Hiking up an appetite

Almost a month into my move over to Colorado, Yoshi and I finally went on our first hike! It was the Mushroom Rock trail over at the Red Hill in Carbondale.

It was definitely a beginner's trail, which took us about 30 minutes to complete. It probably would have been even quicker if I didn't take the mini breaks to take pictures of the gorgeous view!

Downhill is of course my faaave. :)

I spotted some cacti on the way down too! 

Yoshi was such a good sport.

Then on my drive back home, the hike definitely worked up an appetite! Whoever said 'never to go grocery shopping with an empty stomach' was right, because I almost... ALMOST bought this carton of glazed doughnut holes! GASP! Instead, I went with my favorite chips- (which I munched on while prepping my salad...hehe) 

Three ingredients! Gotta love that.

I picked up some tuna and avocado rolls made with brown rice at the market. There is a little section where the sushi guys come by every day to whip up fresh sushi. Yum!

Then leftover salad on the side...

Of course dessert!

Oh boy, I went aaall out on that lunch. So much for hiking! I probably need to do at least 3 more hikes to burn these kcal!
