A CAPTalk President's Challenge

Champions baby!  We are all Champions in our own way........

Just got my active lifestyle the other day, switching to champions shortly.

So one of the major problems we face often is hydration.  This extends to exercise, and I hate all forms of getting water that I have had thus far (water bottle, glass, peon...)  However, I just found this Camelbak Better Bottle.  These bottles have the same bite valve as the Camelbak bladders.  Plus they are pressure equalized so no nasty splashback.

I have been drinking a ton more since getting this bottle!

[Tubacap]

I should probably clarify that I only drink water from this bottle.

What else is there to drink form a water bottle?

Water with some fermented barley and hops?

Okay, so two chiropractor visits and my back is feeling a lot better.  I'm down another two pounds for a total of 8 pounds total loss since the start of this.

How is everyone doing?  I've also started not wanting to eat trashy foods... I don't know why, and it is kind of scary, but I'm starting to like things like salads and apples.

Been going 5 weeks now and feeling great.  I've dropped 15 pounds and I'm getting a great tan!  It helps that I log 15 miles or more a day walking in cornfields.  My poor pedometer!

Are you Amish?  Buy a tractor for pete's sake!

I try to stay out of the cornfields ever since I watched Children of the Corn back in 1987.

LOL  Actually, I'm an archaeologist.  I work for the State of Illinois.  We're currently doing a phase I pedestrian survey for the proposed Route 30 project, collecting surface artifacts and mapping historical and prehistoric sites for excavation ahead of construction.  We've found some interesting things.  Long, hot and dirty days in crappy terrain and crappy weather.  Kinda feels like I'm back on active duty!

^That's cool.  We flew into one of our local airports one time, and the end of the runway was all dug up.  It turns out they were trying to expand the runway, but the archaeological survey found an old Indian village right where they were going to expand.

I don't know if they actually expanded it or not.

Previous experience says do not disturb the natives.

Actually, I can almost guarantee that the construction would go through.  Archaeologists will remove and document everything as best as possible and construction will then proceed.  Even with a site as historically significant as this one:  http://www.archaeology.org/0707/abstracts/istanbul.html  The show must go on. 

It's great when a site is able to be preserved, but unfortunately there is usually no money to preserve or maintain sites and little money to be made from it.  And if we were to preserve every native American site here in the states, it would leave us precious little room to grow.
