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”
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!)

Healing Hike – Deer Creek Canyon, my home away from home 7/20/13
I have learned so many big lessons these past 2 weeks, most I don’t ever want to talk about. The big word I want to focus on is I LEARNED a lot last week…. outside of those things I never want to talk about here, I did learn that while Aaron and I can sitContinue reading “Healing Hike – Deer Creek Canyon, my home away from home 7/20/13”
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 5/17/13 NO CHANGE
no change… which I guess means I need to change, right!?!?!? The one thing I do have to say is that I am definitely getting smaller even if I am not losing weight, maybe I need to finally do some measurements. I hate measuring but I need to change-up something to stay motivated! Stay tuned….Continue reading “Weigh in Day 5/17/13 NO CHANGE”
Belcher Hill Trail *Repeater Hike*, White Ranch Park – Golden Co 4/27/13
There is that moment every week when I commit to a trail and I always hope that the weather will let us do it. This week the trail I committed to was too high up after yet another 2 day snow storm on Monday and Tuesday. All week I debated how smart it would beContinue reading “Belcher Hill Trail *Repeater Hike*, White Ranch Park – Golden Co 4/27/13”
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”
