When I moved to Colorado a friend of mine flew up to hike a “easy” 14er. I tried to do it with him since I had never really had trouble walking a long distance and he convinced me that it was easy. Note: he climbs mountains multiple times a year. So we went and I made it less than half a mile at that altitude.
Well that helped push me to start losing weight and get back into shape. SW: 271, CW: 188, GW: 179 (BMI in the normal range and not overweight).
Yesterday after a painful 7+ hours, I did it! I hiked my first 14er. Some very nice people let me borrow their sign and take my photo. I didn’t pack a sign because I didn’t know if I would make it to the top or not.
Super excited and wanted to share here. For weight loss I slowly adjusted my eating behaviors by reducing fast food, and watching calories while walking for exercise. When that stopped working as well, I bought an elliptical and put it in the basement and did as much as I could every other day until I had about 1 hour on it. Currently I am limiting my carbs and bread intake while counting calories and doing elliptical and strength training.
