Day 1

It's tricky to log when you are driving and away from any service... but I did pay a lot of attention to what I ate, and tried to stick to a plan as much as I could - packed Almonds and Pretzels pre-measured.  Our trip that was supposed to take us from 8:00am - 10:00pm was more like 9:30am - 2-30am.  Let's see about my daily tally here:

1)  8:00am  Slice of Bacon                                               45 cal
2)  8:00am  Mini Bagel with 1/3 fat Cream Cheese          170 cal
3)  11:00am   1/4 cup Almonds                                       140 cal
4)  11:00am   50 pretzel sticks                                        110 cal
5)  1:00pm     Chocolate Granola Thin                              80 cal
6)  4:00pm     Chicken Pesto Wrap
                      5 slices of chicken lunch meat                   120 cal
                      1 flour tortilla                                              90 cal
                      Spinach & Walnut Pesto                           130 cal
                      1/4 Avocado                                              40 cal
7)  4:30pm    1/3 of a banana from Marshall                      30 cal
8)  7:00pm    Fruit Leather during hike                              40 cal
9)  8:00pm    Finished 1.5 mile hike with 300 ft elevation   -200 cal
10)  8:15pm  Saltines in the car (no restaurant in sight)       70 cal
11)  10:30pm  Chicken berry salad from Wendy's (gross)   estimating I ate 300 cal worth
12)  Rouge bits of cashews since everyone else was eating them    50 cal
13)  Finishing the kids Chocolate Milk                                           85 cal

Calorie Total:  1,300 - not shabby

I felt hungry, especially between 1:00 and 4:00.  Our whole schedule was crazy.  Phil bit off a bit more than we should have attempted in 1 day, but we made it to the farthest NW corner of the lower 48 states.  The hike took us about an hour and a half, but we stopped a lot along the way for photos, there were about 5 or 6 viewpoints.  Here's a family shot at the end of the trail.  It was probably 7:30pm here, so a little early for sunset.


All in all, I'd say success.

For water, not sure I got my 64 oz in for this week's challenge if I only count water.  Let's see, here is everything I drank with 0 calories, but I needed to stay awake to make sure Phil stayed awake:

12 oz of Diet Dr Pepper first thing in the morning
20 oz of Vitamin Water Power C
20 oz of Water from my first water bottle
36 oz of Diet Dr Pepper purchased with the kids lunch
20 oz of Vitamin Water Power C
20 oz of Water from another water bottle during the hike
36 oz of Diet Coke purchased to stay awake

I got 40 oz of regular water, and another 40 of flavored water, maybe that counts.  I had to pee a TON, including a midnight roadside stop along 101.
