ATTACK OF THE 50 FT WOMAN?

I was minding my own business walking along Washington Avenue in Peoria, Illinois when I spotted a highly unusual sight up ahead. Was it the star of the 1958 cult classic movie, Attack of the 50 Ft. Women?


As it turns out, this was not an attack of a 50 foot woman. For one thing, this gal, whose name is Vanna, is 'only' seventeen feet tall according to Roadside America. If I had known that I could see this unusual roadside attraction, I certainly would have headed for it on my hike. How cool that I came across this accidentally? When one walks as much as I do, you are bound to see some unexpected things. I walk, therefore I am (more fit.)

If every day were like today...   You'd weigh 184 lbs in 5 weeks     


Great News! All I need to do, is keep my caloric intake at about 1200 and walk 19 miles. If I can do this every day for thirty five days, myfitnesspal predicts I will weigh 184 pounds in five weeks. Here's my prediction: I will not be walking 19 miles per day and I will not likely keep my calories at 1200 every day.  I usually struggle to keep my calories under 2000. Still, I did get a kick out of seeing this 'prediction.'
