Feeling full but if I don't have the canteloupe, I'll be too hungry to make to lunch. Maybe i'll nibble it on the way to work.
Pattience-I'm not sure what bushwalking is haha For me, hiking is out in nature just trekking along...hmm not sure how do describe it! Often I'm in the mountains, or climbing mountains. For my short hikes I go out into the hills near my house and just focus on speed since they're usually only an hour. I'll include some pics I guess of areas I often go. I love hiking, mountain climbing, and backpacking. Your trip to the Himalayas sounds amazing! Definitely on my to do list to go hiking there I'm heading out on a backpacking trip this summer to the Eastern Sierras. Every year I go on a backpacking trip. My goal is to do a peak over 12000ft since 12000ft is the highest I've gone. You should go out hiking soon if you get a chance, I bet there are many beautiful hiking places where you live
Speaking of hiking, yesterday did a 3 hour, 7 mile hike up San Jacinto. You take a tram car from Palm Springs and I have a summer pass and after a short ride you're out of the desert and up in the mountains. I went to this place called Wellman's Divide that has a great overlook and is at 9700. The trail starts at 8500, then dips down to 8000 before climbing to 9700. I'm getting used to altitude which is good so it was easier than last time. Every summer its a little annoying to have to get acclimatized again.

Dotti, yes your hiking, is definitely what i call bushwalking. I was just trying to see if you meant "a walk".
Anyway if you've got time and feel like it this description you've given and your shots, is exactly what i am trying to get people sharing on the thread i started yesterday in the exercise forum. I'd love to hear more about people's outdoorsy adventures like you are doing. And i can share mine when i do them, which is going to be a lot less often than you. but part of the idea is to try to inspire others a bit too.

I am eating less between meals since i started this. Partly i am doing a bit less, partly because there's no bananas in the fruit bowl, but partly because i am monitoring my appetite better.
Made some blueberry muffins yesterday, so I had a leftover one today Going to have to take a look through this thread and the lunch and dinner threads for some meal ideas.
Egg/egg white omelet with Casa Sanchez salsa roja, vanilla whey shake & instant coffee. A little tofu and canteloupe cubes were eaten in the middle of the night so not so hungry this am.
^ spinach, egg, and ham muffins sound pretty yummy. I always wanted to try making some of those breakfast egg muffins, but always wondered if they would taste as good as they look.
Today, chocolate belvita biscuits and some cherry limeade sparkling ice.

I wasn't sure that this bread would be enough but i am good now.
I feel i am sleeping so much at the moment. I must be a little depressed or getting over a dip in seratonin levels from some recent stress and disappointments. Not to mention my procrastination issue. After talking to my psychologist on Tuesday i decided i'm going to take a break from the markets until september at which time I will try to get back into it. Not sure where i should post this. Probably in the depression support threads. Anyway i felt like i needed to share.
