Food & Exercise -- 10/27/2007 (yesterday)
Yesterday was the final day of the Halloween Safari at the
conservancy. Rather than going to hip-hop in the morning, I went over to the conservancy to help with set-up. After that I went by the winery for a while. In the evening I went back to the conservancy to work as a trail guide, then help with clean-up stuff. It wasn't a great day for eating -- weird schedules, lots of snacking. Food: * 6:00 (home): oatmeal w/ peanut butter, flax seed, & golden raisins {I have occasional nights when I wake up way early -- about 3:45 a.m. that morning -- and can't get back to sleep. When this happens I get up and read, then eat breakfast earlier than usual.} * 9:45 (driving to conservancy): sandwich w/ ~2 oz. chicken breast on whole wheat bun, w/ mustard * 11:45(driving to hardware store to pick up camp fuel for lanterns & grocery store for napkins): granola bar * 12:15 (driving back): fruit, nut, & honey bar {bought at grocery store -- I was still hungry} * 2:30 (winery): 8 multi-grain crackers w/ ~1 1/2 oz. cheddar cheese; 2 glasses wine (chardonnay) * 6:30 -- 9:30 (during Halloween safari): a couple of small cups of cider and of hot chocolate; periodic nibbles of different munchies (nuts, craisins, roasted pumpkin seeds, wasabi snack mix, honey nut cheerios, ginger snaps, peanuts) * 11:30 ("cast party" after clean-up): 1 glass wine (merlot) Exercise: * 10:00 -- 2:00: Safari set-up (but didn't really spend 4 hours doing physical stuff, as I went off in the car to buy camp fuel and napkins -- and the place with camp fuel was ~12 miles away.} Physical work included carrying and setting up tables and chairs, helping set up tents, vacuuming and stuff indoors. * 6:00 -- 11:30: a bit more set-up work (putting food out, etc.); 4 miles of hiking (escorting 2 groups on the 2-mile loop); clean-up/tear- down (taking down tents, folding up and bringing in tables and chairs, stacking a bunch of hay bales (used for campfire seating), etc.) Chris 262/130s/130s |

The Halloween event sounds like fun. I've found that some of the volunteer work can be physically demanding. Our department did a day of yard work for the local Children's Hospital earlier this year and I was exhausted afterward Beverly Yeah, I've been very tired after these work days, too. But it's a good cause, and also good exercise. And Michael, the director, was exhausted too, and he's only 35 :-). (He has lots more stress over the event's success than I do, though -- I just do what I'm told. Anyway, it was very successful. In the 3 nights, we had almost 700 visitors.) Chris 262/130s/130s |
