weighty

coming back home, i've been getting comments that i look slightly less... weighty.

the moment of truth came today when i went to the pool.
they've got that cool scale that goes to the tenth's place.
this is what it looked like the day before i left for broken mammoth.

today i stepped on the scale with the usual amount of clothing that i have on and it read 157.4. that's a good 5 pounds.
and a couple months before leaving it was more likely to read around 165-8.

now i'm just wondering where this weight came from, if it's from muscle, since i didn't get to lift as much heavy things in the field, or if it was actually fat.
people from camp commented that my stomach went away a little.
good for it.

i guess i was pretty active down there. hopefully i can keep it up here.
it was just so crazy up there cuz you could be active around 11 pm and you wouldn't think twice about it. down here it'd be dark and you wouldn't feel so willing to wander around if it was in a dark forest.

i guess i did lift and move a lot of heavy shit. it was about 8 cubic meters of dirt.
thats like 220 cubic feet of dirt.

i'm damn glad we worked in metric. it made things so much easier.
