AW: Health/weight related

[hallows]

I wrote down my weight a month ago. It was my top weight and I decided I never ever want to get there or go higher. I've been working hard and I checked my weight again this morning. I'm down 12lbs!

To celebrate, I'm going hiking and having a picnic with H. Not sure where, though. What's your favorite place to hike?

We just did Kelly Butte not too long ago. It's short and a little steep, but the views are beautiful.

The first bit always comes off fast when there's so much to lose, lol.

Also, I apologize because I just realized this could have just as easily gone in the Friday healthy check-in thread. Now I'm even more an attention hoar!

Thanks everyone!

Jenn & UW - Do any of those need a pass? I've realized some around here do. This is new to me since all the ones I did in NC never did.

Kelly Butte doesn't need a pass.

I recommend getting a discover pass, they're super cheap (like $30), and can be used basically everywhere. Some of my favorite local hikes:

Lake 22
Heather Lake
Cougar Mountain
Tiger Mountain
Mt Si (big and little)

I also highly recommend this book: www.amazon.com/60-Hikes-Within-Miles-Including/dp/0897326954

at most, you would need a forest parking pass. i think denny creek, you can buy it at the mt.si chevron near north bend...and i'm pretty sure ice caves you can pay in the parking lot. couple bucks..nothing that would/should stop you.

woo! my suggestion was put to use! at the top, a lot of people are playing in the water in their swimsuits..so if it's warm enough/you're willing to, bring swim gear...it's mostly kids, and a few adults in the water...and it's not *that* much water..but it's always been hot whenever we go.
