Roll Call.....#30

Just got back from camp. They were watching me the whole time. Still had fun

Hey welcome back...glad you had fun! What kind of stuff did you do there?

I flew a drone, programmed a Plc, shot a bow, went whitewater rafting, and walked. A lot.

Cool I was wondering if you did archery given how popular it's been in the movies recently....sounds like lots of fun...

It is. I also made a bowstring and an arrow

What is a bowstring made of?

Waxstring. It takes a really long time to make.

What do have to do to it...I wouldn't think that would be stretchy enough....

Bowstrings aren't stretchy. The bow just bends.

I always thought they were more like guitar strings or something where they had some give...I've never actually fired one or even held one....

so i went biking again today. but i dont understand i weighed myself before biking and i was 136 and after i biked and weighed myself i was 138 and it hasnt gone done. cardio isnt supposed to do that to you right?

You got to realize that your weight fluctuate durning the day. The best time to weigh yourself is in the morning after you wake up.

Did you hydrate....I know you lost a pound yesterday and I was assuming that was just water loss...today if you had water you may have gained but water is not fat you will pee it out soon enough....

yea i did. i weighed myself right when i woke up. it was 136. but i do like to see the fluctuations. the reason i asked is because when i biked yesterday - after i biked it went down 1 pound but when i biked today it went up 2 pounds. anyway i guess ill just have to wait and see

yes today i brought water but yesterday i didnt. its been hours now and i been peeing a lot but it hasnt gone down

We had an archery unit in high school. They warned us the bowstring could break our arm if it hit it. So I was afraid of archery.

I did archery in high school too and never did they warn us about that.

Is your scale accurate? I have a Tanita. The weight reading is really accurate and reliable.

Yeah I think yesterday you sweated off a pound of water on the ride but today you didn't....still great exercise but it does take time.....you might notice a difference tomorrow morning....

I've spent my whole frickin' life afraid of all the things I've been told could go wrong. My dad was in insurance, so he knew all of the freaky things that could happen and leave you dead or maimed for life.

Once we were at Worlds of Fun watching the dolphin show. We were sitting on these metal bleachers. My dad turns to me and says, "You know, these things are always collapsing and crushing people's lower legs."

So, now I know to keep my lower legs far enough forward when I'm sitting on bleachers that they won't get caught underneath in case of collapse.

Thanks, Dad.

Archery is a lot like the flying trapeze to me...it's the kind of thing I fantasize about because there is no weight or strength in my dreams but in real life I think it would be hard...and I'm afraid of heights and now breaking my arm so yeah...

lol.... Welcome to my world!

Oh god. Now you got me paranoid lol.

I just googled 'bleacher collapse.' Dad was right.

i have two scales. a weight watchers scale and a fitbit scale. :/?
