Whenever I go out-of-town, especially to sea level, coming back to Denver is an adjustment, an almost 2 week adjustment. Since I went to LA for my annual girls trip last Thursday and returned just this past Tuesday, I was not optimistic about my ability to hike anything new or tough. We decided to goContinue reading “Repeater hike(s) Roxborough State Park – Carpenters Peak & Fountain Valley Trail 1/25/13”

Weigh in day 11/30/12 +.8 = 46 LBS down 44LBS to go……
I was way too thankful last weekend, I mean WAY TOO! I think the hardest reality was that I did so well until Thursday and then it was a nonstop eating marathon, like the flood gates had opened on all crappy for me food in ridiculous amounts.
