So this week I was kind of in a funk. It's kind of crazy how a couple hours of cross country skiing makes everything better. We also got to hold a brand new baby. That helps too.
This weekend we went to Lusten for a little skiing with my sister and brother-in-law. Lusten is about an hour and half, maybe two, north of Duluth and definitely the best downhill skiing to be had in Minnesota. We had a great time, although our accommodations left something to be desired.
Beth and Mike both telemark skied. It's sort of a cross between downhill and cross country. The boots and skis are similar to downhill, but only your toe is hooked in, your heel is free. It looks hard. My sister "accidentally" took me down a black run. It wasn't that bad and I actually went down it on purpose later on. Don't be too impressed though. A black in MN is probably more like a blue in MT. Anyway, here a few pictures . . .
I've found a new weightloss website. My sister in law recommended it. It's called FitDay. It helps you keep track of your calories and workouts. It also has cool charts and graphs. So far, I've learned that I like carbs.
