SEPTEMBER STARTS WELL

September 1 was Day 34 on my drastically reduced caloric consumption plan.

This is turning into a sushi diet, I have had sushi for lunch or dinner many times.

I expected to take a significant walk on Saturday.

By the time I had finished, I had longest 18 miles.

It was longest urban hike since my Long Beach hike back on December 27, 2017 on Long Island.

.

I would like to say that this extra long 18 mile hike felt great.

And it kinda did....

But when I had a sushi meal and got up to walk home the four tenths of a mile, I was hobbling like an old man... 

This is often how I feel after one of my extended hikes... so no worries there.

.

I do know this, in late July when my weight catapulted over 280 pounds, I was finding it difficult to walk half a block... so I can safely say that I have completely eradicated that very lame condition.

.

I think on Sunday, I might not walk at all... or I might walk just two miles or so..... just to keep my legs loose...

SOFT FOODS

After my gum surgery on Monday, I can't say that I have been enjoying my 'soft foods' diet. I have ben eating too much yogurt and too much cottage cheese. I was supposed to stay away from hot foods for a couple of days. Me thinks I am ready to add oatmeal to my diet now. Tuesday started with an appointment in Chicago. Afterwards, I drove back home to squeeze in a five mile urban hike and then headed to Indiana to be in place for a 9:00AM Eastern Time Appointment in a small town about 45 minutes east of Lafayette. 

Here's the thing about taking the time to squeeze in a five mile urban hike. It takes just a bit over an hour.  The time needed for a one hour workout at a gym is elongated by the time necessary to get to the gym, change clothes, workout and then get to wherever you are going next. A five mile walk from home starts the moment you step outside. As the winter months settle in, I may consider a gym membership, but for now I am sticking with my outdoor walking.
