CHANNAHON PARKWAY STATE PARK

Friday morning began with an early morning fabric appointment in Mt Zion, Illinois. From there I traveled to Bloomington to sell buttons at a yarn shop. Once I finished my second appointment I headed home.  I stopped in Channahon to visit Channahon Parkway State Park.  My hike in Channahon included a couple of miles along the I & M Canal Trail and when I finished right around sunset, I had logged eleven miles. 

A trail map of the trails at the riverbed. It is always slightly shocking to  hike up and down any hill in Illinois.

SATURDAY IS WEIGH DAY...

I am aware that in general, I am eating (a lot) and I am aware that I am especially eating (a lot) of chocolate and (a lot) of other less than healthy choices.  Fortunately I am also active (a lot) as I walk and/or hike (a lot). Therefore I admit that I am rather joyful to post my weight today which is 221.7 lbs.  My weight has been fairly steady for the past few weeks.  Still, I would like to lose more weight. But what's the hurry?  I do think that I look good now. People tell me that I look good now. And is the collective wisdom of people ever wrong? Oh, yeah....you're right.... Some of the wisdom of the collective masses are moving them to vote for the most corrupt, dishonest, crooked, lying thief that ever ran for any public office probably including town dogcatcher.... So, on second thought, I might not be quite as fit or trim as I have been lead to believe.  Nah, I am sure that it was the intelligent, wise, thoughtful Trump voters who have been telling me that I am looking fit and trim.
