Goals

New Year's Resolutions

This year I have 3 goals:

1) lose weight. I've been having some success with the "Metabolic Precision" program. The main idea is to build muscle mass to increase your metabolism. It combines eating more protein, reasonable carbs, and omega-3 as well as doing resistance training. It's working for me even though I'm not a hardcore adherent. I hope to continue the success throughout the year.

2) reach a total of 558 geocache finds by the end of the year. I was at 139 finds when the year began, so this is still more than 1 per day on average which is going to be a challenge. People ask "Why 558? Why not 500?" It's an inside joke from the online game I play. The crossover between the players there and the geocaching community is 3, so not many people will get the joke. That's ok, I do ;) 

3) write at least once a week on this blog. So...it's been 10 days since my last post. Oh well. Still going to try to keep at it. I had some positive feedback on my picture-a-day blog. This one won't be quite the same, but I do tend to take a lot of pictures. I'll be posting a lot of them, especially when I see something cool while geocaching. There is a lot of hidden beauty out there that you'd never know about until you go looking for a random piece of tupperware ;)

This is one of my recent favorites. I was looking for caches on the south side of San Felasco (city park, not state park). The trail led past this gorgeous swamp. I'm usually not a big swamp fan--I don't like mosquitos, or snakes, or gators (the real ones--big fan of the team ;)  ) but this was just so....green! Plus, it was one of those super cold days we've been having lately; no mosquitos, snakes, or gators to be seen. I went 3-for-3 caching there that day :)
