Frank and Kev braving the final section of the Huayna Picchu climb.
After a quick hike up Huayna Picchu, we walk back downwards to Machu Picchu.
After 5 days of hiking, we head back to Cusco on Peru Rail. We are giddy with tiredness and then they CRANK this dirrrrty hip hop/drum & bass/incan music. It was the weirdest combo and most awesome thing ever, we had the best time ever.

Weight loss update
Things are still moving downwards (albeit less quickly) in the weight-loss department.
My original goal was 180lbs, representing about 30 lbs loss. I am now at 176.8lbs (total loss of 33.4 lbs), well past my college starting weight, and even my OAC high school weight. Crazy. So that is pretty awesome, but I want to push it further. The total change is insane though... a total body weight loss of 16% from my starting weight. I'm really happy with that already. But, of course, I can do more.
As expected, weight loss gotten quite a bit harder since I got to the 180 mark. While on my Peru trip, I lost about 1.5 lbs only (though my eating was completely uncontrolled and not recorded), but I was doing so much exercise every day I suspected I had increased my muscle weight and lost fat at the same time... meaning I may have actually lost MORE "weight" in the fat sense, but the results were being effectively "covered up" by the gain in muscle weight. I.e., I wondered if it made sense to stop trusting the scale as much.
The plateau at 180-ish has continued, roughly since the beginning of May. Since I got back from Peru I've started strength training 2 times per week and have seen an increase in muscle already. I wanted to test this theory out though... was I really just "masking" the fat loss, or was I just not being diligent enough and I really could lose more fat and push to 170 if I just tried harder? The answer: I just need to be more diligent. Here's an excerpt from a mail I sent my friend/fellow hiker/workout buddy Jess, as I was struggling to decide how to change my workout plan to push my fat loss to 170:
Anyway, I'm definitely still very pleased with this progress and it's insane to think I've lost 16% of my entire body weight since last September, in only the last 10 months. But on the same token, I'm not ready to settle yet and say, "Good enough"... I can still do better. This part - losing that last 5% near the finish line - was always gonna be the hardest part. But I want to push to do it, and then from here I can spend less time worrying about exact scale/fat/weigh-in values, and spend more time just maintaining my food at a reasonable level and also discovering new ways to increase my muscle tone and just general fitness. So that's all pretty fun stuff, and I'm quite excited to get to that stage of leveling-off and maintaining that weight with new and interesting workout and exercises. That'll be fun. I gotta remember to make sure to buy a reward for maintaining the weight too... that's just as hard (if not way harder) than losing the weight in the first place, so I need to make sure I continue to reward my hard work with non-food-based rewards... like more tea :)

The answer: I just need to be more diligent. Here's an excerpt from a mail I sent my friend/fellow hiker/workout buddy Jess, as I was struggling to decide how to change my workout plan to push my fat loss to 170:
I did an experiment this week- I've been frustrated with the plateau a bit but also realize they happen and you have to roll with it. I did a new subcutaneous fat test this week and the answer was not what I expected: effectively, no change. So I've been hovering around 180 for a while and really want to push to 170... I figured it was the muscle gain messing with the numbers on the scale, but it turns out my fat change is not conclusively different- meaning I am just not being diligent enough! This was a good wake-up call. Of course this is all just gravy/pudding (well the healthy versions of those) since I am already exceptionally happy with all of my work up till now... So a "wake up call" is probably way too harsh- more like a "good reminder".So the results from my work this past week show that I should just keep at it, keep motoring, and I'll hit 170 soon enough. Maybe not for a few months, but that's fine. Once I hit 170, I think that'll be an ideal place to start working hard at maintenance only, and not pushing to lose further weight from there. It's gonna be hard to get down these last 7 lbs or so but shouldn't be impossible. It is definitely getting harder than previous weight loss stages though... I can tell I am getting closer to where "I should be" and so in general the weight loss has slowed down a whole lot. I'm finding it's also quite tough to stay under my max calories per day (which is now approx 1660) on days where I don't go to the gym and do a 350-ish calorie workout on the Elliptical for 30 minutes. Jess suggested pushing some Elliptical days to 45 min instead which is a great idea, I've done 30 min now solidly for the past 6 months or so, I can definitely do more comfortably.
Anyway long story short- the fat test was not amazing "congrats you've lost 2 percent more fat!" answer. So this means more diligence in my food choices and getting back to the 30-min per day weight loss cardio plan is my main aim for the next while yet. I tried that all week, made it very diligent, went 5 days... And lost 1.5 lbs this week. Crazy.
So yes to summarize where I'm at after this experiment: definitely I am interested to try new things like classes but in general 4 or 5 days a week I am still keen to keep at it at the cardio which is very measured and seems to work well for my body to keep losing weight. I'm gonna keep pushing at that till I get closer to 170.
When I get to 170 I want to switch to "maintenance mode"- which will be more strength focused and also would be a really good fit for those classes. I think at that point I may make some diet changes that would help me increase muscle mass, and pair that with more lifting and more of those classes - and less straight, every day cardio. At that point it'll be more important to improve muscle and less important if I miss a day here and there due to blasting myself like we do in organized classes. But for now it seems the 30-min elliptical per day is a pretty epic knock-out punch to fat for me. Till I hit 170, I think "stepping it up" should actually probably just be "making sure I go every day and record food more carefully"... As that seems to be working like magic :)
Anyway, I'm definitely still very pleased with this progress and it's insane to think I've lost 16% of my entire body weight since last September, in only the last 10 months. But on the same token, I'm not ready to settle yet and say, "Good enough"... I can still do better. This part - losing that last 5% near the finish line - was always gonna be the hardest part.

World Domination Summit
Oh maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan.
My friend Jess aka "Chiewe" ;p just pointed me towards the epic Chris Guillebeau's "World Domination Summit". Chris is the amazing writer of the blog "The Art of Non-Comformity" and has a really incredible way of approaching work, life, travel... what an awesome dude.
Apparently I am super late to the game! They just had their 2nd conference and I'm sad I'm only hearing about it now!! Hopefully the conference next year doesn't overlap with my east-coast of Canada trip... if it doesn't it looks amazing and I gotta check this out. Looks like my old OSSSA crowd, a group of like-minded, hard-working, driven people... excited about life and possibility at any age... and keen to work hard to make a difference in their own lives and to the world around them. Sounds like my kind of crowd... to the MAX!
"How to Live a Remarkable Life": ohhhh man

Another interesting article about this epic event:
http://www.getrichslowly.org/blog/2011/06/11/world-domination-and-the-pursuit-of-happiness/
As the Josh Radner film title suggests, "happythankyoumoreplease" :) Count me in. This movement is friggin' AWESOME and I am totally on the same page as this unique and awesome crowd... it just feels right. What a cool idea. Check out this video too... Chris says how they integrated the event with the city of Portland too, to introduce people to the local food trucks and events and nature... amazing. I love it.

Young Alumni Medal from the University of Waterloo!
Hi friends,
I've just been given word that I am allowed to mention this online now... and here we go!
I am insanely excited to announce that I have received the 2012 Young Alumni Medal for the Faculty of Mathematics at the University of Waterloo!!!!! Ahhh!!!!!!
This is incredibly exciting, unexpected, and overwhelmingly super awesome. Thank you so much to the Dean of Math and the committee, and to the mystery person who nominated me. I had no idea I was even in the running for this, and it was a very welcome and truly magnificient surprise.
I'll be heading back to Waterloo in September to receive the award. Thank you very much to everyone who has helped me achieve my level of happiness and appreciation for my life - from my family to my close friends, to teachers and mentors and colleagues, all the great people along the way who saw someone in bright shoes and gave me the benefit of the doubt. :) Thank you to my parents and sister Norma for instilling in me the ideal to not only look out for yourself, but to do your very best to encourage those around you as well.
Thank you to those kind people over my past 30 years who met this unusually enthusiastic and overexcited guy and rather than seeing immaturity and chutzpah, saw through to my dedication and passion and understood where the energy and intention was coming from. Those people really went out of their way to help me carve my own path in this world, and have guided and encouraged me through thick and thin.
For those interested, here are the requirements for the medal:

Peru/Brazil/Argentina Day 8: Machu Picchu!
May 10, 2012
Peru Day 8: Machu Picchu!
And now for the last day of the Inca Trail trek. We started the day "bright and early"... well, at least early... at 3:40am. Ughhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! haha. We did a quick packup and brekkie of pancakes, jam, coffee, and said goodbye to all the porters taking the early train back. After a quick cleanup, we rolled out and hauled it to a big lineup that was only 5 minutes away. This was a lineup at the final checkpoint before heading up to the Sun Gate above Machu Picchu, and they held us there until it was safe and light enough to start the trek. We were there for about 30 min, slowly waking up. We got through the checkpoint and walked up towards the Sun Gate. This trail was super easy in comparison to the other days of the hike, or "easy" I suppose compared to any reasonable hike we've ever done :) There were still some big steps up and some very steep parts that required you to almost crawl up.
We got to the sun gate, threw our packs down and took a bazillion photos. It was gorgeous. Edwin had said a few days before that Machu Picchu was not the "goal" of the hike, and we should make sure to enjoy the journey... but now that we had arrived it was clearly our reward for our hard work. To see it this early in the morning from the sun gate was truly spectacular. Machu Picchu started first mostly in shadow, and as the clouds cleared further and the sun continued to rise, it kept revealing more and more of the amazingness. We took a bunch of group photos and basked in the epicness. We walked onwards towards Machu Picchu and there were some G-d rays shining down on the site as we looked back towards the Sun Gate. Beautiful!!!!!!!!!
As we got down to the main site, we exited nearly right away to drop off our bags and chill out for a little bit before walking back in and exploring. It was really funny, we felt like (and looked) a whole lot different that all "those darn tourists!" Everyone seemed immaculately dressed compared to our 4 days of blood, sweat and tears (mostly sweat and grime) to get there. People seemed very "proper" whereas we'd literally JUST peed on the side of the trail not 30 minutes before, as was the general custom over the past 4 days. So, it was nice, but also weird, to be suddenly thrown back into actual society. I'd forgotten that if I wanted to use the "restroom", I should probably exit the park and go use the pay toilets and not just proceed to whip it out amidst many other non-Inca Trail tourists. These things you forget when you're away from non-hikers for too long :)
Now pack-less and all weighing at least 25 lbs less, we were free to sit in the sun and enjoy Edwin's description about the site and history of its "discovery". Machu Picchu is not a "ruin" because it was never destroyed by the Spanish, and its discovery by American Hiram Bingham was more like an "uncovering" as Edwin explained. Hiram Bingham had heard about this epic city built up in the hills but people only knew some stories here and there about it. He cobbled together info from many different people and finally found his way there. Though when he found it, it was already inhabited by 2 families!! The majority of the site was fully covered in brush and trees and the people were living amongst it. After this began a huge excavation and many artifacts were found.
We walked around to different places inside of Machu Picchu with Edwin, and he explained lots of different things. The stone walls were round and meticulously crafted. Edwin told us how they broke large rocks apart, and it was quite ingenious, they took wood and made small holes in the boulders along straight lines in the rock. Then then pushed the wood into the holes in the rock and poured water onto the wood. The wood expanded and then cracked the boulders along those straight lines, breaking them apart. Very cool!
Edwin continued to tell us more about the site, why the Spanish never found it (you can't see it from anywhere really) and he also discussed issues with its preservation. It was all fascinating info. He then showed us the meaning of the Southern Cross, the "Chicana". This has an Incan spiritual meaning and relates to all the things we've learned so far on the trip - the 3 statues together that we've seen is related to this too, the Condor ontop of the Puma ontop of the Snake, representing the upper world, the current world and the under world. Very fascinating and an awesome explanation tying all of the pieces of our trip together.
It was about 11am and the heat was really getting to me, I was pretty darn exhausted and was getting dizzy and was pretty psyched just to head to Aguas Calientes. We had fortunately planned another full day at Machu Picchu for tomorrow due to Frank's genius, so we could easily see it all tomorrow. So we decided to head out and take the bus to Aguas Calientes and get out of the sun. We dropped stuff at our hotel and it was SO awesome to be back in Civilzation. Clean, hot water!! Showers!!!!!!!!!! We were so psyched and all took showers as quickly as humanly possible. I have never been so happy to see a goose/duck-shaped folded towel in my life.
We then headed out to meet the rest of the group at El Allyu restaurant, a place where everyone from Peru Treks tends to meet up. Kev and I shared a Family Sized "Pizza de Fruitas" which was FRIGGIN' AMAZING. Plantain, pineapple, peach and papaya!!! Whaaat! It was so glorious. Also: Beer!!!
I gave everyone Canada flag patches and pins (as usual!!) That was fun and I think people liked them, those always go down well on trips! We gathered tips for our guides, similarly to how we'd done the night before for the porters. I got together an email list so we could easily get people in touch with each other post-trip. We also got a certificate of completion of the trek, which was super nice! And then it was time for some sad goodbyes... but not really. Just, the Quechua saying goes, "See you in another life". What an amazing trip. I am so happy to have had such funny and motivated and interesting fellow travelers to make new friends with. What an amazing trip, what an experience, and I was so glad to share it with such a great team. A "family". :)
After lunch and goodbyes, Mary walked with us over to a corner store and helped us buy Peruvian chocolate (she's been living in Peru for a while and knows everything well). The key winner here was the Nestle Sublime Extremo. Jess in particular loved that one and we crushed a few of them in next-to-no time at all :) And so begins the great journey in replenishing our calories from the past few days :)
We headed back to the hotel and chilled out for a while, there was internet so it was a good time for some chillin' and Facebooking. We had a really large lunch so we went out after several hours to just wander and look for some smaller items to bring back to the hotel for dinner.
I found some yoghurt and excitedly bought it, later to find out it had expired a few months before and I didn't want to chance it. We got more chocolate of course, and some juices. We also happened upon the local fruit market which totally rocked. We got mini-bananas, chirimoya, passionfruit and queso cheese. Frank, Jess and I sat on the balcony and just looked out over the city of Aguas Calientes, only a few lights still on in the distance. It was so nice and just perfect to enjoy the breeze and talk about the great experience we all just shared in together.
And now time for bed!!!!!! Oh man - soft beds, alpaca fur blanket, pillow... how sweet it is!!!!!!!!!!!!
