Well I've been wanting to do this for a while, I can't believe I finally DID IT! I'm SO TIRED, but SO HAPPY!!!! YAYYYYYYY!

Here are 2 pics of me at the top (Hollywood sign in the back as well as the city of L.A.), and finally back down at the front of the canyon. This was a huge victory for me...and it was a beautiful day here in Southern CA.

YAY!!! Think of how far you've come!! Congratulations on conquering that climb!!!

Loving it... well done you... you look great too!

You inspire me! Way to go - I can see how happy and excited you are in the pictures! And you looks so healthy.

You go champ!

What an accomplishment! You did it and are all the better for it .... Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats!!! What a great NSV!!!

Woo hoo! You look amazing, and SO happy! Congrats on your big hike!

Thank you sleeve family!!! I still can't believe I really did it. I am sooooooo sore today! The awesome thing is that my knees are fine, which is truly a miracle, and I know it's because of the 53 lbs. I no longer have to carry around with me.

My next goal, is to catch a wave and surf. I'm praying that will happen this summer yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!

OMW CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! I am so very happy for you!!!! You look so tiny in your pics too, you are totally rocking that sleeve and your new life!!

So, maybe one of these days we can all meet up for that hike... YEAHHHH!!!!

Diva let's DO IT! I only went to the first peak, there's even a higher peak (yikes), that would be awesome to do. Maybe we can set up a date at our March meeting, BUT it will have to be in the Spring or Winter, the Summer heat will KILL US LOL! It was almost 80 degrees yesterday which was pretty bad, and it's WINTER (????). Gotta love CA

Okay well, I'm going to have to say next Winter - I don't know if I'd be ready for that kind of a hike as Spring is only a few months away. I still have to go easy on my knees - still a bit too heavy for anything too strenuous on them yet. But yeah, I'm down for it! You should go again in Spring and I'll join you all for a Winter one next time!!!!

Congrats Mrs. S - you continue to amaze me with your determination. I wanna go too. Now I have to take action. Thanks for the picts to inspire me.

You are AMAZING!

A W E S O M E !!!
