Since I started hiking to healthy over a year ago I have been really good about not drinking on Friday nights before our hike, while it is my cheat day I never want to run the chance of a hangover hindering my hike on Saturday. That’s not to say that I still don’t get myContinue reading “Hiking out of a Hangover – Deer Creek Canyon 4/13/13”

Weigh in Day 4/12/13 -.8, 51lbs down 39 lbs left to go
Another small loss, but a loss none the less! It was a tough week for a weird reason, I wanted to celebrate reaching this milestone but my typical way of celebrating is to eat which isn’t the way to go this time. So all I focused on was not going over my calories each dayContinue reading “Weigh in Day 4/12/13 -.8, 51lbs down 39 lbs left to go”

To hike or not to hike….. Snow Storm wins
We had big plans last night for our hike today not that it was new one but that we were going to hammer out a lot of miles regardless of the “storm ” they were predicting…. 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”

Weigh in Day 2/22/13 +.6 lbs, 47 lbs down 43 Lbs to go
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.
