This week has been great!I’ve gone for a walk almost every morning walking uphill for the first 30-40 minutes.I am very pleased with myself that I haven’t had to stop during that whole journey.I find that I am getting much more cardiovascularly fit!Each day I try to go a little further than I did the day before.On Monday I walked up to “the first lake” taking the “pipeline” which essentially is a path that goes almost directly up the mountain.
This is the pipeline path looking up:
This is the pipeline looking down:
This is the first lake (it is the lowest of a series of lakes that are managed to help control the water coming down coal creek that feeds our electric generator):
I didn’t stop at all.On Tuesday I went to a lookout above the second lake from the bottom in 41 minutes.I only stopped to take pictures. This first one is the second lake from the bottom.
Then these are some of the views I saw from the top:
Then on Wednesday I decided to take the road and see how high I could get.It is a gentler way, but much longer.I got to another great lookout, but I didn’t have the camera.Yesterday was intercession day at the base, so I didn’t have time to take my early morning walk.Today I walked to another place above the first lake, but I took the road to get there.It took about 45 minutes or so, and had some great views too.I am loving to go walking in the early mornings.Although it is cold outside, the mud is all frozen, and the snow stiff enough to hold my weight, as long as I go on the snowmobile tracks since they pack the snow underneath.
These are breath taking pictures. Oh how I miss the mountains!
Congratulations in your diet and loosing weight. What a beautiful walk to just experience God's creation and talk to Him.

How much snow is left ? Meaning how many feet now ? Do you see patches of ground yet ? I might have asked this on the phone but my brain is in OVER FLOW right now.
Sending you blessings and ((hugs)) my SSiC

One thing have I desired of the Lord that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life. To behold the beauty, the beauty of the Lord. To inquire in His temple, the temple of the Lord.
This is my everyday thoughts about being a mother to three little ladies (10, 8 and 3) and a toddler son. We serve God full-time, and I am a physician assistant. I have the most awesome husband in the world. I am trying to seek God with all my heart, all my soul, all my mind and all my strength.
