      Still working on my first goal, this week was 62 flights, I am also doing other cardio stuff that I don't count as steps. Next week I would like to double my flights.

      What I know:
      1-Atkins WOE/WOL plan works
      2-I need to always work on the behaviors and triggers that make me over eat.
      3-Atkins WOL is part of the puzzle, but is not the entire thing.
      4-Self-deprecation only feeds our inner ego and not in a good way.

          Nice climbing everyone! We're regular globetrotters here!
          I'm hoping to be done with KVLY TV Mast very soon. Clinging to the mast, I think I'm interfering with the N Dakota poplulation's TV reception!

                Sweet and Jimmie.... hey, if we interfere with all the comunications networks we might be able to broadcast Atkins propaganda subliminally! The Bin Ladens of this world would be nothing compared to us...

                    Sweet, how could I forget to congrat you on your climb?

                    Well done!
                    I'm loving these shorter climbs still. They seem to slip away so fast!

                    Jimmie... a million steps is completely mind blowing! A real achievement!
                    You're a genius to have thought up this challenge. As for all the hard work in running it.... ty ty ty climbing pal!

                      I think we need to lower all our flags to half mast. Sir Edmund Hillary died, aged 88. Our Everest inspiration has gone to a higher climb. Very sad indeed.
                      But...

                              You'll soon be at the top of the Taipei Tower then Jimmie. Jack's steaming ahead too!! Good on ya both!

                              As for me, well, slowly but surely! Taking things at a leisurely pace these days, as everything else in life is frantic.
