Lose weight.....throw grenades!

Today is day five since my new recommitment to losing weight. I promised myself that I would post my results every week on here, to kind of help motivate me, and as a way to track my progress.

So here's how the last four days went.

Thursday: Started diet. Ran for 2.5 miles on treadmill. Later that night at work had a good chest / triceps / stairmaster workout

Friday: Woke up ran 2 miles on treadmill. Had back / biceps / stairmaster workout later that night at work

Saturday: No workout at all. I had to deal with frozen water pipes when I woke up, and at work I was stationed in a high secure area where working out is not possble. I will refer to the area for now on as the bunker.

Sunday: Once again, no workout because of the bunker again.

Monday: Ran 2.5 on the treadmill first thing in the morning. Also weighed myself ----210 lbs = a 5 lbs loss. not bad.

Now I am at a crucial point. I usually can get down to 210 and then I destroy it all by cheating on the diet. Well, today would have normally been a cheat day, but not today. I am hanging in there. I really want to kick the effort into overdrive, and see how fast I can get down to 200. I think I will do some lifting later tonight Back and biceps.

PAINTBALL

So, it's still snowing. Talked a lot this week with Clay and Jon about the itch to play. We all agree that it't time for winter to end. I got my A5 all pimped out exactly how I want it now. It has a stock, raised sight rail, Egrip, 42mm red dot sight, flatline barrel, raider shroud, and false magazine. I have to admit, it's a little heavy now with all that stuff on it, but it sure is wicked looking! I will post a pic of it in the future.

I was going to get rid of the Flatline barrel, cause I felt like it wasn't as accurate as I'd like, but then I realized I had gone with a remote last summer and no stock, so there wasn't anything to brace against my shoulder. The inaccuracy I experienced might have been due to that. So, I am going to give the Flatline another chance. It's worth it since the barrel puts 150 ft of extra range on your gun, that others don't have.

The only other thing, is I found this cool kit you can get: refillable grenades.

We as a group have never used grenades hardley. Mostly due to the expense. A typical paintball grenade averages around $5.00 a piece! That's just too much money for most of us. Although there have been many times when a grenade would have come in handy, for the money we do without. Except maybe for now. These grenades average 1$ a piece. Much better. I still need to talk the guys into going in on the refill kit. For practice purposes we could just fill them with water. I talked to Clay, and he's for it. I gotta find eight guys willing to fork over $12.50. That would get them 3 grenades, each one reusable up to five times. So, $12.50 for 15 grenades essentially. That's only 83 cents a pop. You can't ask for much better.
