Mt. Falcon Repeater + more, Jefferson county Open Space Hikes 3/30/13

For the past 4 weekends the “storms” that have hit on the weekend have been underwhelming or non-existentContinue reading “To hike or not to hike….. Snow Storm wins”

I just realized that I have not posted a weigh in lately…. well maybe I didn’t just realize it but I didn’t feel like lamenting about my yo-yoing again before now.

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.
