KANKAKEE RIVER STATE PARK BIKE HIKE TRAIL

There are not too many effective ways of avoiding rush hour traffic on a Friday afternoon in Chicago. Yesterday I found one way to do it. After finishing my last appointment on in Mahomet, Illinois, I was headed home. On the way home I stopped at Kankakee River State Park and found a trail which followed the path of the Kankakee River. I parked my car. I walked 5 miles in a northwesterly direction and simply turned around and retraced my steps and walked 5 miles back to the car. By the time I arrived home, I missed most of the Chicago Friday afternoon traffic. 

I snapped this photo right before I turned around and headed back to the car

Considering that the official start of summer is still  more than 10 days away, the temperature of 93° seemed a bit on the warm side when I started my ten mile hike.  However, the 'wind chill' made it seem like 97°!

231.9 pounds
I am now down ten pounds from my recent high point on May 7th when I was on the 'dl' (disabled list) from the hernia.  From my initial starting point of 309 lbs on December 24th, 2014, I am down 77.1 pounds. Just this past week I successfully shed 3.3 pounds.  IT WAS EASY!  All I had to do was keep my daily caloric intake to about 3000, and walk more than 70 miles!  (Ok, I lied, it was not easy) The 'easier' way would have been to cut down on my calories far below 3000 per day. You know what? This is more or less 'working' for me - so I will stick to it...
