details....

It is interesting to me how foreign a concept it is that I live in the woods. Funny, because it's just my current life... and while I love it, I don't think its all that interesting! None the less, I have promised for a while to do a little accounting of what my days (and eating!) on the trail looks like... so here you go!
630 am- Get up, take down the tent and pack up... and eat breakfast! Usually, pop tarts and a granola bar.
730 or 8- start walking (for some reason usually uphill =))
after 5 miles- snack time! usually crackers and pb and craisins, then more walking!
after 5 more miles- lunch! pb or cheese bagels, a granola bar and a candy bar
then more walking until 530 or 6- arrive at the shelter or campsite. set up tent and get water, hang my pack... eat a snack (candy bar usually!)
then, dinner time- ramen and tuna or mac and cheese, cookies, and crackers or a snack bar.
around 8- hang the bear bag and bed time!

See? THRILLING!!

Oh and in case you wonder... here's what I ate on my zero day in Rutland- 2 chicken chimichangas for breakfast, a banana muffin, 2 donuts, an iced coffee, a chicken bacon panini and chips, a salad, an italian sub, a pb brownie, and 2 ice cream bars! seriously.

For the sake of full disclosure I will say I have lost a significant amount of weight... but I don't reccommend eating tons of candy and walking 8 to 10 hours a day as a diet plan. wait. Yes I do!! hahaha
