From my walk the other day. I have only been able to average a mile a day this week. , but I can't complain, because I have been working my tail off at work! So considering I am lifting and moving 40-75 lb boxes of product onto shelves/building shelves... that's exercise, right??

It's activity for sure! I don't know if I would classify it as exercise, myself.
I have had packaging jobs where moved 10-30 pound parcels back and forth from shelves and floor constantly for 12 hours, and it never got me in shape. It was high activity, and good for burning Cal's, but I don't consider something exercise unless it makes you get in shape.
Not really an important distinction, what matters is only how you feel! Colorado is the best, if it wasn't so commercial we would move there in a heartbeat.

Yeah I
Just read an article about your muscles memorizing movement patterns, and they mentioned work, even high activity jobs, not counting g is your body acclimates to the repetitiveness. So that shot my theory! Just curious, what do you mean by Colorado being commercial?

It is hugely popular because it is so beautiful, and it has been getting more expensive to live there and harder to find work for years. When I was a kid we would drive back and forth between Ft Collins, Loveland, and Boulder and see nothing but prairie dogs and now we see nothing but housing developments and strip malls. It's sort of depressing.
The bigger issue is that professionals have flooded the state and that makes it hard to compete in a medical or law practice, especially with the sky-high housing market.
Since legal pot things have only become worse and it just doesn't seem like a great option anymore.
We bought a 3 bed house and barn on 5 acres with a natural spring and a natural gas well for $95,000 here in Ohio...No such thing in Colorado!

Good point. I moved here to help my dad when they discovered the Pancreatic cancer, but it was the best move I ever made. I don't know if I'll leave..

It's pretty damn awesome! It's our second favorite place in the world!

Yes. Expensive, yes, especially Colorado Springs, but thanks to being raised in California.. I am well aware of how hard I'll have to work to obtain things here. It's just so awe inspiringly beautiful.. that I am willing to work my butt off to stay. ( I honestly don't recall ever having felt that way about anywhere else I have lived.)

I've been eating like a fat slob for a couple weeks under the guise that I am packing on muscle mass, I have been lifting intensely every day and skipping cardio all but once or twice a week.
It's been fun!!
Sunday the diet resumes, back to miles a day and 1000-1200 calories. Should be less fun, but I am excited to peel some fat off the muscles that have exploded this last month.

You really go for the extremes it seems like. Do you think you'll ever find yourself at a middle ground?
