Deer Creek Canyon, Littleton CO for like the millionth time. Hiked 10/13/13

I will say the weekend when my bestie was here went too fast but it was a really wonderful  48 hour visit.  It is amazing the effect your best friend can have in such a short period of time.  It was so hard seeing her go and I am not typically a very emotional person,Continue reading “Deer Creek Canyon, Littleton CO for like the millionth time.

Mt. Falcon, Morrison CO hiked 10/5/13

I was extra super crazy lucky after my sister left in that my bestie was coming 2 weeks later for a quick visit and she was bringing her youngest son! With that in mind, I decided to hit Mt. Falcon again on the weekend in between visitors.  Plus we got a small snow the FridayContinue reading “Mt. Falcon, Morrison CO hiked 10/5/13”

Mt. Flora Trail (Repeater) 9/29/13

I had grandiose visions of how this hike might turn out…lots of ooooohhhhhhhssss and aaaahhhhsss.  And while  when I planned out it made perfect sense, in the end, the weather sometimes just doesn’t cooperate. We had a crazy good time in Breckenridge and it was hard to crawl out of bed to make our wayContinue reading “Mt. Flora Trail (Repeater) 9/29/13”

Lower Mohawk Lake (Repeater), Hiked 9/28/13

When we got back to our condo after hiking Hanging Lake, the weather actually got worse but that didn’t stop us from hitting the hot tub…..in blizzard type weather.   It was awesome! When I talked to the front desk they said that there would likely be 3-5 inches of snow in the morning butContinue reading “Lower Mohawk Lake (Repeater), Hiked 9/28/13”

Spruce Mountain Trail, Larkspur CO (Repeater) 9/26/13

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”
