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.

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.
