I have become obsessed with 14ers.com and their facebook page. Reading all the trip reports and seeing the excellent pictures of those incredible people climbing 14ers with like 3 feet of snow already fallen up that high, well it makes me feel pretty wimpy! It has also given me some insight as to how quicklyContinue reading “Bergen Peak, Evergreen CO (Repeater) Hiked 10/19/13”

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 7/12/13 -.4, 56.4 down 32.6 left to go
I am going to be honest, I am suspicious of this loss. Not because we over indulged on vacation last week, we absolutely did, but I kept true to our aggressively active vacation attitude so I wasn’t too worried about a huge gain and I would have been happy with a maintain. We did 3Continue reading “Weigh in day 7/12/13 -.4, 56.4 down 32.6 left to go”

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.”

Weigh in Day 4/26/13 No Change…. 51.6 LBS down 38.4 left to go
No loss this week so I am trying to focus on the fact that I didn’t gain anything either. The weather this week started out very discouraging for a hiker, with more snow on Monday and Tuesday but it did warm up so nicely that by Friday I was practically bouncing on my toes waitingContinue reading “Weigh in Day 4/26/13 No Change…. 51.6 LBS down 38.4 left to go”
Bergen Peak Trail, Elk Meadow Open space *AGAIN* 4/20/13
This week has been tough on so many levels for so many reasons and I know I am not the only one struggling to find balance and meaning. I can tell you that the only thing on our minds yesterday was getting out hiking and getting as high as we could (altitude wise of course),Continue reading “Bergen Peak Trail, Elk Meadow Open space *AGAIN* 4/20/13”
