FORSYTH, ILLINOIS (DAY 66)

Working with a colleague, Wednesday morning, I awoke from my Forsyth, Illinois hotel and headed out for an extremely early, pre-dawn hike. I logged 10 miles before returning for my breakfast.

It's been quite awhile since I have taken a photo of one of my meals.... but c'mon.... today for lunch I had a LOBSER BLT at 'BIZOU' in Decatur, Illinois. Up until today, I didn't know that there was such a thing as a LOBSTER BLT!

CALORIE DEFICIT

It has been a very, very long time since I have achieved a calorie deficit for a complete day. On Tuesday, my eating was controlled, and I did manage nearly a two hour suburban hike in Forsyth, Illinois prior to sunset. I am well aware that the calories that my MapMyWalk application credit me for this walk are likely highly inflated, but still, a 7.5 mile hike has to burn a few calories. I am dangerously close to 250 lbs, I have no desire to crash through yet another unwelcome plateau. One day of seriousness, will not change the direction of my weight gains, but I am fairly certain that the expression, that a journey of many miles begins with the first step has an application to my condition. So, Tuesday, was a first good step in the right direction.

Tuesday: calories consumed 1160, calories burned during 7.5 mile hike 1330

FORSYTH, ILLINOIS

It was not easy to find the time for an urban hike on Thursday.  Like 40 million other Americans, I was up late on Wednesday night watching the Chicago Cubs win their first World Series since 1908. Yesterday morning, I needed to get up early at 5AM and be on my way by 7AM for a 10:00AM appointment about 130 miles from Chicago. After that appointment I had to drive another 60 miles to Virden, Illinois. Finally, I needed to drive approximately 60 miles yet again, to get to Forsyth, Illinois which planted me about 30 minutes from my Friday morning appointment. I did not arrive to Forsythe until just after sunset. It would have been easy to simply scrap my urban hike - I chose not to do that. Although it was dark when I set out, the temperature was a very welcoming, 58°F.  I did manage to squeeze in a ten mile urban hike.
