Butler Gulch Snowshoe, Empire CO 2/22/14
On Tuesday when I came home to the huge box with our snowshoes, I kinda wanted to go out right then and to try them out. Unfortunately there is no real snow here on the Front Range so I had to wait until the weekend to get my fix in. I had hiked Butler Gulch(Continue reading “Butler Gulch Snowshoe, Empire CO 2/22/14”
Weigh in Day 2/21/14 -1lb, 55.4 down 34.6 left to go
I have to tell you this week was really tough. There were work lunches I had to participate in that were catered in with no input from the attendees, so my choices were limited and I guessed on calories eaten on those 2 days. I wont lie, I also indulged in the crazy rich, fatContinue reading “Weigh in Day 2/21/14 -1lb, 55.4 down 34.6 left to go”

weigh in Day 2/14/14 -.6, 54.4 lbs down 35.6 left to go
I know the loss isn’t much but in my mind it is huge because I had my monthly visitor hit this week and was still going through it on weigh in day so any loss is monumental at a time like this. I worked out hard all week and patiently waited for my snowshoes toContinue reading “weigh in Day 2/14/14 -.6, 54.4 lbs down 35.6 left to go”

My hiking adventures on 1/18 & 1/19/14
My one goal this past weekend was just to make it above 9000Ft on our hike. I had wanted to hit a new trail and then we got on I70 going west on a Saturday morning. It was a parking lot even before Evergreen which is pretty bad. With the traffic nightmare ahead of us,Continue reading “My hiking adventures on 1/18 & 1/19/14”

This is obviously no shock to me, seeing as I have been dodging the scale for months AND not really tracking my calories. I know it was worse last week and I lost some weight this week. I am ok not knowing how much I lost or how much more the gain back might haveContinue reading “Weigh in Day 1/10/14 +5.4LBs, 53.6 lbs down 36.4 left to go”
