Howdy Son,
How was your weekend? I trust that you are ready for an amazing week ahead.
Well, I came to my senses and decided to go on another hike with weights in my backpack. This time, though, I had 25 lbs. in my backpack instead of 50 lbs. Can you guess what happened? What happened is that it was a great hike!
Naturally, carrying 25 lbs. was more challenging than not carrying 25 lbs. I wondered if carrying the weighted backpack emulated how it would feel to be 25 lbs. overweight. Once I thought about it, it wouldn’t feel the same as the weight in my pack was mostly near my lower back. I would imagine that if I was 25 lbs. overweight that the extra weight would be distributed more evenly.
I didn’t put the extra weight in my pack to see how it would feel if I was 50 lbs. or 25 lbs. overweight. I did it to make my hikes more challenging and to build strength. Basically, I’m just continuing to work on getting healthier.
Well, that’s all for now!
Have an amazing day and know that you are in my thoughts and prayers!
Love,
Dad
