7:34 a.m. - Back home today...I think I'm experiencing "camping lag". I have an appointment to have my knee checked out; I'm hoping to get some direction on what to do next. If the rain holds off, I may mow the yard after the appointment.
Quick Recap
LEAVE EDGINGTON AROUND 7-8 a.m. Monday, July 26
STOP #1 -- Toledo East/Stoney Ridge KOA July 26 - Trip went fine (Chicagoland driving on I-80 is always interesting), KOA wasn't much, but it was all that we really needed for a stop over.
STOP #2 - Niagara Falls Grand Island Holiday KOA - July 27-30 - The KOA wasn't hard to get to once we figured out how to get around Cleveland and Buffalo without too much traffic. The drive surprised me...only rolling hills and no views of the lake. Niagara Falls was definitely something to see once, but everything to see is really in the state park; the town itself isn't really anything special. On the final day there in the area, we drove up to Lake Ontario to see it. On this day, we had light rain at times, but this was the only day we experienced anything but wonderful weather. One interesting food I tried was "beef on a weck", which is pretty much Italian beef.
STOP #3 - Artillery Ridge Campground - Gettysburg - July 30-Aug. 3 - For me, the campground was perfect, but it was a bit "old school". We had a guided tour, a horseback guided tour, and we drove around ourselves a little. I also rode my bike in a couple of other areas. We ate at a little old time tavern for one meal, and we experienced King's Onion Soup. On our last day we drove south to visit the Antietam battlefield. The drive to this campground from Niagara Falls wasn't much fun - state highway 15 north-south in Pennsylvania is "scenic".
STOP #4 - Toledo East/Stoney Ridge KOA Aug. 3 - This was by far the worst drive of the trip. We took U.S. 30 east and then interstate northeast and I soon found out that ALL of Pennsylvania is "scenic".
ARRIVE BACK TO EDGINGTON - August 4 sometime in the afternoon - We got an early start and were home by around 2 p.m. ... it was nice to get back to Illinois roads but my last stop to get gas in Atkinson was the most expensive of the whole trip. We returned home to what would soon be a house full of people. The pool and the yard both looked okay, so the return (so far) has been uneventful, which is good!
2) Strength train...activate muscle growth hormone.
3) Cardio train...deplete glycogen to allow for energy burned by fat.
4) Accept the voices, but don't listen to ghrelin and leptin. (after 8 p.m.)
5) Eat foods I like but control for calories - stick to 2,100 calories
