18 mile SF hike with hills: 206 floors climbed (2060 elevation)

I'm very behind on emails. Work was pretty intense, but really great too. I worked M-F. It rained pretty hard on a couple of days, so I ended up just riding my bike twice this week. I normally enjoy riding my bike in the rain, but this week I felt like I wanted to walk in the rain instead. I also felt a bit unfocused, so it wasn't the time to mix it up in stormy traffic.

Yesterday DH and I finished the taxes. That was kind of a bummer, so I decided to spend the rest of the day outdoors. I put on some sturdy shoes and headed to my favorite stomping ground, SF. I walked 18 miles and sought out hills. I got my 200 floor badge. For those of you not on fitbit, that's a 2000' elevation gain on the walk. Came home and slept for almost 12 hours. Today I did yoga (delicious) and walked to Trader Joes and carried home my groceries. That's just about a mile round trip, but the bags were heavy. Farmer's walk!

It was spectacularly beautiful yesterday. I attached a few photos. One photo is a crazy building at UCSF. The foundation is bizarre. It was mild and breezy, but the skies were blue and clear. I headed out to some neighborhoods I hadn't visited before, including the area up the hill from UCSF. You can hike through some posh neighborhoods, all uphill, and eventually end up at a trailhead into the woods. It's way up in the hills, so the drunks aren't up there. It's a beautiful stand of Eucalyptus trees. The recent rains meant it was so fragrant. What a surprise to find this smack in the middle of a big city. I ended up at up Twin Peaks again, this time at the summit. I also got my badge for 40,000 steps in one day.

Food was good. I was able to hit my food calorie goal each day. I brought my lunch every day. I logged everything except for one day where I later remembered that I missed logging a banana an an orange. Salads reigned supreme.

I absolutely love your week. I love the fact that you either bike or walk to work, just amazing. Those pictures are beautiful. Would love to walk there!!!

I will never get the 200 floor badge, so I'm truly in awe of you !

Awesome, and way to go on meeting your goals for this week. I think now that spring has sprung and I'm following a more formal workout rotation (thus making me more focused overall) that I may be able to get a handle on my eating - it hasn't been horrible, but it also hasn't been great since the start of the year. I'm definately focusing a lot more on greens and water - my two areas of weakness. I love salad, but for some reason have a very time eating it unless someone makes it and presents it to me! I'm not sure why (making a salad isn't really all that difficult!) - I think it is more habit than anything else - I tend to get into a food rut and not think outside the box. I do eat other veggies, but I want to focus on the leafy ones. I also want to get fish in 2x per week, another food I enjoy,

but rarely go out of my way for. I figure I hate the fish oil pills, and would rather eat fresh fish than choke on a fish pill.

Take care!Donna
