Fork it Over ... The Urban Hike
06 June 08
Accepted invite to urban hike. Probably should have known that “hike” was the operative word. Cute little waist pouch? Check. Treo? Check. Lip-gloss? Check. Now where exactly is Onion Creek Bar? Why didn't I Google it before I left work? No worries. Moving on.
Hummm, this section of The Heights is exceptionally vibrant. Mental note: return an explore when you are not on CPT and late for an event. Okay. Found it. This place is packed with revelers for 7pm, but it is a Friday. Let's see. Where's my group? Guy with a backpack on the radar screen. Several guys and a few women with backpacks on the radar screen. Big ass backpacks. Are they moving or hiking? That's definitely my group … 41 people draped in luminescent jewelry. My adrenaline is pumped.
I am minus water, snacks, mosquito repellent, a flashlight and other incidentals that only strange people carry in the city. No labeling. We’re working on that. Remember? They are not strange. LOL The hike is seven miles. I supposed it was three. No worries. I’m always up for an interesting adventure.
Breakfast: 2 Eggs Scrambled
Snack: Yogurt & Cheddar Cheese
Lunch: Baked Sweet Potato W/Butter
Snack: Small Piece of Smothered Liver W/Onions
Dinner: Hamburger W/Cheddar Cheese (No Bun), Side Salad (At Onion Creek Bar)
Beverages: Green Tea, Water and Orange Juice
Workout: Walked 7 miles on an urban hike. (If my knees ache in the morning, I'm skipping the park)

Breakfast: Light & Fluffy Smoothie, Skinny (No Turbinado)
Snack: Caterpillar Roll
Lunch: Corn & Smoked Sausage (No rice)
Dinner: Shredded Mini Wheat, 1/2 Banana
Beverages: Orange Juice, Water
Workout: Walked 3 miles in the park. (Knees felt fine)
Note: Survived Saturday without major binge. Weekends are the hardest. So happy I'm not in possession of any Oreos

Breakfast: Shredded Mini Wheat & 1/2 Banana
Snack: Corn & Smoked Sausage (No rice)
Lunch: 3 slices of Spinach Pizza (California Pizza Kitchen/Thin Crust)
Snack: Black Berries
Dinner: Salad, 2 Boiled Eggs
Beverages: Green Tea, Water
Workout: None
Note: Small Snack Binge (3 Brazil Nuts, 4 Sour Starburst)
(Buying the starburst at the grocer today was probably a wrong move. I detect a little bit of self-sabotage.)
