I left in the form of an ugly cow (not a sacred one), with my awful 135lbs and 21.4BMI (61.2kg).
I decided I had to live this journey, and I mean to really live it and stop thinking about my body.
It was a physical and spiritual journey, hiking almost 200km, from 800mt to 5416mt, walking through the Himalayan peaks that surround the Annapurna, walking with people from many countries.
We started from the rain forest, surrounded by huge butterflies and monkeys, walked through higher woods, where a musk deer suddenly crossed our path one morning at dawn, reached the pine trees, where long donkey caravans carried all kind of objects.
Then we've seen the Tibetan refugees harvesting buckwheat in the sunset, while we made prayer wheels spin, we hiked more, where no more trees grew and yaks are bred, and then climbed up until we reached the ice.
Finally, after the pass at 5.416 (Thorong La), we started the descent through Mustang and the Kali Gandaki, walked some more through a sand storm, and then, it was over.
I will post some pics, but it will take 10 days or so before I get them.
I did lose a little (am currently 132.9lbs, BMI 21.1 (60.3kg), but I think I also gained some muscle weight.
S is moving back from London at some point around the end of November.
In the meanwhile, we all know what I need to do, n'est ce pas?
PS Marcus, did you erase the blog or something? I miss you my friend.

Grazie che te ne sei interessata! ^-^
*Un abbraccio caldo*
Wow, it sounds like you had an unbelievable time. I'm torn between jealousy and just being so happy that you were able to do that :) Congrats on the loss, too, I'm sure all that hiking had loads of metabolism-boosting and muscle-building benefits.
That must have been an amazing experience. It also sounds like the perfect opportunity to get your body in shape but to be honest I think that's not even important.
you must have felt really relaxed on that trip, right? The nature and everything ... :)
Where are the photos by the way?
