Candy?

I'm lying here wide awake on the same couch I slept so soundly on last night. My mind is buzzing with all of the little details I need to take care of before we start off on the Colorado Trail Tuesday morning. Andrew joined Jen (my sis), Matt (my brother in law) and I for dinner and in going over all of the calories and necessities for this trip I am honestly feeling a bit unprepared. We hit the grocery store and those of you that know me will not believe the number of candy bars I purchased this evening and now plan on eating over the next 15 days. Fortunately I will also be eating the Clif bars and Shot bloks I brought, but I didn't bring enough so am having to supplement my daily calories with the refined stuff. I'm seriously wondering how my body will respond to this influx of processed food and lack of fresh fruits and veggies. I know there are better ways to plan for this, but the ease of those concentrated calories wrapped in the small packaging is Skurka's style. I'm learning all I can and through this will figure out the things that work for me and don't, but in this learning process I am willing to try and to trust proven methods. (heck, when else will I EVER buy/eat 50 candy bars?)

I hope everyone else is sleeping soundly.
