Two steps forward, one step back….I think I am officially cha-chaing. I am trying really hard to be ok with this slight gain, I understand what is happening logically but emotionally I am a little bummed. It wasn’t an overly tough week but one thing I couldn’t fit in was my weights with all IContinue reading “Weigh in Day 2/22/13 +.6 lbs, 47 lbs down 43 Lbs to go”

Hike aborted
Well we made it to the trailhead and about a mile up the trail this morning. It wasn’t too high or even that hard, but something was off with Aaron’s diabetes and we tried to figure it out but he was feeling too bad so we turned around before it got worse or too dangerousContinue reading “Hike aborted”
Weigh in Day 2/15/13 -1.6 lbs, 47.6 lbs down 42.4 lbs to go
Yay me!!!! I feel like I am truly back on rack with my weight loss journey and personally I feel like 2 weeks of weight loss in a row is pretty awesome. Plus the amount lost isn’t too shabby, especially since I got my monthly pain-in-the-butt-proof-you-are-a-woman-in-the-most-annoying-way-possible on Tuesday. I usually put on a few poundsContinue reading “Weigh in Day 2/15/13 -1.6 lbs, 47.6 lbs down 42.4 lbs to go”

Repeater hike(s) Roxborough State Park – Carpenters Peak & Fountain Valley Trail 1/25/13
Whenever I go out-of-town, especially to sea level, coming back to Denver is an adjustment, an almost 2 week adjustment. Since I went to LA for my annual girls trip last Thursday and returned just this past Tuesday, I was not optimistic about my ability to hike anything new or tough. We decided to goContinue reading “Repeater hike(s) Roxborough State Park – Carpenters Peak & Fountain Valley Trail 1/25/13”
