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.

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.
