NEW BUFFALO, MICHIGAN

After my appointment in Royal Oak, Michigan (Detroit suburb) it was time to return home. My original intent was to get home and spend about two hours on the elliptical machine.  Around 5:30PM, still approximately 90 minutes from home, I pulled off the highway and into a beach town called New Buffalo, which is not more than 10 miles from the Indiana border. I parked my car in the town and walked to the beach, and then I walked approximately 3.5 miles on the beach until I finally found a public exit and walked back to where I started from.  My hike did not end until I had logged 10 miles. It is so much fun to have a hobby (hiking) which can be accomplished anywhere and at any time.


.
I didn't have to wait long to find out if these tracks were active...
.
...less than 30 seconds after taking the first picture,  a passenger train came roaring down the tracks.
.
It was not quite as hot as its been all week, although the humidity was a bit higher.
.
I  do not travel at my usual speed on the beach, even though I trekked on the most stable sand at the waters edge.

SATURDAY IS WEIGHDAY.
This morning, the imaginary needle on my digital scale, stopped at 229 lbs. This week I lost an additional 0.6 lbs. It is not a dramatic change, but the direction is good. Since I ballooned up to 242 lbs during my recovery from my hernia, I have lost 13 lbs in two months. Since this is not a race, but rather a long marathon with no finish line... I have every reason to be satisfied with my progress. I am.
