Daily Bread #115

I did two hikes and one Black Lives Matter march last week.  One hike was through the lush beauty of Point Reyes via the Bear Valley Trail.  That one was 8 miles and fairly flat.

The other hike was to the Nike Missile site above San Rafael.  It was only 6.8 miles, but a much harder trail with an elevation gain of 1826 feet.

 

The BLM march was much shorter, only a couple of miles, but it was important for me to be there.  I missed my virtual group meeting to attend, but I know they will forgive me.  It made me a little nervous to march agin, given the pandemic, and there were at least 500 people there.  Almost all wore masks, however, something that is no longer true on the trails.  I guess people who care about justice really do care about others.

 

 

 

 

 

 

With all that activity, I lost a little more weight this week, even though all I need to do now is maintain.

No worries except for racism and homophobia.  The police murdered another young black man, Rayshard Brooks, who was just sleeping off a drink in his car. If he had been white, they would have simply woken him up and told him to call an UBER.  The Trump administration this week eliminated the affordable care act protections from discrimination for trans people.  I have friends that might die as a result.

No justice; no peace.  “We who believe in freedom cannot rest until it comes.”

Be well, stay safe. Work for justice.  #blacklivesmatter #translivesmatter

All lives will matter when the lives of the marginalized are valued.  Until that day comes, all lives clearly don’t matter.

L’Chaim!  Week 7 of maintenance: My Fitbit report from last week shows 97027 steps for 39 miles.   I ate approximately 12047 calories and burned 14500 for a deficit of 2453. My average weight this week is down 1.1 pounds from last week’s average for a total loss of 175.7.
