We went on a sort of impromptu trip up to gold country to spend the day whitewater rafting on the American River. I had never done that before and I had such a fantastic time.

I ate some wonderful meals this weekend. We found a charming local cafe near our hotel and had a delicious dinner there on Saturday night. I was at the mercy of the rafting company for lunch yesterday, but they came through for me. They had wraps--a line up of veggies and some meat and cheese as well as several condiments and sauces to choose from. While they were setting up lunch, they handed each group a can of Pringles (my old nemesis!), but I had been rowing all morning, so I did not hesitate for a minute. (Speaking of which, I was unsure how to record my exercise, as I found no choices on FS that fit, but I figured I was paddling at least half the time, so I entered rowing for a couple hours. Myfitnesspal said that whitewater rafting for 6 hours was over 2000 calories, so my 3 hours of rowing entry doesn't look so outlandish!) The family was starving by the end of the day and stopped at a steakhouse on our way back home. I ate too much bread and then followed up my big meal with a piece of chocolate cake that we all shared.

It was a fantastic experience and our family all loved it. I felt so good, so fit all day, paddling through the rapids. Although my muscles are not happy with me today, I could feel how all that gym time has paid off.

Sounds like a blast!! I haven't been rafting but canoeing on the rivers here. We were planning that trip again this week with the kids but we have had so much rain the rivers are too dangerous for novices and I am very leary about taking 6 teens by myself. Am sure you burned any excess calorie off!!!
