After being cooped up in airplanes/cars too much recently, decided to walk to friend’s 50th birthday party in Concord, MA from the Colonial Inn. This was a nearly 4 mile walk. Trouble was, it was absolutely pouring rain, so I bought myself a nice, light blue raincoat–I was determined to walk, and did!

- Brekky: Dunkin’ Donuts coffee (1/2 small cup w/cream) + chocolate-frosted donut

- Dinner: Leftover stuffed bell pepper (with various veggies) from last night’s dinner at Russian Tea Time in Chicago; 2 apples — a granny smith and a red delicious, 1 hard-boiled egg I brought with me from No Worries Farm
General Note: It’s fairly impossible to eat healthily with no decent breakfast place within walking distance (I’m car-less), no grocery store within walking distance, and no healthy dinner places within walking distance…
