Right on! What river? How many days? Weather? Type of boat? I have a "recipe" in my account called "Rafter Rations." It's about 3500 calories mixed of fat, carbs, and protein. I just log that for days on the river; I figure it's a reasonable enough estimate.

The Salmon River in central Idaho. 5 days. Unusually heavy rain. We fish from an aluminum drift boat. Caught two steelhead - both were wild and so were released.1 -

Lower Salmon (Hammer to Heller)? I haven't done the lower in years. Such lovely beaches. We had a chance to float the Middle Fork in June 2016 at about 2.7 feet. It had been almost ten years since I'd been there. I haven't run the Main since probably 2014 or so, and it's been well over a decade since I've been to the lower. We were going to go last year but picked up a Rogue permit instead. So much closer, but those beaches!

18/10/18 - 171lbs - I started going to the gym 3 times a week from the 1st of October, and I’m calorie counting trying to stay below 1500 most days, and below 1000 calories two days a week (sort of like the 5:2 diet).
25/10/18 - 169lbs - getting into a good routine with the gym now, so making more of the time there productive. Doing a fair bit of weight training as well as cardio now which has meant I’m not loosing weight as fast, but seeing a change in my body strength and definition. I struggle keeping calories on target on the weekends, but I’m going to make an extra effort now to stick to the plan and not put on weight before gym on Monday!
Well done, sounds like you are well on track for hitting 31 Dec at 2lbs a week.
Thank you for the support!
I have actually just been on holiday this week and put on one pound-but not feeling too down about it. Fasting today. Looking forward to getting back in the gym on Monday too.
We can do this! Keep going everyone x0 -

Weighed yesterday (10/25) 170.2
Feeling very angry and frustrated. In the past when I reach 170 I tended to get stuck, would feel discouraged, then would give up and gain the weight back. This time around I thought there had been personal progress, but here I go again gaining the wight back! I'm super pissed that I'm getting stuck in the same cycle. I need to do something to truly stop this craziness. I'm not going to give up on my long-term goal of 160 by the end of the year, but I AM throwing in the towel on my October goal of 165. Smh. If I keep fighting myself I will end up with more self sabotage. Tapping out for a few days seems logical. November 1st I will recommit.
Keep going! I felt the same I gained a pound on holiday, I’m doing the same goal too currently 170lbs and goal weight 160! I get stuck at this weight too but try not to feel downheartened -push through it and you’ll see results soon enough x

I have never been on the section from Vinegar through Riggins to Hammer Creek. One year we did the Middle and the Main back-to-back. That was great. We had two people who could only do the first trip, so we shuttled their vehicle with a small resupply and clean groover, and we left some trash for them to haul out. Very nice. If the water level had been lower, we would have gone all the way. It was too high to run Slide.
One year on the Main, we had a guy who was very watch-oriented. He wanted to know if we were going to choose to run the trip on Mountain or Pacific time. I said it depended which side of the river we were camping on. He said no. Being my permit, I decided we'd run on "Moucific Time." That's halfway between the two. He first said he couldn't set his watch like that, but then realized he could. It was a good decision as we were closer to actual solar time sine we were on the edge of the boundary between the zones. That was fun. I think that was the trip we had a jetboat driver meet us at the take-out before the trip and jet shuttle us up to the put-in. We got to scout the river for a few hours and then spend a week floating back down. That was a hoot.
Don't forget to reset YOUR clock tonight if you're of that persuasion. I don't recommend Moucific Standard Time or Moucific Daylight Time unless you're on the Salmon River, though.

Been away at a work conference in the US for a week, so overall not too unhappy that I have been flat for the last couple of weeks. Jet lag, carb cravings and hotel food are never great for losing weight, but at least I managed to exercise every day.
Today's motto then... "Once more into the breach dear friends!"
