hills and it took about 3 hours. I noticed when I exercise unfortunately that increases my appetite. Also on Sunday I walked 7.5 miles in a park. My food is doing okay except on Saturday after hiking I ate a larger of quantity of food then I normally eat. I want to keep the weight off for the long haul and do not want to let this become a short term fix. I think I read somewhere on Obesity Help to try to establish some long term goals. So a short term goal that I have is to section hike the Appalachian Trail. Then on my bucket list I want to thru hike the Appalachian Trail. It is just a goal to keep in the back of my mind to keep me walking and moving. I continue with protein supplements Isopure and pure protein bars and then a 3 oz (normal dinner) sometimes I do eat almonds or peanuts in the evening for a snack. Keep up the good work and have a good week!
