My Life Thus Far
I Got My Fill
When Mother Nature gives us a gorgeous Fall day in the Pacific Northwest, I must go hiking! I wanted to anyway, but there really was no way I wasn't going to take advantage of it. I have been longing for something more than just the urban green spaces of Clear Creek trails for awhile now. I got my fill today.
It had to have been two summers ago when we first learned about Ueland Tree Farm in Bremerton. It's private land opened up to the public for recreational activities. Snookums and I took the kids there for a short hike, and I told myself then that I'd come back and do more exploring. I never did. When I was researching hidden local hiking gems, I rediscovered Ueland Tree Farm and remembered how much I wanted to see more. So, that's what the plan was for today. There's two main trails on the property: Lost Creek trail and Chico Creek trail. I went big and did the Chico Creek trail, but there are a labyrinth of service roads I'd like to explore, too. All told, I hiked just under 8 miles today. I got some pretty views of the Olympic Mountains and Puget Sound. The best of both worlds.
S Health said I burned over 1,000 calories during my hike, so that really gets me back in a good place as far as my calorie deficit on the week goes. I didn't eat any extra today, so no negating my efforts. S Health makes losing weight kind of like a game. I love that! I feel like I'm truly going to successfully get to my goal without starvation, or any extreme measures. Just sensible eating, and getting in my steps daily. The magic formula.
I took a preemptive detox bath almost as soon as I got home, because I know I'm going to be sore tomorrow. Hopefully it isn't too bad. I want to go to the gym in the morning, but if I wake up in agony, that might not happen.
I did something I've never done in the 15 years Snookums and I have been together. I sent him some racy pictures. It started last night. I got a gratis at work. The new Beautiful bra that just came out, and I wanted him to see it. I was so proud that it fit! Tonight I took it up another notch and sent him some pictures of me with just a towel strategically placed. I was hoping it would initiate, and I think I might be successful. He just got home from work...
