Last workout before we head out to Canyonlands where I’ll be toting a 28-30lb pack around for approx. 20 miles total distance! I specially designed a paleo menu for this trip after looking at how much garbage is in regular backpacking food. Not only is it RIDICULOUSLY high in sodium but its also contains EXORBITANT amounts of grains and very little fat. I may be taking on extra weight in my pack because of this but to me IT’S WORTH EVERY EXTRA POUND! October will see me eating even better and rocking it hard to get in shape for a friend’s tropical beach wedding in December:) I’ll post my new workout game plan when I get back. GO OCTOBER!
