WIAW #12: Summit Lake Hike

As I discussed yesterday, I went out to a hike at Summit Lake on Monday. Summit Lake is in the mountains right outside Mt. Rainier National park. The hike was roughly 5 miles round trip with some beautiful views. If you would like to see more about my hike you can read the post here. What I am going to talk about today for my What I Ate Wednesday is what I ate Monday…Before, during, and post hike.

Breakfast was a bowl of oatmeal with a little brown sugar and some blueberries. Not really my forte, but I wanted something that would give me fuel and not be real heavy. This did the trick.

Here is Mt. Rainier watching me eat a sandwich.

Really though, I was eating a ham sandwich, a side of chips, and water. I also had some granola bars with me…I didn’t eat any but my dad did {he’s usually a two sandwich kind of guy ;}

Sad face.

I had a grande caramel frap. I’m pretty sure my dad got it for me as a ‘good job driving up and down a mountain without wrecking the car and/or killing us.’

You are welcome, dad.

I know, I’m noticing a trend too.

I’m going to be honest, but by this point I probably could’ve eating just about anything, but instead had sausages {one was Italian, the other one was a spinach and feta…Both were chicken} with some grilled veggies {via grill basket}. My mom cooked dinner so we had some tomatoes, fresh basil, and balsamic on top.

Not too shabby.

D e s s e r t

This was a Tillabar {ice cream bar} that was salted caramel.

Another reason why I love the PNW: Tillamook ice cream.

In other news…

Bumpy roads = sensitive FitBits. I definitely did not burn almost 3,000 calories. I do owe this jump in numbers to the really super bumpy gravel roads I went up and down multiple times.

What was a fun thing you did in the past week?

Happy WIAW,
