Earlier and earlier

So, with a 2 day heat advisory in store, we were up and out at 6:30 to get all of our great outdoor time in while we could still enjoy it. Only 7 crack bags on Lookout hill (4 yesterday). We walk up, picking up trash, then sit on the nice stone wall at the top to give our huffy-puffy selves a little rest. We wear shorts and light tops. then we met another huffer-puffer, but this man was in a hoodie and long pants, with plastic around his middle and an aluminum headpiece. He's trying to loose a bunch of weight. He was 300 pounds, now is 265, wants to loose about 30 more. We had a nice chat, mostly about these young 'uns who run up and down Lookout Hill without even slowing down. At least we've started and are doing something!

B says he has heard of this method of trying to loose weight. In fact, the Army recommends it for people who need to loose 5 - 10 pounds to be ready for a weigh in. To me, it sounds like just water loss, and not really good. But I guess that if it helps you feel good about the process, than it can be a big help.
