 I knew I would experience a large variety of emotions during my weight loss challenge. There would be all the positive emotions involved with getting outside, exercising, exploring, and feeling better. I knew that there would be days I would not feel like going out and I would have terrible cravings wanting to eat something I shouldn’t. One emotion that I … Continue reading Geocache Diet – Day 37  Guys like to talk about cars right? Our love affair with the automobile is a part of the male identity, correct? Well, not for me. I never understood the fascination for cars as in my view they are just a method to get around and a necessary evil for the ultimate road-trip. I don’t like spending money and for … Continue reading Surviving as a One Car Family 
Thursday was my biggest day of caching ever. Lisa and I have decided to give each other a full day to themselves while the other gets a full day with the kids. I was going to make the most of this opportunity so I woke up at 6am and was out the door … Continue reading Geocache Diet – Day 35  With Martin doing the Geocache Diet weight loss challenge Lisa thought she needed a challenge of her own. True to her nature Lisa decided not to do some competitive quantitative challenge, instead an abstract, creative, ‘feel good’ challenge is more her speed.

Like any typical Valentine’s Day for us we did not do anything special but we thought we would have a nice quiet evening with a dinner and a movie after the kids went to bed. Lisa decided to prepare a fondue and I chose the movie. As always I went … Continue reading Looking for the Perfect Lifestyle Change Date Night Movie  Last night I was watching the woman’s moguls at the 2010 Winter Olympic Games and saw the poor competitors trying to cope with the rain and wind. Those were the same west coast conditions that I have been geocaching in the past few days. It has been wet, real wet, and windy enough to blow down … Continue reading Geocache Diet – Day 29 Back on November 2nd, 2009 the Olympic torch relay came through our home town. Over three months later and after circum-navigating Canada the torch relay made its way to Vancouver and the 2010 Winter Olympic Games have officially started. Since Annika had a lot of fun during the relay I wanted to see what a … Continue reading A Four-Year-Olds Reaction to the Olympic Opening Ceremony  Here are some random thoughts and observations of the past 3 weeks of geocaching that do not fit as a standalone blog. We should encourage our general public to use trails as a way to stay in shape and care needs to be taken to present these trails in a positive manner. I was out … Continue reading Geocache Diet – Day 26  Last night we gave the kids a special treat; we let them watch a movie while eating dinner. I know! We are crazy and reckless parents! Even though it seems commonplace these days I don’t know how long it has been since we watched TV during mealtime. It used to be an everyday occurrence before we had kids. Mealtime … Continue reading Mealtime is Family Time  932 Geocaches – 2346 km on foot – 88lbs – 342 Days! The geocache diet has gone global. I have to thank the fine folks at the podcacher.com who were kind enough to mention the geocache diet on their Feb 7 geocaching podcast. I was introduced to podcacher.com just recently by local geocacher coast2coast2coast, the … Continue reading Geocache Diet – Day 23  938 Geocaches – 2355 km on foot – 88lbs – 343 Days! I had my third weigh-in this morning and unfortunately I was not able to repeat the 6 lbs lost last week. I am only down 2 lbs since the last weigh-in for a total weight loss of 12lbs in 3 weeks.
