Sept 25, Day 3

Left Ft Collins and drove through Estes Park out to the Rocky Mountain National Park, up the old Fall River Road, down the other side of the divide to Grand Lake village, to Granby and up to Walden. We have now driven 900 miles. The drive up Thompson River Canyon was beautiful as always. Saw a few elk as we went by the Estes Park golf course. Nothing in sheep basin as we headed to the old road. Old Fall River road was very beautiful. What can one say if you haven’t been there. Herd of Elk in the basin below the summit. Saw Marmots, ground squirrels, lots of chipmunks, a coyote, some mule deer, and yes we saw MOOSE. Three of them. One large cow or might have been an anterless bull but don’t recall their status this time of year but I think the bulls are in full antler now. That was in the Arapaho Wildlife Refuge. On the way back to Walden, we decided to go east of town a ways as there are some willows and streams out there. Luckily spotted a cow and her calf back in the willows. Don’t know if we got photos of them or not. The other one down south came out of the willows on the run and there was no time to get a photo. We are tired but having a great time.

It is sad to see so many dead pine trees everywhere. However, the aspens are absolutely gorgeous. From green to yellow to gold to red, sometimes all on one tree. Fabulous.

Good morning. I weighed in yesterday morning at 237lbs and this morning at 237.8lbs so I am hitting my 18 lbs loss this week. That will leave me 33 days to lose a solid 7 lbs and reach my e84 challenge of 10% or 25lbs off. I am feeling pretty good and am down from size 44 pants to size 40. I have to cinch them up pretty good but am not quite into size 38 comfortably. We use the Evolv shakes, thin and I drink the energy. Works well. The water is great and we are taking a case of it to Colorado with us to help with the thin oxygen content of the high mountain air. Will report back how it does.

Well, had the biopsy of my right lung which seems to have a tumor which they call a nodule. It is in the back lower right side. They went in through my back between a couple of ribs, (as opposed to going thru a rib?) LOL, and the procedure went well. I didn't feel anything and since I was on my stomach didn't see anything. They observed me for an hour and Terri took me home. We grabbed some lunch at Sonic and went home where I promptly took a good nap of about 4 hours she tells me. Good rest. She fixed chicken enchilada's and they were absolutely wonderful. Oh and I was down 18lbs yesterday morning and a little up from that this morning. The evovhealth products are working. Had a great visit with our son in Canada yesterday evening. it was so good to talk to him. Sure miss him. Haven't visited with Ron lately either. He works way too much. Talk to Meg and Allyson and Nathan quite a bit. Brad once in a while when he isn't on a train somewhere. All are doing well as can be. Proud of all our kids. It is kind of a shock to be going along with minimal health issues and then all of a sudden get hit with the possibility of cancer. It is an interesting feeling. I am at peace with it. I have talked to God about it and He knows what I/we want, but He also knows that I know He is in charge and that I want His will over mine. I worry about Terri though. She is doing better than she was a week ago. She cried a lot, but is hanging in there.
