Um, I bought myself a fitbit one and I have completely GEEKED OUT. I've had it about a week, and have realized that my problem is not exercise (would be SO SAD without my yoga/running/hiking) but it is knowing about calories in/calories out. So I'm figuring that out.
Dollfaise: I know where you're coming from. A friend once told me "don't eat your emotions!" Easier said than done, but worth the effort. Let us know if you found the gym
Chronostasis: I agree about exercise and mood/body image. It feels good to make progress and be stronger.
Crazygurl61: Glad you're back, even though I wasn't around when you were here before You got this!
Krampus: Poor kitty I put my cat in a santa hat and he HATED it, but he was adorable.
70 miles! Yeah! Kodachrome is awesome! It's in the middle of the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, which might as well be my favorite place on earth. Close to Kodachrome is Grosvenor Arch, which is a giant double arch. GSENM has a lot of dirt roads, and some require 4-wheel-drive. Easy access points (that don't require 4WD) include Lower Calf Creek Falls (6 mile roundtrip hike) and Upper Calf Creek Falls (2.5ish miles roundtrip). Both are spectacular. Lower usually has more people, as it has a campsite. The Burr Trail out of Boulder is amazing too. Anyway, too much info
thesame7lbs: Same here. The public is finally coming around to doing something about our poor air. I use an elliptical at the gym on red air days.
pixelllate: Sorry about your rainstorm. :/
Cookbook is great so far! I wish it had nutritional information for all of the recipes, but whatever, the recipes are made with whole foods and lots of veggies, so as long as I nosh in moderation . . . and your cat is cute.
