On Saturday it seemed like Spring was finally here! It was sunny and warm out! Which was nice because it’s been a particularly rainy (and snowy!!) winter here in Oregon –just on Friday it was hailing!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We’ve done this hike once before<\/a>. And just like that first time, we had a hard time finding the trailhead. (Here is the hike info:\u00a0Gresham Butte-Butler Creek Hike<\/a>.) This time we somehow found the OTHER trailhead for this hike.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I took a photo of the street sign so we could remember where this trailhead is.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

From the entrance we started going up hill pretty quickly. It was slow and steady, nothing too crazy. It definitely got my heart pumping though!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It was probably about 60-65 degrees out and the sun felt so wonderful! Logan was loving it, Bella was happy to be outside. I was feeling pretty good physically, even though the hills were a challenge. Slow and steady.<\/p>\n

We got to the top of the massive<\/em> hill and stopped for lunch. Seriously, the hill was so steep! I wish the photos did it justice.<\/p>\n

I packed us low-carb lunches. Michael had a low-carb wrap and I skipped the wrap and just did my meat and cheese wrap with hummus and carrots, olives and strawberries. It was a good and filling lunch (but after the hike I kind of crashed).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Logan got a bottle and then we let him run around a bit. I posted a video on Instagram<\/a> if you’re interested.<\/p>\n

Bella was so happy to be out in the woods! (So were we.)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

After lunch we hit the trail again. It was a steep down hill hike.<\/p>\n

We saw the creepy old school bus in the woods!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I knew we were both going to feel this hike the next day because of the downhill part! My glutes were really firing as we descended!<\/p>\n

Logan fell asleep about 5 minutes before the end of the trail:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Here are my calories and stats for the hike:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The hike was “short” (we could have made it longer) but it was a workout! Look at our elevation and my heart rate:<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

It was a really nice workout outside in the sunshine for a change! Logan slept the whole way home and Michael successfully transferred him to his crib without waking him up. I gave Bella a bath because she was caked in mud from the hike!<\/p>\n

And that’s about when I crashed. I just didn’t have enough carbs (and maybe fat too?) for the hike. This was the first time since starting my diet that I crashed after a workout. I had some peanut M&M’s, a glass of milk and waited to see if that helped. Not quite. So I had some caffeine (diet soda) and 3 ritz crackers with peanut butter on them. I took a short nap and then felt a whole lot better. I’m a bit disappointed in the bonk, but….live and learn.<\/p>\n

To wrap up this post I’d like to share a few Easter photos because Logan looks adorable. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
