It’s hard to call myself a vegitarian after the bacon chilli Texas burger I had the other day and the mcdonalds cheese burger today and all the jerky. Yikes! My hikers hunger hasn’t really set in and I’m still carrying way to much food. I definitely crave burgers though, vegi or otherwise. Oh, and that mcdonalds was from a trail angel at unicoi. Those people are so nice!

You will learn a lot about yourself and others on this trail adventure!

I just can’t imagine eating such heavy fatty food while doing such intense exercise … maybe it’s just my stomach that would turn in circles if i did that … !

I get the food thing, Costa Rica is no picnic. Had pollo frita yesterday and walked out of the place still alive to my surprise.

I’d listen to your body. With all the physical activity you are doing you need something of substance. From a Chinese medical perspective I’d go so far as saying it’s necessary to have animal products during this journey, and that’s coming from someone that was a vegetarian for 10 years. Of course there are healthier alternatives to junk food, but it’s not like you have to worry about calories and fat.

Yeah, for real. I think I average somewheres around 4500 calories a day, that’s what I use I mean, so I’m not to concerned about my fat intake!
