Check out part 1 here When we finally got to the top of St. Vrain mountain, the views were really breath-taking and if the wind hadn’t been so bad we would have spent a lot more time up there. We knew there was a chance of a storm rolling in so we kept a closeContinue reading “St. Vrain Mountain Trail, Allens Park CO 6/15/13 – Part 2”

Weigh in day 6/14/13 No Change….
I am OK with this no change. It was a tough week in terms of staying on track so in and of itself, not gaining is a win. Colorado has again been racked by wildfires and the devastation is staggering. There is so much beauty here and seeing it lost in a matter of daysContinue reading “Weigh in day 6/14/13 No Change….”
Twin Sisters Trail, Estes Park/Rocky Mountain National Park *Repeater* 6/8/13
Last week when I was hiking with my girlfriends, we were admiring Twin Sisters (Hike details here) at all of our different amazing view spots. I think it took me 3 looks to realize that there was not all that much snow showing at the summit and by the end of that hike I knew thisContinue reading “Twin Sisters Trail, Estes Park/Rocky Mountain National Park *Repeater* 6/8/13”
Weigh in Day 6/7/13 -1.2lbs, 54.2lbs down 35.8 to go.
I am thrilled with the loss this week! I have been working out extra hard, not because I was focused on weight loss( even though I was sort of) but because I wanted to get extra conditioning for our weekend. We have decided that we are going to really push our hiking these next 4Continue reading “Weigh in Day 6/7/13 -1.2lbs, 54.2lbs down 35.8 to go.”
Thank you!
Yesterday I was sitting at work in conference call hell, which often leads to me playing games on my phone (Shhhhh). When my phone kinda started blowing up with wordpress notifications. Needless to say I didn’t get much game playing done and thank goodness no one asked me any questions on my calls becauseContinue reading “Thank you!”

Weigh in day 5/31/13 +.4, 53 lbs down 37 to go
Well I gained this week. It stinks, but it could be worse. Sometimes I hate being a girl, actually about once a month I hate it. It’s not an excuse but a reality and typically it is like a 3 pound gain so I will take less than half a pound knowing that I likelyContinue reading “Weigh in day 5/31/13 +.4, 53 lbs down 37 to go”
Ben Tyler Trail #606 – 3rd time is NOT the charm! 5/25/13
Ahh how we are gluttons for punishment! This past week was another perfect, warm week in Denver and as a result we convinced ourselves that we would try Ben Tyler ( Hike Details here) this weekend in hopes the snow was manageable enough to make it to the top. I cannot tell you how desperateContinue reading “Ben Tyler Trail #606 – 3rd time is NOT the charm! 5/25/13”
