Double Arrow Lookout on the Lolo National Forest near Seeley Lake, MT. This is my first of four for lookouts I have rented for the summer. You can drive right up to this one vs having to hike in, although the road is pretty dodgy. I'm still sick, so climbing up 34 stairs felt like A LOT. Turns out I have bronchitis that's maybe getting better now, maybe not? Anyhow, it was a pretty cool deal being up on a mountain top.

Oh hahahaha ! . . . one summer in my early twenties some friends and I went on a "lookout road trip" and at the time I was desperately in love with someone who barely knew I existed so in heartsick despondence I buried a certain R.E.M. lyric on a scrap of waterproof paper under fire lookouts all over the North American west as one of those things you do when you're that age I guess. This was one of the 1st ones we visited - because of Norman Maclean, natch - so somewhere in the ground in the photo there must be the mouldering remains of said lyric (if it even still exists). Oh Youth ahahahaha!

Animation of a middle aged man riding a skateboard in a suburban parking lot. He is not moving all that fast.
I haven't skated, really, since I was 17. Last month I picked up my kid's unused longboard and have started relearning how. It is great. (Two years of weekly yoga practice has improved my balance significantly, that has made it a lot more fun.)

I'm not looking to do any tricks of any kind, just happy to carve a little.

Midlife crisis are underrated. Get out there an feel something again.

I was a roller skater in my youth. Before rollerblades, even. Wore many a toe stop to the nub. Anyway, I briefly considered lacing up my skates again recently as my granddaughters have taken it up, but then I remembered that my aunt broke BOTH her wrists in a fall skating at about my age and had to have her mother (my grandmother) come live with her for a month to help with things like WIPING HER BUTT and I came to my senses pretty quickly.

-25 lbs. today

No alt provided
alt text
Hi mltshp!
I'm 6'4" and was edging into 220lb territory at my last physical. But I wasn't worried about that at the time.

What got me to lose weight was the nagging fact that my parents and their parents and so on, although exceedingly nice and amusing could often just be completely full of shit.

So when my cholesterol test came back alarmingly high, again, I immediately told my new doctor that it was genetic... before it FINALLY dawned on me that there is no way in hell any of my relatives actually tried to lower their cholesterol by changing their diet - that's not what a family of bullshitting butchers does. But what they did tell me, was that high cholesterol was a genetic problem I could do nothing about.

So the weight loss is really a byproduct that I'm exceedingly psyched about. I mean, I need pants! Pants!

The actual win is that I totally called it. It'll be a while before I'm totally in the safe zone, but my stats are dropping :)

If you are interested in my diet, it's been pretty easy. Guilt is a very strong motivator, so I've leaned into it. I basically ask myself if a certain food's cholesterol would make me A) Feel guilty. B) Not feel guilty or C) Fuck it. I'm eating this entire pizza now. ... And then I eat accordingly.

@heyitsal Well done! I am on a very similar journey.
My goal is to avoid prescriptions and mrs roonie kick-started me by pressuring me to stop drinking. And I'm glad she did.
I've lost 20 pounds (in your funny numbers!), from 185ish to 165, from Christmas last. I'm 6ft almost on the button so starting with a smaller frame.
I feel so much better - being both sober and lighter.
Pants have become an issue!
And the Guilt Motivator is definitely a thing!

A close up selfie shot of small 16-year-old Macy the Cavapoo and me in the grass in the front yard. Some dramatic clouds shine in the background
She’s still with us, but Macy only has about a week, MAYbe two left on this earth. My wife and I have been weepy and doing our best not to have a breakdown multiple times a day as it’s gone from “she’s 16 and her kidneys are failing and she doesn’t hear or see so well and her spinal bridging is starting to cause neurological symptoms so she isn’t going to live a LOT longer, to “sometimes she can’t get up on her own and sometimes we have to hold her up to poop and we can’t leave the house without her because she’ll tip over and panic so the end may be sooner than we hoped,” to “it’s time to schedule the end,” as the last few days the pain meds and kidney meds are clearly less effective and even walking is a struggle for her and she only sleeps a couple hours at a time.

So, since our furry family member’s rainbow bridge moment will make it hard for us to function for a bit, I’m doing my best to savor every last minute with her, and posting this selfie of us in the front yard just now.

Love y’all, MLTSHPers. ❤️

@BooBounder I think often of the bit about how, from dogs’ perspective, people are these un-aging multi-generational magical creatures who care for them like they did their forefathers. We’re very glad we got to be her people for so long!

@BMK ❤️❤️ thank youuu! We don’t want her to suffer, but obviously do t want her to go - unavoidable trade off when letting a pet’s love into your life! ❤️
