Both of these areas are very important to me simply because I love to eat and I constantly have to be entertained.
Breakfast
I know that most people out there do not share my same opinions but, I dislike breakfast foods. If I had it my way, I would eat lunch and dinner items for every meal! Regardless, I know that there is some importance in eating a healthy breakfast. So as a hiker, trying to make the most of my morning before rushing out of the camp site, I have gotten into a new routine. Boil 2 cups of water and add 2 packets of oatmeal and pouch of Carnation Instant Breakfast. This powdered packet is the key ingredient to my breakfast in which I attribute my first 10 miles of hiking each day. What's so good about them? Well they provide a poop load of nutrition which I believe your body is craving after making it hike a marathon each day. Secondly they come in 3 different flavors (chocolate, vanilla and strawberry). I like to think of the vanilla packets as my milk powder substitute. It makes my oatmeal (any flavor) taste that much creamier. Chocolate I add to my Starbucks Via Packets when I want to spoil myself in the morning. As for strawberry... It's a wild card. It goes well with many of the oatmeals (blueberry, banana, original, strawberry and even apply) but just have to plan ahead. That's all. To be honest I plan on carrying on this Carnation Instant Breakfast habit to "my real life" once I get of the trail . I am that stoked this goodness!
Entertainment
Listening to nature is great, don't get me wrong... but I do get bored starring at the same scenery sometime. Coming from a very active childhood and even busier adolescent, I sometimes feel that I am wasting my time as I am not efficiently using my time wisely. Enter "Ted Talks". Ted Talks are informational speeches from leaders in their prospective fields. These talks are usually in regards to new technology or ideas that are slightly radical at first, but once they explain the process you end up saying to yourself, " that makes to much sense ". Listening to these 12 minute lectures really gets your brain thinking. In my case, I reflect on the conversation and have a mental brainstorm to see if this concept or adjacent ideas applies to anything in my life/future. Right now my favorite talk was from a person who turned his curb into a garden for people in his community to pick in hopes to combats bad diets and fast foods. He is making gardening "gangster" to appeal to new demographics.
