| Last time, I left off by saying that there had been some exciting happenings on the publicity front. I’ll get to that in a moment.
Right now I want to share with you where I am hunting this fall and give you some information about the companies who are supporting my endeavor.
This November I have been blessed to go hunting with Travis Simpson and Dan Langlois in Buffalo County, Wisconsin. For those of you who have never heard of Buffalo County, Wisconsin, I’m letting a well-kept secret out of the bag.
Buffalo County is the top-ranked county in the U.S.A for having the most entries recorded in the Boone and Crocket record books. The county has twice as many entries in the book as the number two county on the list, a whopping 45 entries. To put that into perspective, the 2 counties tied for second place have 23 entries each. These two counties combined beat Buffalo County by one entry.

| The Update | |

| The fight goes well. Thanks to the customized eating plan and the exercise program I have lost 15 pounds. I feel a lot better and the routine is becoming a habit. That is half the battle for me.
My last post mentioned that I would share with you my workout program and eating plan. So here we go.
The eating program was created by professors at AUM and it is a very simple plan that you can develop to fit your dietary needs. It is created with the help of the USDA’s new pyramid system called “My Pyramid.” All you have to do is go to www.mypyramid.com, put in your goals, and the site generates an eating plan that will get you to your goals. It even gives you tracking sheets so you can print out and track your daily progress, which to me is the key to any successful diet/exercise plan. It really is that simple. If you are wanting to make a positive change, there is a mountain of good information there. Use it to your advantage.< ... | | |

| Last time, I left off telling you how things were coming together on these self improvement projects, and today I am going to tie everything together so we can get on to the business of transformation.
At this point you know that I had a life altering moment, and decided that I wanted to change my life. After deciding to loose weight and get back into archery, via a co-worker, I was lead to AUM, and their great staff in the Exercise physiology department. That is where we pick up today.
After learning that there was an archery guru right in our own back yard, Daniel Dye made a call to a former colleague over at AUM in their media and information department. He told them what we wanted to do, and to see if they would be interested in working ... | | |

| Some Background Information | |
| By dhart on8/13/2007 1:50 PM | |
| In my last entry, I talked about the events that have caused me to want to change my lifestyle. For the next 12 months, I will chronicle my trials and tribulations that I’ll face along the way.
The first accomplishment I want to achieve is to lose weight and get back in shape. Not long ago, I was in good shape, but a couple of injuries and my fading will to exercise have led to me gaining about 70 extra pounds. That is coming off.
I recently discovered a little know fact that hunters reading my blog will find interesting. More hunters die each year in the field from heart attacks than the other nine reasons combined. Some ... | |
