A couple of weeks ago I had the best visitor in town….my sister! While we were planning her visit, she let me know she wanted to see more of Colorado and to see it the way I have been seeing it, by hiking. We only had 5 days to visit and hike, so likeContinue reading “Spruce Mountain Trail, Larkspur CO (Repeater) 9/26/13”

Some times it is just hard to keep it together……
Hiking is awesome and makes everything ok for me, but sometimes even hiking can’t make reality better. It has been a REALLY bad couple of weeks for me in areas I will never talk about here, but needless to say I made it out hiking every weekend and I haven’t gained any weight (I haven’tContinue reading “Some times it is just hard to keep it together……”
Waterton Canyon – We chose safety this weekend- Hiked 9/14/13
I don’t know if you have heard about it or not, but there has been some flooding in our beautiful state. When the rain started on Tuesday/Wednesday, all I thought was “yay! It will finally cool off around here.” Then Wednesday night when I was coming home from work, I started thinking, hmmm this hasContinue reading “Waterton Canyon – We chose safety this weekend- Hiked 9/14/13”
Weigh in day 9/13/13 -.2 lbs, 58.8lbs down 31.2 lbs to go
I am once again thrilled with this weigh in….not because I lost a stellar amount of weight but because I got my monthly visitor on Thursday which means that despite the typical weight gain( usually 2+lbs) with my monthly visitor I still managed to drop a very little bit of weight. A great accomplishmentContinue reading “Weigh in day 9/13/13 -.2 lbs, 58.8lbs down 31.2 lbs to go”
Weigh in Day 9/6/13 -1.2 lbs, 58.6 lbs down 31.4lbs to go
I am both surprised and thrilled with this loss… the week was surprisingly hard but I think that the extra hike on Monday really helped me balance all the weirdness that happened throughout the rest of the week. Tuesday Morning I couldn’t get up early and work out, not for lack of desire but IContinue reading “Weigh in Day 9/6/13 -1.2 lbs, 58.6 lbs down 31.4lbs to go”
White Ranch Park – Rawhide Trail, *Repeater* Hiked 9/2/13
When I have a long weekend ahead all I can think about is how I get to hike 2 times in the course of the weekend. A hike we haven’t visited forever was the Rawhide Trail ( Click the link for hike details) at White Ranch Park. It is now an easy hike for us butContinue reading “White Ranch Park – Rawhide Trail, *Repeater* Hiked 9/2/13”
James Peak (2nd time’s the charm!) Via St. Mary’s Glacier, Alice CO hiked 8/31/13
James Peak has been haunting me since we had to turn around with the summit in view because of lightning. I had figured doing a 14er over a long weekend would make more sense but I struggled a little bit at 12,550Ft last weekend so I decided to put it off one more week andContinue reading “James Peak (2nd time’s the charm!)

Weigh in Day 8/30/13 – No Change
I guess after losing that weight I gained back, I can’t be too surprised by not losing anything this week. I am also not all that concerned, it was a crazy week at work and I am just glad I didn’t eat my stress which I normally would do. I kept to working out onContinue reading “Weigh in Day 8/30/13 – No Change”

Catching up – 2 posts in 1. Weigh in and my 8/17/13 hike
It has been a weird and crazy couple of weeks, as a result I have been very neglectful to my blog so I am going to catch it up with this combined post. I have been fighting really hard to not give in to my bad eating habits and it paid off….I managed to takeContinue reading “Catching up – 2 posts in 1. Weigh in and my 8/17/13 hike”
