Weigh-in after week 2 - and a fantastic hike!

I have been doing good, and this week it really paid off! I do believe that some of Christmas finally let go, but it feels really good nevertheless!

Starting weight: 125.5kg / 276.7lb
Previous weigh-in: 112.3kg / 247.5lb
Current weight: 109.8kg / 242lb

This week's loss: 2.5kg / 5.5lb


So now I just have to keep going, right! There are things going on in my life right now that are really hard, and I can already feel how it's influencing me. I'm not ready to write about it here yet, but I'm in a really dark place at the moment, and I'm trying to get through it as best I can. What I do know, though, is that I'm not going to resolve to food for help. So there's that, at least.


Here are some photos from a hike I did Saturday. It was 10k / 6.2miles, in -7C / 19F - so it was cold. And long! It took us nearly three hours, but it was great! We hiked up to Rundemanen (568m / 1864feet), and walked down past Tarlebøvatnet (Lake Tarlebø) and Lake Svartediket. It was brilliant!

Above the fog!

Ice!

Frozen lake

Icicles!

The radio tower, at Mt Rundemanen

View of the plains

An icy waterfall!

An icy creek!

Please send me good thoughts, I'm going to need it in the coming days/weeks!

  9. Gorgeous pics! And congrats on the weight loss this week!!!

    I keep telling myself. "The world seems to be imploding around me. Curveballs are flying my way and life seems to be going totally against me....but I have ONE thing I can control...and that is my eating and exercise." Focus on that and hopefully everything else will right itself on it's own!

  13. You don't have to share what's up, just know that you're in my thoughts and prayers.
    You are doing awesome, keep working hard.
    I so love the pictures. We have snow with our ice, lots of ice after the last rain/snow storm.
    Take care Maren and remember to lean on the Lord. He has really big shoulders.
    Blessings!
